After looking at your GIF again, it seems like the following happens:
When checking for BFM_INTERACTEND and poking yround inyour dialog, the focus switches back to the last active Gadget. Thus your commands are fired since you are checking if the gadgets do have the focus.

May I ask in what range you enumerated your Dialog controls?
If I recall correctly, there was this kind of behavior if the control IDs were below a certain number.

@moGRR said in Python Generator - Adding Shaders to Deformer Objects:

I'd find it really beneficial if there was a summary text that explained what the code does

There is. Every section has a readme. https://github.com/PluginCafe/cinema4d_py_sdk_extended/blob/master/plugins/readme.md

@m_magalhaes said in Get Decimal/Floating Values On Current Frames Divided by FPS?:

If you type instead frame/float(fps) python will create a new float variable for fps.

Although not likely in this case, casting the number may result in a TypeError if the number is a complex number.

Hi noseman. I don't quite understand. For me, you example outputs the name of all nodes, but the topmost. All objects rotate accordingly.
What do you expect to happen?

edit: Ah, you probably expect the toroids to also rotate around their own axis?

You might have to cast them to float before division. This is a known problem in Python 2.
You could simply do a

time_ratio = frame/(fps * 1.0)

Alternatively, you could simply use from __future__ import division but since we are in C4d environment, that might or might not work. - wrong, since this works only from 2.2 and up, not 2.17.

I thought that when a compilation is working, no need to change the projecttool?

This is only part of the truth. You always must ensure that the project tool supports the Cinema 4D version used with.

Easiest would have been to stick to the recommendations and use the proposed platform toolset/VS version: https://developers.maxon.net/docs/Cinema4DCPPSDK/html/page_maxonapi_dev_windows.html

Hello dada,
please see the docs: MessageDialog

Don't know if it makes a difference, but the example uses float values for the dimensions.
