[RWP] AutoHotKey A Few HotSpots

[Indigo]

Jim, when I derive coordinates with my home made screen scraping method; 
It results in standard resolution X Y coordinates, which I think always 
starts the pixel count from the upper left corner of the screen, doesn't it?
How could a button's coordinates not be relative to the upper left 
corner; where the pixel count begins; even if I begin my search from 
another point on the screen?
I've had the issue of Reaper screen coordinates not working in Sonar, 
even for the same screenreader, don't know why.
Someday I intend to install a reasonable size and complexity Sonar, like 
Sonar version 4, which I can get around on, and try to derive 
coordinates for the same VST synth buttons, then find, if possible, a 
conversion factor.

I never use Reaper's generic plug interface, even though it works for 
my hand rolled method of finding buttons, because the more friendly 
synths, like LinPlug Albino offer some text titles on their native 
interfaces, and I'd constantly be switching back and forth between 
Reaper's generic interface and the plug's native interface.
I think it's the word arpeggiated, or maybe the word ambient;  on the 
Albino interface that I left click, which drops a list of presets, in 
that catagory; but then it exposes titles of other catagories, like 
leads, basses, keys.
Like all of us, I'm sure; I'll take any clue I can find to get a toe in 
the access door.
