Some basics, please

Is the Output Plugin active while Vixen is in the "edit" mode?

I would like to be able to highlight a series of cells in a channel and invoke a routine (are hotkeys allowed?) that will read/write to those channels based on external file contents/conditions.

I was trying to do it in an Add-in but I can not seem to determine which cells are selected.

Any input would be appreciated.

If you are referring to Vixen 2.x, then no, Output Plugins are not "active" unless Vixen is in playback mode. The DLLs are loaded, but the actual Output Plugin object is not instantiated while you are in edit mode.

Vixen allows a range of cells to be selected and then saved/loaded to/from an external file. This is the Routine function. Depending on what you are trying to do, that function might help.

Also, the RGBLED Add-in is an example that sets cell values, but it does not interact directly with the cell editing window.
