Hi,
I´m writing a res based Dialog Plugin and I want to change the layout by the users choice of a combobox.
It´s no problem to accomplish this inside my python file with a script based Dialog, but I want to know, how to do it with a resource file or if it´s even possible.It seems to me that I can´t set HIDDEN flags in a dialog plugin, as it´s not possible to set up CYCLE´s and several other gui elements.
Could anyone give me a hint or at least call the gui elements we can´t use in a dialog plugin?
Thanks in advance

Hello,
you can hide an element defined in a resource. Make sure to assign a number to this element in the c4d_symbols.h file. Then catch your events in the
Command
[URL-REMOVED] function. To hide an element simply call "HideElement()". After that make sure Cinema redraws the dialog group that contains the element by callingLayoutChanged
[URL-REMOVED]:self.HideElement(3000,True) self.LayoutChanged(1000)
You find a documentation of all elements available in a dialog here:
Dialog Resource
[URL-REMOVED]
Additional information on how to use dialog resources can be found here:
Dialog Layout
[URL-REMOVED]Introduction into the GUI of CINEMA 4D
[URL-REMOVED]
Instead of using a LONG parameter with a CYCLE you must use a COMBOBOX. Let me know if that helps you.
Best wishes,
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,
this is exactly, I was looking for. Thank you!
It was a bit fiddly to show and hide with three colums and keep the look of the dialog
and special, that even a separator needs an id.
Anyway, I solved it.One last thing I could not solve:
If I want a separator to separate three colums at once with no gaps.
I tried this one but no luck:SEPARATOR DUMMY3 {SCALE_H;} STATICTEXT DUMMY4 { NAME DUMMY4; JOINENDSCALE; } STATICTEXT DUMMY5 { NAME DUMMY5; JOINENDSCALE; }
I´ll be glad if you could help me again!
Best wishes

Hello,
I think it's not possible to create a separator across the columns of a group within that group. The only way may be to use two groups:
GROUP { COLUMNS 3; } SEPARATOR {SCALE_H;} GROUP { COLUMNS 3; }
