hello, I'll mark this thread as solved tomorrow if you have nothing to add. Cheers, Manuel

Thanks, Ferdinand! Much appreciated. I always forget about c4dpy and that it can still be run in parallel to a running C4D instance. Thanks.

Aha, thanks.

Hi @affa May I ask you in which context you are? Can you share your code? Did you take a look to the py-custom_icon.pyp plugin example. Cheers, Maxime.

Thank You, How embarrassing I forgot to write back to the UserData. (I shouldn't code late at night) Solved.

@m_adam Thanks, yes, you're right, a timer may be my best choice here to avoid too much load on the system. Checking the project list every 3 seconds or so should suffice for the usecases. And since I'm in a GeDialog, the timer function is easy to implement. (I just have to take care that within the 3 seconds, the state of the dialog may be inconsistent with the actual system state.)

Hi fyeng, thanks for reaching out us. With regard to your question, I confirm that the workflow you're trying to achieve using the python executable found among the Linux CLR modules is not possible since only c4dpy, as you've already seen, has access to all the needed modules. Best, Riccardo

@zipit Thanks for the clarification. Yea, I guess so but just learning as much as I can. Thanks again!

Hi @zipit Apologies for the late response. Your code sample looks interesting. And yep, close to what I was looking for. Stacking columns of clickable images/text I keep looking back at it every now and then but I have to admit, it's beyond me at the moment really beyond me at the moment. Maybe I was just a bit spoiled with other GUI interface such as tkinter or PyQT, where it is relatively easy to implement. Just copy some code and modify some parts. Or maybe there are just more available examples in tkinter and PyQT that fits my need. Will get back to this topic when I have the necessary skillset. Sorry for the trouble and thanks again.

Thanks for the confirmation. I guess I'll use an empty group then and fill in the scrolling group in the code.

OK, thanks!

RE: The only possible solution for you would be to develop your own timeline. Okay. Not going that route. Hahaha. Thanks for the confirmation!

I can only confirm it's not possible in Cinema 4D. The thing that matches the more is the Command Line windows. Cheers, Maxime.

hello, good you found out how to resolve your issue, for you next thread, please mark your thread as a question as follow Q&A New Functionality. Cheers Manuel

hello, ID_TREEVIEW_PLUGIN 1001145 ID_EXPRESSION_PLUGIN 1001148 ID_OPERATORPOOL_PLUGIN 1001138 ID_EXPRESSION_TAG 1001149 last one should be but it's not defined in python. ID_CALCULATE_PLUGIN 400009000 cheers, Manuel

Thank You @m_magalhaes and @zipit Both your suggestions were very helpful. The controller works very well @m_magalhaes I just needed to convert my user data input to BaseTime and it works perfectly. I was able to solve the updating issue to work how I want. I only needed to add: c4d.GeSyncMessage(c4d.EVMSG_TIMECHANGED) Now my timeline markers update nicely as I change values. This topic can be marked solved.

hello, I will passed this thread as solved tomorrow if nothing to add. Cheers, Manuel

Interesting. Thanks for the further clarification!

@m_magalhaes Hey! Added the code you provided and it works nicely, thanks so much! Cheers, Sandi
