TracksBoard.ItemOffsetMove method

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Remarks

 

Moves of a given amount the offset of a specific item. The current offset can be obtained through the TracksBoard.ItemOffsetGet method and set through the TracksBoard.ItemOffsetSet method.

 

 

Important note about items overlapping

 

Overlapping of two items on the same track is now allowed so, in case the offset change should cause an overlapping and upon space availability, the item will be automatically moved to the next track or to the previous track; if both previous and next tracks should in any case suffer an overlapping, a new track will be automatically inserted on the nearest position.

Syntax

 

[Visual Basic]

control.TracksBoard.ItemOffsetMove (

nOffsetMs as Long

) as enumErrorCodes


 

[C++]

short control.TracksBoard.ItemOffsetMove (

long nUniqueId,

long nOffsetMs

);


 

Parameter

Description

 

 

nUniqueId

Unique identification number assigned to the sound item after being generated by one of the following methods:

TracksBoard.ItemClone when an existing item has been cloned

 

When this value is set to -1 all of the existing items are moved of the same amount.

nOffsetMs

Amount of movement applied to the current offset of the item, expressed in milliseconds. Negative values will move the offset backward while positive values will move the offset forward.

In case the amount to move should bring the item(s) on a negative position, the amount to move will be reduced accordingly in order to keep all offsets >= 0
