Solved How to open Script Manager and set what Script it is showing?

I would like to open up the Script Manager and make it display a specific script.

Is this possible in C++ for R20 to S26?

I saw the CodeEditor_Open function, but that seems built for a completely different purpose.

Hi @kbar, the CodeEditor_Open function is for the Expression Manager, explanation and example can be found in the Using CodeEditor_Open() topic.

To open the ScriptManager, the only possible way is to use CallCommand(1001084).

Since S26 LoadPythonScript and SetActiveScriptObject have been added. The first one will load an existing script and set it as active while the second will set a script already loaded as active.
Before S26, this is not possible, even if the GeListHead containing all BaseList2D representing a script is public (via GetScriptHead) the BaseList2D object representing a script did not expose any way to get/set its script content or even if it is active.

Finally you can find an example in load_python_script.py, it's in Python but porting it to C++ is straightforward.

Cheers,
Maxime.

@kbar I think much better to create your own Edit Script dialog with blackjack and... Save and Execute Buttons. Use GeDialog.AddMultiLineEditText with a flags DR_MULTILINE_SYNTAXCOLOR and DR_MULTILINE_PYTHON.
