I can't quite get this to work. I've figured out how to do button press testing using Tags with code I've seen around the forums - but when I create a button directly on my Python Generator, what goes on inside message() seems different and the usual code doesn't work..

Hello,
can you tell us what code you are using with the Tags? And what kind of "usual code" you are using?
best wishes,

Hi
This is the code I used for tags with a user data button on it..

...but with the same code on a Python Generator the IDs are large numbers, which don't seem anything to do with the button ID.

Hello,
when I use your code I have no problem getting the correct user data button ID as defined in the User Data manager. As always I suggest to use the correct identifiers and no magic numbers. The code can look like this:
def message(id,data) :
if id == c4d.MSG_DESCRIPTION_CHECKUPDATE:
# check if button
if data["descid"][1].dtype == c4d.DTYPE_BUTTON:
# get id
buttonID = data["descid"][1].id
If the problem persists you could give us some more information about your code and your system.
best wishes,
Sebastian
