Hello Sebastian,
I now understand what the difference is, thank you very much!
With the customdata_customgui example file I actually made both a GUI and a custom DataType. So I only needed to change my resource file and modifiy my data code a bit!

Best Regards,
Florian

oh... yeah that is true.

I edited the customdata_customgui example to fit my needs. (mainly only the drawing).
So I guess I would have to change my customdata to a REAL customgui?

Hello Sebastian,
basically I have something like this

[...]
MY_CUSTOMGUI CUSTOMGUIPARAM { }
[...]

that is what I use.

Hello Maxime,
thanks for you answer!
I actually have my custom gui not in a GeDialog but inside a res file of an ObjectData. How would I be able to access the customgui from there?

Best Regards,
Florian

Hello Maxime,
thanks for your answer!

Its too bad that I can't do it without some hacky way, but thanks for your code snipped and example.

I'll mark this thread as solved, so thanks!

Best Regards,
Florian

Hello plugincafe!
I have recently created a customgui using the example customgui plugin. The only major thing that I changed, appart from drawing, is that I save a single float value.
I now need to implement this custom gui into a python plugin but I can't seem to find out how to retrieve my saved data from the gui element.

Do I need to completely switch to a c++ plugin to do this, or is there a way in python.

Kind Regards,
Florian

Hello Sebastian,
sorry, for not using the QA System, will do in the future!

This was exactly what I needed. I have never changed my GUI outside the res file and it felt kinda confusing to me what exactly I have to do after reading the doc.

Thanks for your awnser!

Best Regards,

Hello,
thanks m_adam and zipit for your replies.
I am working in an ObjectData Plugin.
I am loading a mesh into my ObjectData (in Init) and need to add modifiers/subdivision in GetVirtualObjects.
After Zipits answer I noticed why it didn't work properly and that is that I added the tag to my ObjectData instead of the loaded mesh, the reason for that is that I would need the user to see the vertexmap but I can't expose the mesh.

I have now changed it so the vertexmap is created on my internal mesh, and that scales just fine when subdividing, so in that regard my problem is solved.

But I don't know if I am now able to expose the tag, and only the tag, somehow to the user.
My Plugin uses the vertexmap internally and I want the user to be able to use it for materials etc.

Is there any way?
Thanks for your help so far!
Best Regards,
Florian

Hello PluginCafe,
I wanted toknow whether it is possible to show/hide tabs in the GUI (like the Fields tab in the VertexMap) if the Tabs / Groups have been defined in the resource file. Or do I have to add/remove them dynamically through description handling?

Best Regards,
Florian

Hello PluginCafe,

I wanted to know whether it is possible to change the data count of a vertex map dynamically without always killing the tag and recreating it? I have a mesh that gets subdivided dynamically and I need the vertex map to always fit the mesh vertex count but I can't have the user to always re-link the vertex map on every change.

Best Regards,
Florian
