Hello there,

How can I send the variable "Value" from the main dialog to the sub dialog, check script and screenshot below :

import c4d  
from c4d import gui, bitmaps  
  
NO = 21549  
YES = 21547  
CHECK_ICON = 21548  
  
class subDialog(gui.GeDialog) :  
  def CreateLayout(self) :      
      self.SetTitle("Sub Dialog")     
      self.GroupBegin(id=0, flags=c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT, cols=2)  
      self.GroupBorderSpace(0, 0, 10, 0)  
  
      bc = c4d.BaseContainer()     
      fn = bitmaps.InitResourceBitmap(c4d.Tprotection)  
      self.myBitButton=self.AddCustomGui(CHECK_ICON, c4d.CUSTOMGUI_BITMAPBUTTON, "Bitmap Button", c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT | c4d.BFV_SCALEFIT, 50, 50, bc)  
      self.myBitButton.SetImage(fn, False)  
    
      self.GroupBegin(id=0, flags=c4d.BFH_CENTER, cols=1)  
      self.AddStaticText(7, c4d.BFH_LEFT, 0, 0, "The value " + **str(Value)** \+ " is higher than the recommended value", c4d.BORDER_NONE) **# Send the variable "Value" here**  
      self.AddStaticText(7, c4d.BFH_LEFT, 0, 0, "Press YES to continue or NO to cancel", c4d.BORDER_NONE)  
      self.GroupEnd()  
        
      self.GroupEnd()  
        
      self.AddSeparatorH(0, c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT)  
        
      self.GroupBegin(id=0, flags=c4d.BFH_CENTER, cols=2)  
      self.AddButton(YES, c4d.BFH_CENTER, 30, 15, name="YES")  
      self.AddButton(NO, c4d.BFH_CENTER, 30, 15, name="NO")  
      self.GroupEnd()  
        
      return True    
  
  def Command(self, id, msg) :        
      if (id == YES) :  
          self.Response = True

      self.SetTitle("Main Dialog")      
      self.AddButton(11001, c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT, 0, 20, "Open Sub Dialog")          
      return True      
  def Command(self, id, msg) :  
      if id == 11001:  
          **Value = 1800 # How to send this variable to the sub dialog**  
          if Value > 1500 :    
              self.subDialog = subDialog()  
              self.subDialog.Open(dlgtype=c4d.DLG_TYPE_MODAL, defaultw=300, defaulth=0)  
            
              if self.subDialog.Response == True :  
                  print self.subDialog.Response  
              else :  
                  print self.subDialog.Response    
        
      return True  
def main() :  
  global mainDialog  
  mainDialog = mainDialog()  
  mainDialog.Open(c4d.DLG_TYPE_MODAL, xpos=700, ypos= 200, defaultw=516, defaulth=10)

Hi,

You can simply pass the value via the constructor ( __init__() ) of your SubDialog class and store it as a member. You should initialize the Response member there too.
And you can also have methods in the _SubDialog _class to get and set the value.
