@s_bach Hello Sebastian!

The main issue is when I implement command and custom member function into the whole script how you suggest in to previously reply, nothing happening and the script wouldn't work.Or when I just copy your code example in to script manager nothing happening,I am using R17 if that can maybe be one of the reasons why script not work?

class TestDialog(gui.GeDialog):

def CreateLayout(self):

    self.AddComboBox(5000, c4d.BFH_LEFT, 100, 10, False)
    self.AddChild(5000, 0, "Child 0")
    self.AddChild(5000, 1, "Child 1")
    self.AddChild(5000, 2, "Child 2")

    return True

def Command(self, id, msg):

    # print currently selected "child""
    if id == 5000:
        value = self.GetInt32(5000)
        print("got value: " + str(value))


    return c4d.gui.GeDialog.Command(self, id, msg) 

# custom function
def GetSelectedChild(self):
    return self.GetInt32(5000)

def main():
dialog = TestDialog()

dialog.Open(c4d.DLG_TYPE_MODAL_RESIZEABLE, 132456, -1 ,-1 ,400 ,400)

value = dialog.GetSelectedChild()

op.SetName(str(value))
c4d.EventAdd()

Thank you for reply!

Hi Sebastian! Thanks a lot for your reply!!!

and for clarifying me about posting and categories

I couldn't figure out at the end to add command and that all complete script works by example that you send me here.

Maybe I wasn't clear enough of what I trying to do and to get as the final result.

My goal is that I make preset with names e.g child 0-or final name "Bath" and when I run script and chose from dropping menu of combo box e.g name "Bath" or some other next selection child 2 or final name "Patio" by selection from item with ready name "Patio" script and code automatically rename new spline based on selection from combobox eg I draw new Spline> and when I select from combo box child's selection Patio command will automatically rename spline to Patio,if is that possible? Plugin cafe is simply awesome,and I am happy so happy to discover it.
Thanks a lot for your reply!

Best Wishes

Hi everyone,

I am new with python scripting so I stuck with this and sorry for my question

I trying to make a script -later plugin also that will rename automatically e.g.spline by selection from combo box menu with new selected name
is there a way to add children -6+ options to combo box and send rename command based on a selection from combo box? Here is what I mean and a sample .I find 2 ways for this but I would like to have combobox selection and dropping menu

Here are 2 examples that I make:

Example 1:

import c4d
from c4d import gui

#Dialog settings
class MyDialogs(gui.GeDialog):
# Dialog layout settings
def CreateLayout(self):
self.SetTitle('Spline Renamer 1.1')
#Setting widget etc.
self.GroupBegin(10000, c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT, 1, title = 'Select New Spline Name')
self.GroupBorder(c4d.BORDER_GROUP_IN)
self.GroupBorderSpace(20, 5, 20, 5)

    #Drop menu
    self.AddComboBox(1000, c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT, 80, 0, False)
    self.AddChild(1000, 0, 'B1')
    self.AddChild(1000, 1, 'B2')
    self.AddChild(1000, 2, 'B3')
    self.AddChild(1000, 3, 'B4')
    self.AddChild(1000, 4, 'Main')
    self.AddChild(1000, 5, 'Outer')
    self.AddChild(1000, 6, 'Patio')
    self.AddChild(1000, 7, 'Bath 1')
    self.AddChild(1000, 8, 'Bath 2')
    self.AddChild(1000, 9, 'Bath 3')
    self.AddChild(1000, 10, 'WIC')
    self.AddSeparatorV(11)
    self.AddDlgGroup(c4d.DLG_OK|c4d.DLG_CANCEL)
    return True

def main():
dlg = MyDialogs()
dlg.Open(c4d.DLG_TYPE_MODAL)

if name=='main':
main()
c4d.EventAdd()

if name=='main':
main()

This Example 2 works but I dont have combobox or droping menu:

import c4d
from c4d import gui

def main():
objs = doc.GetActiveObjects(1)
if len(objs) == 0:return

newName = gui.InputDialog("New Name","B1")
if newName == "":return

num = gui.InputDialog("Are you sure?","B1")
if num == "":return

doc.StartUndo()
for obj in objs:
    doc.AddUndo(c4d.UNDOTYPE_CHANGE,obj)
    obj.SetName(newName +" ")
  
GeDialog.SetPopup("B 12 ", " B 22")
doc.EndUndo()
c4d.EventAdd()

Thanks you so much for any of your help and for your time,

have a great day!
