Understanding SetCommandDragId

lasselauch

I'm having troubles to understand the SetCommandDragId function for c4d.gui.BitmapButtonCustomGui.
I'm using the following function to add my BitmapButton to my Dialog:

    def AddIconButton(self, buttonid, title, iconid, tooltip):
        bc = c4d.BaseContainer()
        bc.SetBool(c4d.BITMAPBUTTON_BUTTON, True)
        bc.SetInt32(c4d.BITMAPBUTTON_ICONID1, iconid)
        bc.SetString(c4d.BITMAPBUTTON_TOOLTIP, tooltip)
        bc.SetInt32(c4d.BITMAPBUTTON_FORCE_SIZE, 32)
        button = self.AddCustomGui(buttonid, c4d.CUSTOMGUI_BITMAPBUTTON, title, c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT | c4d.BFV_SCALEFIT, 40, 40, bc)
        #set button.SetCommandDragId() here?!!!
        return button

Even inside the CreateLayout I had no luck with FindCustomGUI() ...
What's the best way to approach this?

Thanks,
Lasse

I must add:

Either they are dragable to the layout or I'm only able to press within the dialog...

Hi yes, the behavior changes a bit once you defined the BitmapCustomGui as a Button that can be dragged.

    def CreateLayout(self):
        bc = c4d.BaseContainer()
        bc.SetBool(c4d.BITMAPBUTTON_BUTTON, True)
        bc.SetInt32(c4d.BITMAPBUTTON_ICONID1, c4d.Ocube)
        bc.SetInt32(c4d.BITMAPBUTTON_FORCE_SIZE, 32)
        button = self.AddCustomGui(10003, c4d.CUSTOMGUI_BITMAPBUTTON, "but", c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT | c4d.BFV_SCALEFIT, 40, 40, bc)
        button.SetCommandDragId(c4d.Ocube)
        return True

    def Message(self, msg, result):
        if msg.GetId() == c4d.BFM_INTERACTEND:
            if self.IsActive(10003):
                print 'Icon clicked in the GeDialog.'

Note that if you click on the icon directly from the Cinema 4D palette it will automatically call the CallCommand with the correct it.
