This is a known bug. Since S22 is early access, you probably have to wait for the next update.

By the way, this is a forum regarding the SDK and plugin development.
Your inquiry should have been sent directly to the Maxon support.

Best,
Robert

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.

@m_adam I have a question about the following portion of your code:

    # At the end we clean our Thread + BC used to pass data
    elif id == c4d.C4DPL_ENDACTIVITY:
        if GlobalThread:
            GlobalThread.end = True # 1
            GlobalThread.End() # 2

Aren't 1 & 2 not redundant in this case?
TestDBreak() tests for self.end which is satisfied in the above example and therefore TestBreak() also returns True, so the thread exists.
Why the additional call to End()?

What am I missing here?

Cheers,
Robert

Hi there,

don't know much about ObjectData, but Python(*) docs read like you have to listen for MSG_DOCUMENTINFO and then retrieve the MSG_DOCUMENTINFO_TYPE_OBJECT_INSERT message. Then you can act accordingly. :)

(*) You pointed to the C++ docs, but tagged your post with python.

Sorry to see you go as well.
You were a great and helpful guy!
Hope, to see you around here from time to time though.

All the best for you and your future plans!

I would guess that TreeView items are arbitrary nodes and only top level nodes are managed (and even then - only if they are already of the right type like GeListNode)
So you have to take care about any node items, because they simply do not belong directly to the treeview and thus cannot be managed.

If you write custom list classes, you have to do the selection management manually anyway. :)

Cheers.

You might have to use ForceGetLink()
See the description in the docs. That may reflect what you are trying to do.

You can. Override AskClose() and do your stuff. :) Remember to return True to let it stay open - not False as in your current code.
Finally Close the Dialog via return False.

Ah sorry, forgot to mention, that you have to call the Dialog via DLG_TYPE_ASYNC_POPUPEDIT or DLG_TYPE_ASYNC_POPUP_RESIZEABLE, not DLG_TYPE_ASYNC.
