Hello all,
i have a question on gedialog, actualli i have a ge dialog plugin opened with DLG_TYPE_ASYNC and all work fine, but i'dd like my manager appear like the powerslider tool bar (without manubar).
then i have a another question on the same issue... i'dd like to include in my dialog some bitmap buttons like tool buttons but i can't figure out to get the same graphics as cinema 4d standard toolbar buttons.

thanks in advance
Franz

What language ? I assume its Python.

1. Do you mean self.AddGadget(c4d.DLG_NOMENUBAR) ? (the constant may be called different)

2. Use UserAreas

For various reasons powerslider style dialogs are not recommended for plugins.

Hiding the menu bar requires some internal tricks which are not suitable for plugins.

Is there really no equivalent to DLG_NOMENUBAR in the C++ SDK? If not are those internal tricks somehow applicable for us?
I am trying to create a non-modal dialog for an about-box which should neither be resizable nor have a menu bar.

Hi Satara,

have you tried to add

AddGadget(DLG_NOMENUBAR);

in the constructor of your dialog? This is at least the way it works in Python, didn't yet need to
use it in C++. This call does not work in CreateLayout().

Best,

Unfortunately DLG_NOMENUBAR is not defined in C++ $:\$
Also I couldn't find AddGadget in the documents. What's that function supposed to do? It also seems not to be available in the SDK.

Hi Satara,

I see, I was wrong back then and reused it in my current answer. The correct name of the constant
is DIALOG_NOMENUBAR. Is it still undefined?

There is not documentation for the AddGadget method, but it sure is there. As far as I can tell, this
is called internally from the AddEditText() (and etc.) methods. But it's just a wild guess.

Best,
-Niklas

Do you have a working example of that working in Python Niklas?
The reason I ask is because I've got a couple of old Python example that uses that kind of code. But they don't remove the menu bar in R13.

I'm wondering if Maxon has changed the SDK so this code no longer works anymore?

Hi Scott,

my QuickDocs plugin uses it, the Py-MemoryViewer example in the SDK documentation uses it. Or
try this:

  
import os
import c4d
  
class Dialog(c4d.gui.GeDialog) :
  
    def __init__(self) :
        super(Dialog, self).__init__()
        self.AddGadget(c4d.DIALOG_NOMENUBAR, 0)
  
    def CreateLayout(self) :
        self.AddStaticText(0, 0, name="Hello!")
        return True
  
def main() :
    dlg = Dialog()
  
    # Do NOT !! do this in production. Seriously. Just don't.
    os._crazy_dialog_identifier_saved_in_os_so_it_persists_  = dlg
    # Again, DON'T DO IT! You've never seen this line, did you? NO? Great.
  
    dlg.Open(c4d.DLG_TYPE_ASYNC)
  
main()

Thanks.
I think I'm mixing up the terms.
I think I confused the "title bar" with the "menu bar".

I have this old C++ code that someone posted long ago that's supposed to remove the menu bar:

//The constructor  
MyDialog::MyDialog(void)  
{  
  C4DOS.Cd->AddGadget(Get(),DIALOG_NOMENUBAR,0,NULL,0,0,0,0,NULL,NULL);   //Removes the menu bar  
}

Not sure if that helps or not.
