Say I want to get the location of a clip slot on the screen. Is there a way to do this without hovering the mouse over it and sending some of sort of 'get location' message to this/that/the other object? Is there some Live API attribute I'm not seeing?

I'd love to be able to determine the locations of all the clip slots in the grid automatically. Am I relinquished to creating a list and checking it twice? Thanks.

So you want the location of the clip not IN Live, but the location ON the screen?

If that's the case I don't think live objects have that attribute, and I'm not surprised. I can't imagine why they would go through the trouble to expose the location of all UI objects at all times to the API. Now that I think about it, you don't get access to many UI properties in the API. Color, location, unit etc.

I know you can get clip / clip slot colors. But, yeah, it was a long shot. Time to start a list.
