Solved GeDialog in a Python Script does not work

Hello,

I'm probably missing something here, but I can't get a GeDialog in a Python Script (not plugin!) to work at all.

import c4d

class TestDialog(c4d.gui.GeDialog):

    BUTTON_ID = 1001

    def CreateLayout(self):
        self.SetTitle("A meaningful dialog title")
        self.AddButton(self.BUTTON_ID, c4d.BFH_SCALE|c4d.BFV_SCALE, 100, 25, "Close Dialog")
        #self.AddDlgGroup(c4d.DLG_OK|c4d.DLG_CANCEL)
        return True

    def Message(self, msg, result):
        return True

    def Command(self, id, msg):
        if id==self.BUTTON_ID:
          self.Close()
        return True

# Main function
def main():
    # Test dialog
    diag = TestDialog()
    diag.Open(dlgtype=c4d.DLG_TYPE_MODAL, defaultw=400, defaulth=400)


# Execute main()
if __name__=='__main__':
    main()

The only thing that happens when executing this script is that an empty dialog appears (the size is correct, but there is neither a dialog title, nor any gadgets) that can only be closed by force-quitting Cinema.

• The console does not show any errors or exceptions.
• I tested the same code in R20 and R19, both with the exact same result.
• Manually calling diag.CreateLayout() before the diag.Open() call did not change anything.

What am I doing wrong?

Hi Frank, you actually return True from the Message method while the result of the parent call was expected

def Message(self, msg, result):
    return c4d.gui.GeDialog.Message(self, msg, result)

For more information please read the documentation about GeDialog.Message.

Aaah, ok, thanks!

I browsed a couple of examples here in the forum, and always saw them return True. Should've known better
