How to use the new UserData Button?

Hi,
from the plugin side it could be set and used like this:
def AddUserdata(self,op) :
rootGroup = c4d.GetCustomDatatypeDefault(c4d.DTYPE_GROUP)
rootGroup[c4d.DESC_NAME] = "Button_Group"
rootGroup[c4d.DESC_SCALEH] = False
rootGroup[22] = 2 #two colums
rootGroup[c4d.DESC_PARENTGROUP] = c4d.DescID(0)
op.AddUserData(rootGroup)
button= c4d.GetCustomDatatypeDefault(c4d.DTYPE_BUTTON)
button[c4d.DESC_NAME] = "BUTTON"
button[c4d.DESC_CUSTOMGUI] = c4d.CUSTOMGUI_BUTTON
button[c4d.DESC_PARENTGROUP] = op.GetUserDataContainer()[0][0]
UsdataDescId=op.AddUserData(button)
def Message(self, node, type, data) :
if type== c4d.MSG_MENUPREPARE:
AddUserdata(self,node)
if (type == c4d.MSG_DESCRIPTION_COMMAND) :
id = data['id'][0].id
if(id == 700) :
print id
print data
print "button pressed"
Cheers,

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
Is there a way to get to the button in a python tag, like with other user data?
I tried:
print op.GetObject()[c4d.ID_USERDATA,1]
in a python tag, but that returns None

unfortunatly I don´t have a solution for this.
It seem´s logical to me that op.GetObject()[c4d.ID_USERDATA,1] does´nt work.
A button message is´nt the same, as a stored ud value.
It´s indeed interesting how to handle this.
Anyone?

I think I may have figured out where the buttons are meant to be used. The new 'Interaction tag" in R16 has a message function you can activate and I managed to get it to give me consistent numbers when using UserData button presses.
def message(id, data) :
if id == 18: # Don't know why 18 yet :(
for i in data['msg']: #seems to be the consistently changing thing
print i[c4d.DESC_NAME] #the number stays [c](https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=consistent&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8)onsistent aligning with different button presses
Let me know if anyone has more light to shed.
Thanks,

It seems we are able to use message function in python tag now.
PythonTag with UserDataButton and following lines...
import c4d
#Welcome to the world of Python
def message(id, data) :
if id == 17:
print "UserData-ID: ", data["descid"][1].id
def main() :
pass #put in your code here

Hi,
thank you both Adam and rown.
For the idea and the proper solution at the end.
This works!

#define MSG_DESCRIPTION_CHECKUPDATE 17 ///< Allows elements to determine the type of refresh after a parameter has been changed in the Active manager.

id == 17 - rown, you simply check out dirty of gui?! But if udata is at pyTag...
if udata at host op( _op.GetObject()_ ), thats question.
I tried through c4dAtom.Message...freeze c4d or got shutdown

Just for completeness, in this thread there's now a more complete example, how to use User Data buttons in the Interaction Tag.
