Dear Python Experts.

I´ve made a plugin which execute the GUI ShowPopUpDialog and populate it with all layer names in the current document. When a names is pressed, the selected objects are added to that layer.

This works perfect, but i would like to get the layer color indicator into the popup aswell.

Is this even possible with the gui.showpopupdialog or do i need to go the GeDialog way?

If i have to go the GeDialog way, can someone push me in the right direction to start of such a custom gui?

Looking forward to hear from you !

Best Regards

Hello,

you can use an icon in the popup menu. Using "& i....&" you can define an icon id that is used for that element:

  
menu.SetString(c4d.FIRST_POPUP_ID+99,"&i5119&Something")

So you could create preview icons and register them using RegisterIcon()[URL-REMOVED]. But I'm not sure if this is a good workflow.

If you want to draw something in a GeDialog you may use a GeUserArea[URL-REMOVED]. There you can draw whatever you want. You find some code that shows how to use that class in the Py-MemoryViewer.pyp[URL-REMOVED] example.

But is it possible to colorize the icons?

Hello,

when you call RegisterIcon() you register a bitmap. You can fill this bitmap any way you like.

I like to extend the question

I try the code of

menu.SetString(19, '&d&i5119& '+group.GetName());
    menu.SetString(0, "" )
    menu.SetString(31, 'select')

- but I can`t get a disable menu item and a icon

and all following menu item have the same icon

Hello,

to disable a menu element simply add "&d&"[URL-REMOVED]:

  
menu.SetString(c4d.FIRST_POPUP_ID+100,"&i5150&Something Else &d&")

Hi Sebastian

I´m having trouble finding the right code-snippet for filling a bitmap in python.
So far i managed i attach my custom icon to every entry in my popup dialog, but after looking thru the bitmap class, i can´t seem to find anything useful.

Hello,

you can set the data of a bitmap using BaseBitmap.SetPixel()[URL-REMOVED]. An example can be found in SculptSaveMask.pyp[URL-REMOVED].

A little more comfortable way of filling a bitmap would be to use the GeClipMap[URL-REMOVED] class.

  
geClipMap = c4d.bitmaps.GeClipMap()  
geClipMap.Init(800,600,32)  
  
geClipMap.BeginDraw()  
  
geClipMap.SetColor(255,0,0)  
geClipMap.FillRect(0,0,800,600)  
  
geClipMap.EndDraw()  
  
bitmap = geClipMap.GetBitmap()  
  
filename = c4d.storage.SaveDialog(title="Save image")  
bitmap.Save(filename,c4d.FILTER_TIF)
