Hi,

I want the c4d.gui.InputDialog to restrict to numbers. Currently, it allows and will return a string as verified by this thread and in the documentation.

Can someone confirm if this is still applicable for the latest version (i.e. R21)?

If so, are there any definitive solutions?
I was thinking of calling a GuiDialog within a GuiDialog so I can create a dedicated GeDialog.AddEditNumber().
But I'm not sure how to implement this.

Is there a way around this?

P.S. Just for background:
Within my current GuiDialog, it has several buttons. And when you press some of them, I would like a Dialog Pop-up and asks for input before the command in the button executes itself.

Thanks for the response.

RE: And in this method call GeDialog.Enable(buttonId, False).
This was clear to me. I was able to dim it down.

But how do I implement this one:
The correct way would be to have a timer or to forward the GetState method from the CommandData to the GeDialog.

@m_adam

Thanks for the response. I tried this code:
morph_tag.SetParameter(c4d.ID_CA_POSE_MIXING, c4d.ID_CA_POSE_MIXING_REL, c4d.DESCFLAGS_SET_NONE)

It doesn't error out but it has the same effect as above. The mixing is set to "Relative" but the icon still shows "A".

Are there any additional settings I should look out for?

Hi,

I am creating a morph tag and setting the mixing to a relative but the problem is it remains absolute.
You can see an illustration of the problem here:

You can see the working code below:

import c4d
from c4d import gui

# Main function
def main():
    obj_list = doc.GetActiveObjects(c4d.GETACTIVEOBJECTFLAGS_SELECTIONORDER)
    
    morph_tag = obj_list[-1].MakeTag(c4d.Tposemorph)
    morph_tag[c4d.ID_CA_POSE_POINTS] = 1
    
    # Create the Base Pose
    c4d.CallButton(morph_tag, c4d.ID_CA_POSE_ADDMORPH)
    
    
    for obj in obj_list[:-1]:
        morph = morph_tag.AddMorph()
        morph.SetName(obj.GetName())
        
        count = morph_tag.GetMorphCount() 
        morph_tag.SetActiveMorphIndex(count-1)
        morph.SetMode(doc, morph_tag, c4d.CAMORPH_MODE_FLAGS_ALL, c4d.CAMORPH_MODE_REL)
        #morph_tag[c4d.ID_CA_POSE_MIXING] = c4d.ID_CA_POSE_MIXING_REL
        morph_tag[c4d.ID_CA_POSE_TARGET] =  obj
        morph_tag.UpdateMorphs()      
      
    c4d.EventAdd()

# Execute main()
if __name__=='__main__':
    main()

Hi,

Is there a way I can gray out a button that doesn't need a specific condition?
You can see an illustration of the problem here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/rfw2nw8o298r0ej/c4d162_python_gray_out_custom_gui_button.jpg?dl=0

I used the SetToggleState(set), BITMAPBUTTON_ICONID1 and BITMAPBUTTON_ICONID2 but I am having a problem on implementing it.

Here is the code so far:

import c4d
from c4d import bitmaps, documents, gui, plugins, threading, utils

PLUGIN_ID   = 1011328

class MyDialog(gui.GeDialog):

    def CreateLayout(self):

        self.SetTitle('Colorizer')
        self.doc = c4d.documents.GetActiveDocument()
        
        # Prepare a red bitmap for the button.
        w = 50
        h = 50

        # BitmapButton configuration
        bcBitmapButton = c4d.BaseContainer()
        bcBitmapButton[c4d.BITMAPBUTTON_BUTTON] = True
        bcBitmapButton[c4d.BITMAPBUTTON_ICONID1] = c4d.Ocube
        bcBitmapButton[c4d.BITMAPBUTTON_ICONID2] = c4d.Oplane # should be the greyed out Ocube

        buttonId = 2000
        _bitmapButton = self.AddCustomGui(buttonId, c4d.CUSTOMGUI_BITMAPBUTTON, "", c4d.BFH_CENTER|c4d.BFV_CENTER, w, h, bcBitmapButton)

        icon = c4d.bitmaps.InitResourceBitmap(c4d.Ocube)
        _bitmapButton.SetImage(icon, True)

        if len(doc.GetActiveObjects())>0: 
            _bitmapButton.SetToggleState(0)
        else:
            _bitmapButton.SetToggleState(1)

        return True

    def Command(self, id, msg):
        
        if id==2000 : 
            print "Create Cube"

        return True

class MyMenuPlugin(plugins.CommandData):

    dialog = None
    def Execute(self, doc):
    # create the dialog
       if self.dialog is None:
          self.dialog = MyDialog()

       return self.dialog.Open(dlgtype=c4d.DLG_TYPE_ASYNC, pluginid=PLUGIN_ID, defaultw=200, defaulth=150, xpos=-1, ypos=-1)

    def RestoreLayout(self, sec_ref):
    # manage the dialog
       if self.dialog is None:
          self.dialog = MyDialog()
       return self.dialog.Restore(pluginid=PLUGIN_ID, secret=sec_ref)

if __name__ == "__main__":

    okyn = plugins.RegisterCommandPlugin(PLUGIN_ID, "Cubey",0, None, "Cubey initialized", MyMenuPlugin())
    if (okyn):
        print "Cubey initialized"

Thank you for looking at my problem

@s_bach

Thanks for the clarification

@m_adam

Thanks for the response. Works as expected.

Hi @s_bach

RE: as a I said, c4d.gui.GetInputState()
Correct me if I'm wrong but I guess you are trying to distinguish the specific keys and the qualifier keys. In my post above, I didn't know the distinction so I just treat all the keyboard keys as both the specific keys and qualifier keyys.

Can I clarify, if the c4d.gui.GetInputState() is preferred for the specific keys.
What command should I use for the qualifier keys?

Hi,

I'm trying to use resize the native and 3rd party plug-in icons but they don't respect the width and height I specified.

Here is a code snippet:

        bcBitmapButton = c4d.BaseContainer()
        bcBitmapButton[c4d.BITMAPBUTTON_BUTTON] = True

        w = 12
        h = 12


        null_btn_id = 1001
        null_btn = self.AddCustomGui(null_btn_id, c4d.CUSTOMGUI_BITMAPBUTTON, "", c4d.BFH_CENTER|c4d.BFV_CENTER, w, h, bcBitmapButton)
        null_icon = c4d.bitmaps.InitResourceBitmap(c4d.Onull)
        null_btn.SetImage(null_icon, True)

As you can see I specified 12x12 size but the native icon maintain its 50x50 and th 3rd party icons maintain its 100x100 size.

You can see an illustration of the problem here:

Thank you for looking at my problem

@m_magalhaes

Thanks for the response. Works as expected.
I didn't know that the Message function can also executed commands. I thought every command should be in the Command function.

RE: Be aware that the right click is catched for the popmenu
No worries. I don't use the RMB for my code so far.

Thanks again! :)
