For example, the following figure,i want to get its path
Thanks for any help!
Hello @chuanzhen,
Thank you for reaching out to us. While I understand your question, it is slightly ambiguous, as you do not tell us how and where this file name custom GUI is being created. It could be a dialog or a description, and you could use a resource file or the GeDialog methods to create it.
GeDialog
A FilenameCustomGui has multiple flags which change its behavior, one of which is FILENAME_DIRECTORY. The '...' button will then open a directory selection dialog instead of a file selection dialog. If you want some sort of conditional operation ("select files by default, but if a directory is empty, allow the selection of such directory"), this is unfortunately not possible. You can only select files or directories, not both based on a custom condition.
FilenameCustomGui
When you have defined your GUI in a resource file, you must add the DIRECTORY flag to the element, here is an example from a Team Render resource.
DIRECTORY
LONG PREF_ASSETCHUNKSIZE { ANIM OFF; MIN 2; MAX 256;} SEPARATOR PREF_SEP_PATHS { } FILENAME PREF_SERVICEREPOSITORYPATH { DIRECTORY; } } }
When you add the gadget manually in a CreateLayout, you must set the bool c4d.FILENAME_DIRECTORY to True in the customdata container passed to GeDialog.AddCustomGui.
CreateLayout
bool
c4d.FILENAME_DIRECTORY
True
customdata
GeDialog.AddCustomGui
Cheers, Ferdinand
@ferdinand Thanks. I create Filename Gui in CreateLayout it work,this is code:
bc = c4d.BaseContainer() bc.SetBool(c4d.FILENAME_DIRECTORY,True) self.AddCustomGui(1012, c4d.CUSTOMGUI_FILENAME,"",c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT, 50, 20, bc)
