There is this wonderful TEXTURE User Data field, which shows a little icon of the file you have selected.
I thought I could use CUSTOMGUI_TEXTURENAME to do the same thing in my CommandPlugin.
However, it is not working. 
c4d.CUSTOMGUI_TEXTURENAME gives the same results as c4d.CUSTOMGUI_FILENAME.
You can select a file, but it does not give you this little icon.

        #self.hdrfile = self.AddCustomGui(MY_HDRFILE, c4d.CUSTOMGUI_FILENAME, "", c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT, 0, 0)
        self.hdrfile = self.AddCustomGui(MY_HDRFILE, c4d.CUSTOMGUI_TEXTURENAME, "", c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT, 0, 0) 

Am I doing something wrong or is it not possible and is there then another way to simulate this User Data TEXTURE field / data type?

Hi,

I can confirm this behavior. If you take a look into ResEdit for instance, you can find a flag which
shows the texture icon:

I though have to say the documentation lacks of this information. You very probably need to set
a specific value in the customdata container you can pass to AddCustomGui(). I'll report back
when I know which.

Ok, thanks.
I'll await the answer.

Hi Niklas,

Any updates on this issue?
It works using the ResEdit, but the little arrow in front is not showing?
Should I use a 'fold' setting to show the arrow and the bitmap?

Hi Pim! Sorry I didn't answer earlier. It is not possible from Python unfortunately. I just answered
to your topic in the C++ SDK Section.

Hi Pim,
you can expand the widget by calling BaseCustomGui::SetLayoutMode(LAYOUTMODE_MAXIMIZED). You can
get the address of the BaseCustomGui from GeDialog::AddCustomGui() or GeDialog::FindCustomGui().

PS: The SetLayoutMode() method is not available in Python.

EDIT: You need to call this after, not in, CreateLayout() (eg. InitValues())

^Using LAYOUTMODE_MAXIMIZED like that in a GeDialog plugin doesn't work Nik.
It creates a second  unwanted copy of the texturename gizmo.

Example:

  
#include "c4d.h"  
#include "c4d_symbols.h"  
#include "customgui_filename.h"  
#include "customgui_texturename.h"  
  
class MyDialog : public GeDialog  
{  
  private:  
      TexturenameCustomGui *myTxtfile;  
  
  public:  
      myDialog(void);  
      ~myDialog(void);  
      virtual void DestroyWindow();  
      virtual Bool CreateLayout(void);  
      virtual Bool InitValues(void);  
      virtual Bool Command(LONG id,const BaseContainer &msg);  
      virtual LONG Message(const BaseContainer &msg,BaseContainer &result);  
      virtual Bool GetDDescription(GeListNode *node, Description *description,DESCFLAGS_DESC &flags);          
};  
  
  
Bool MyDialog::CreateLayout(void)  
{  
  BaseContainer textgui;  
  myTxtfile = (TexturenameCustomGui* )AddCustomGui(1111, CUSTOMGUI_TEXTURENAME, "", BFH_SCALEFIT, 0, 0, textgui);  
  myTxtfile->SetLayoutMode(LAYOUTMODE_MAXIMIZED); //<---Creates an unwanted duplicate gizmo!!! :angry:  
  
  return TRUE;  
}

You need to call this after CreateLayout() is done. InitValues() would be the perfect place for it. I'll
update the other post, too.

That's really weird.
I've never had any problems putting this kind of code in the CreateLayout() method before.
They've always worked fine in either one. And I've probably done it hundreds of times.
I guess this is a rare case where it make a difference.

P.S.  Sorry for posting this in both threads. I meant to post it in the C++ forum. But I posted in the Python forum by mistake.
