Hi,

when opening the Coffee Editor with CoffeeEditor_Open() I need to pass a baselist2D object and the callback function.

This is clear for generators etc, but what BaseList2D object shall be passed when this is in a dialog? The dialog doesn´t require any objects in the scene so I can not pass the active object for example.

Any help is appreciated.

Thx
Katachi

I think you can just set it to a dummy object.

Hi,

long time ago I posted this, but I need another advice here. :)

I have an object that is not in a document and when I try to open the coffee editor from within its message function, the editor is opened but the code is not in it and the whole editor is ghosted (greyed out).

Any way to workaround this?

A dummy document? :) Really, maybe putting the dummy object into a dummy document (one not added to the editor list) will work - maybe. Worth a try.

:) already tried that and it doesn´t work and the object I have I cannot insert into the document as it has to stay outside a document. Any other idea?

Ok, it seems the object has to be in the currently active document (what the...).

That was my fear if the dummy didn't work. You can insert the dummy object and remove it once you are done. Just remember that while not in the document, you own the object and must handle its deletion. I don't know of any object that doesn't appear in the Object Manager. The least damaging, I guess, is a Null Object. Poor solution, I'll admit.

yes, but unfortunately it´s an inacceptable workaround for me.

ok, wrote my own coffee editor. (I hate this...such simple things and one still has to code own stuff for things that are already there)
