Hello there,

I am trying to get a grip on GUI interfaces within Python for C4D.
Unfortunately just now learning python (and coding) so I still am not able to understand the SDK in a way that I can code right away.

Is there a example somwhere over making a simple GeDialog with lets say one input value? so that I understand the structure that is nessesary?

thanks a lot

Hi Jops,

here is a small example for you. I hope this helps:

import c4d
from c4d import gui
#Welcome to the world of Python
  
GROUP_ID1=1000
TEXTBOX=1001
BUTTON1=1002
BUTTON2=1003
  
class ExampleDlg(gui.GeDialog) :
    
    def CreateLayout(self) :
        #creat the layout of the dialog
        self.GroupBegin(GROUP_ID1, c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT, 3, 1)
        self.AddEditText(TEXTBOX, c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT)
        self.AddButton(BUTTON1, c4d.BFH_SCALE, name="MessadeDialog")
        self.AddButton(BUTTON2, c4d.BFH_SCALE, name="Close")
        self.GroupEnd()
        return True
  
    def InitValues(self) :
        #initiate the gadgets with values
        self.SetString(TEXTBOX, "Hello World!")
        return True
  
    def Command(self, id, msg) :
        #handle user input
        if id==BUTTON1:
            gui.MessageDialog(self.GetString(TEXTBOX))
        elif id==BUTTON2:
            self.Close()
        return True
  
  
dlg = ExampleDlg()
dlg.Open(c4d.DLG_TYPE_MODAL, defaultw=300, defaulth=50)

Cheers, Sebastian

if you have time you might answer me one more question:

if I define the dialog as a async dialog it just pops up and closes again. even if I put it into the mail loop.

Is there a trick or is there more to it?

thanks again
Jops

Asynchronous dialogs can just be used in plugins (in combination with CommandData).

The buttons aren't working for me. Nothing happens when I click on them.

Hi,

welcome to the Plugin Café forums

I think, you'd need to post a bit more of your code, the Command() function doesn't look wrong to me.

We have a few examples making use of GeDialog in our GitHub repository.
The simplest, basically with two buttons in a GeDialog (just like the example above) is Py-TextureBaker.pyp.
