Hi Guys!
How can I show a folder with file names in side a AddCombobox , like with the FS SDK for 3ds Max and Bender Plug-in, to add effects to the object, its a drop down list of all the files effects names and it attach to the object on which one you select in the list.

So like what I want is how can i make it find effects Folder in Fsx folder and show them in the AddComboBox list :
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Effects
Then Tag with the model or a null, so I guess I make a Command Plug-in generate a Tag or just make a Tag Plug-in for it.

Example:

So how Can i Get File C4d Find the Folder and AddComboBox read it
self.format_list = self.AddComboBox(Exporter_Button, c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT, 46, 0, False)
self.AddChild(Exporter_Button, thee_Ds, '3D Studio (*.3ds)')
self.AddChild(Exporter_Button, Alembic_abc, 'Alembic (*.abc)')
self.AddChild(Exporter_Button, DAE_1_4, 'COLLADA 1.4 (*.dae)')
self.AddChild(Exporter_Button, Direct_3D, 'Direct 3D (*.x)')
self.AddChild(Exporter_Button, FBX_ALL, 'FBX (*.fbx)')
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------#

Now this is i saw from the Guys how made the Blender Python Plugin code :
if yo want Download to see the whole thing:
http://www.fsdeveloper.com/wiki/index.php?title=Blender2FSX_Toolset_manual

(Reason Why i only post a little of the code cause its a lot and he have it broken up in to multi py files for blender, So its best you Download and take a look at it)

CODE:
import bpy
import xml.etree.ElementTree as etree
from mathutils import Vector
from os import urandom
from winreg import OpenKey, QueryValueEx, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, REG_SZ, REG_EXPAND_SZ
#-----------------------------------------------------------#

Hi Ashton,

I assume you want to do this in a dialog.
Then it is actually pretty simple:
a) Browse the desired directory using standard Python functions. For example os.walk() comes to mind.
b) Use GeDialog.AddChild() to add the filenames to your combobox.

EffectsDir = thisFSPath
global thisEffectsDir = thisFSPath + "effects")

#------------------| Interface CINEMA 4D to FLIGHT SIM! Layout |----------------------------#
class C4DtoFlightSimDialog(c4d.gui.GeDialog) :

def CreateLayout(self) :
self.GroupBegin(20078, c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT | c4d.BFV_BOTTOM, 3, 0, "")
self.AddCheckbox(Selected_1, c4d.BFH_LEFT, 250, 0, "Selected Object Only")
self.SetBool(Selected_1, True)
self.AddStaticText(0, c4d.BFH_LEFT, 90, 0, "FORMAT :")

Hi Ashton, keep the console open when testing your plugin. You will probably find an IOError there. You can't use the standart filesystem functions for accessing the registry. Use the winreg module instead
