Is it possible to create controls in the Attribute manager with Python?
I have a Python Tag that I would like to show four buttons in the Attribute manager when it is selected.
But I only seem to find information about creating a GeDialog. Is there anything on creating stuff on the Attribute manager?

You need to write Ressource files. Instead of dialog, it's called a description.
There are examples in the doc.
Py-RoundedTube or Py-SpherifyModifier for example.

"Description resource" in the C++ SDK is probably the best source of information about this.
Here's a very simple tag with a button and some other things on it that might help:https:////sites.google.com/site/scottayersmedia/MyPythonTag.zip?attredirects=0&d=1

Scott, by the way:
You can already use those Parameter-Ids in your Plugin*.
Like: rot.x = tag[c4d.rotx]
Do also always write those IDs Upparcase, as this is the standart of C4D.

Nux.
The reason that file uses numeric ID's is because I use it to remind myself of both ways we can create gizmos. Using Both the .res names method, and the numeric ID method.
It was just something really simple I could slap a button on to show Rui an example.
But you're right about the Case.
If I give it out. I should probably not use lower case names. So I changed that.
I don't want to promote bad habits. :slightly_smiling_face:

Everything was going fine until the time I needed to check what was the button it was pressed.
I assume it is done inside the Message procedure.
The message procedure has the following parameters: Message(self, tag, type, data) :
I placed in there:
print type
print data
and only the data part seems to return something useful in the form:
{id: (1001, 8, 100000011)}
The problem is that it appears in the middle of a whole lot more data that I don't need.
So, how can I extract the information of what button in being pressed?
Thank you very much in advance for any reply.

Lol, same question one topic down of this one here.
I'm not at home, so i cant test it right now.
It was something like _
if not data: return True
id = data[0]["id"][0]_
or so.

Did you also tried to change the Keys ? I'm no able to try it today.
try this to check out what returns what.
if not data: return True
print data
print data[0]
print data[0]["id"]
print data[0][0]
print data[0]["id"][0]
print data[0][0]["id"]
You can then just delete what raises
an error.

None of those worked out. But I'm getting somewhere by trial&error; ;-)
So, what I have now is:
def Message(self, tag, type, data) :
if not type: return True
if type<>18: return True
print data.values()[0]
return True
And, what I get it something like:
(1001, 8, 100000011)
So, now I just need a way to extract the first number (the 1001, in this case).
Any help?

I can't even determine the type of the "but" variable :(
If it is in the format (1001, 8, 100000011), it is not an array, right? It is not a dict either, I believe.
So, how can I extract the numbers from it?

Ok, it seems to be a tuple but when I print the first element with print but[0], instead of a number, I get:
<c4d.DescLevel object at 0x12902c4b0>
What I want is a number, as in... 1001
How?!? ;-)

Hi Rui, you can access this by calling but[0].id

Did you get the button to actually work Rui?
I can get other things to work like check boxes..But not Buttons:
def Message(self, tag, type, bc) :
bc = tag.GetDataInstance();
if bc.GetLong(c4d.XRAY)== True: #This works
print "CheckBox Enabled"
if bc.GetLong(c4d.CLICK_ME)== True: #<-----This does not work!!
print "Button Pushed"
Maybe I need to get and check the state of the button?

Yeah.. That helps a lot Rui.
But it doesn't seem to work with ID names
if but[0].id==1006: print "button enabled" #<---Works
if but[0].id==CLICK_ME: print "button enabled" #<---Does Not Work!
I'm sure there's a good reason for why the ID names don't work. But it's not the end of the world to have to use the ID numbers.
Where did you find this?:type<>18
I've never seen that before. And I'm wondering what it means.
Is that a C4D SDK thing. Or is that something that is built into the Python language?

Actually I found out by trial&error.;
I just placed a print type inside the Message procedure. I noted the values. Then I placed a:
if type==(numbers the I noted, one by one) :
print data
And when I compared the type with 18, it printed out:
(1001, 8, 100000011)
Not a very elegant way to find out, but it did the trick. However, I don't know what the 18 means ;-)
