As users adjust the size of a dialog window, I need to resize the GeUserArea in the layout.
What message can I use to know if a user is resizing, and/or has resized a dialog window.
And how can I get the new sizes of the window, hopefully, while they are doing it, to adjust the GeUserArea?
Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,
actually it is pretty straight forward, as you get the new size as parameters to the DrawMsg() function.
See for example the Py-MemoryViewer.pyp from the SDK examples.
Furthermore you could also implement the Sized() method, if you need to update data upon resizing.

Andreas,
Getting the new size from the 'DrawMsg()' function works fine.
Could you explain how to best use the 'Sized()' method you mentioned.
How and when to use it?
Also, is there any direct way (message to intercept) to know if a user is docking or un-docking a dialog, or resizing a dialog?
Thanks,
Chris

I got the 'Sized()' working, but how about the docking, or un-docking a dialog message?
Or, is there any way to test if a dialog has the focus?

Hi Chris,
I'm not aware of any method to detect (un-)docking of a dialog.
Focus changes can be detected with messages BFM_GOTFOCUS and BFM_LOSTFOCUS.

Andreas,
I'm trying to detect when a dialog window gets or loses the focus.
I'm doing the following
def Message(self, msg, result) :
if msg[c4d.BFM_GOTFOCUS]:
print 'got'
if msg[c4d.BFM_LOSTFOCUS]:
print 'lost'
When I switch between dialogs, only the 'got' prints.
Why doesn't 'lost' print?

It should be
if msg.GetId() == c4d.BFM_GOTFOCUS:
print 'got'
elif msg.GetId() == c4d.BFM_LOSTFOCUS:
print 'lost'

Niklas,
In my plugin, the non-modal main plugin dialog opens a non-modal sub-dialog. In the sub-dialog I've put the following:
def Message(self, msg, result) :
if msg.GetId() == c4d.BFM_GOTFOCUS:
print 'got'
if msg.GetId() == c4d.BFM_LOSTFOCUS:
print 'lost'
When the sub-dialog opens 'got' is printed. Correct.
When the sub-dialog loses the focus (main plugin dialog, or C4D window is clicked) both 'lost' and 'got' are printed. Seems wrong?
When the sub-dialog is closed 'lost' is printed. Correct
But, when I click back and forth between the C4D, or the main plugin dialog, and the sub dialog, nothing happens. This is a problem. I need to know when the sub-dialog gets the focus to update some things.
Shouldn't it print 'got' when you click back and forth between the dialogs.
Thanks,
Chris

Does anyone have any ideas on this?
Why doesn't the sub-dialog seem to get the 'BFM_GOTFOCUS' ?

Hi,
just to be sure, we are not talking about the SubDialog class here, right? As the SubDialog concept is currently not available via Python, I assume you are talking about a second GeDialog window.
I did some tests here with a second dialog window being opened on button press in the first one. Both messages work as expected.
Can you perhaps post some more code to demonstrate your issue?

Andreas,
Yes, I am talking about a second GeDialog window.
Thanks for checking into it.
After further testing, it appears the problem I'm having is due to the 'c4d.BFM_LOSTFOCUS' message not always coming through when I click from the second dialog to either the first dialog or to C4D. When that happens, there is no 'c4d.BFM_GOTFOCUS' message when clicking back into the second dialog. I'm using the 'c4d.BFM_GOTFOCUS' to update some things after changes in C4D.
Most of the time it works though.
Thanks
