Bitmap in UserArea

Ok so first of all: You should always draw a background color if what you can not assume what
you are drawing fills the complete rectangle. The buffer is not simply all set to zero (black) but
is left the way it is. You must fill it with the desired background color yourself.

Second is: You can actually draw outside of the area because the dialog itself is drawn on the same
buffer. You can clip the drawing by using SetClippingRegion(x1, y1, x2, y2)

    def DrawMsg(self, x1, y1, x2, y2, msg) :
        self.DrawSetPen(c4d.COLOR_BG)
        self.DrawRectangle(x1, y1, x2, y2)
        self.SetClippingRegion(x1, y1, x2, y2)
        w = self.bmp.GetBw()
        h = self.bmp.GetBh()
        self.DrawBitmap(self.bmp, self.xValue, self.yValue, w, h, 0, 0, w, h, c4d.BMP_ALLOWALPHA)
        self.DrawBorder(c4d.BORDER_OUT, x1, y1, x2, y2)

No worries. I've got it all worked out now.
It just didn't like the way I was using the class member variables.

Here's the working version. Just in case anyone needs it. Or is curious about it.
When the GeDialog button is clicked. The image moves to a new position properly now.
I also threw in some mouse position checking code.

import  c4d,os

      path = os.path.join(dir, "res")       #Adds the res folder to the directory to target the res folder      
      image = path + "\myimage.png"         #Adds the image to the path  
        
      self.bmp = c4d.bitmaps.BaseBitmap()   #Create an instance of the BaseBitmap class  
      self.bmp.InitWith(image)              #Initialize it with the image  
  
      self.xValue = 5  
      self.yValue = 5  
  
  def DrawMsg(self, x1, y1, x2, y2, msg) :   
        
      self.DrawSetPen(c4d.COLOR_BG)         #COLOR_BG is the image we load with DrawBitmap  
      self.DrawRectangle(x1, y1, x2, y2)    #Draws a rectangle and fills it with the image bitmap  
      self.SetClippingRegion(x1, y1, x2, y2)  
      w, h = self.bmp.GetSize()             #Gets the size values of the image  
      self.DrawBitmap(self.bmp, x1 + self.xValue, y1 + self.yValue, w, h, 0, 0, w, h, c4d.BMP_NORMAL | c4d.BMP_ALLOWALPHA)
