Hi Sebastian!

Turns out my issues are two seperate, but equally self inflicted problems :)

Inserting and activating works as expected, I am blocking the update with some custom UI stuff so I will have to find a solution for that. Calling EventAdd() in the closeEvent of the UI doesn't do anything. Is there another way to force Cinema to update everything?

Killing the document not only doesn't update, but actually crashes Cinema, because I am trying to kill the document from within a callback that is reacting to MSG_DOCUMENTINFO_TYPE_LOAD. I am doing some more involved environment management and sometimes I have to close a document after loading.
I have a workaround that will have to do for now. In the callback I change the document path to a string I can then look for in EVMSG_CHANGE. When I detect my string there, I can then kill the document. It's not very elegant and if anyone has a better solution I would be very happy, but otherwise consider this problem solved :)

Hi there!

When trying to close a document via killDocument the Cinema window doesn't update the editor views, the object manager etc. until you click them. EventAdd() does not seem to do the trick.
I also tried switching to a different document first via SetActiveDocument() to then kill the other document in the background, but it seems SetActiveDocument() has the same problem and does not automatically update the editor.

What is the correct way to switch documents and have the editor show the new one?

Thanks!

Checked again today and it works. So ignore this post I guess?

Hi!

I just noticed, that searching for "EventAdd()" crashes the forum for me.
I don't know why that specific String does it, I couldn't reproduce it with other search queries.
The results load, but then I can't click anything and after a while Chrome tells me the page has crashed.

Hi!

I saw a two year old post that mentioned there was a possibility of getting functionality for registering custom tokens in python. Has anything happened with that over the last years or is that still only possible in C++?

Thanks!

Thanks for confirming my suspicion :)

Hi!

I have a feeling it is not possible, but I would like to add tool tips to commands added via GetSubContainer.
Is there a way to do that?

Thanks!

Ok, thanks!

Hi!

Opening a GeDialog with -2 as xpos/ypos opens it in the center of the primary screen.
Is it possible to open the dialog on whichever screen the Cinema 4D window ist currently?

Thanks!
