Hey there!

I need to something pretty simple, but I can't figure out how it's done:
My tag plugin has just two elements in the interface, a button and a text field (STRING). How can I change the content of the text field by code?

In pseudo code:
MyPlugin.MyTextfield = "Hello World!"

Ps: The plugin has to work in R17.

thank you in advance,
simon

Hello and welcome,

the syntax you are using is not correct. You are using the syntax of accessing a member variable of the given object.

A parameter of an object is not a member variable. You can access a parameter using the SetParameter() and GetParameter() methods or the subscription syntax. You find examples for both ways in the Python examples.

• Using GetParameter() / SetParameter()
• Using subscription syntax

best wishes,
Sebastian

Thank you! That was exactly what I needed.

My final code:
node.SetParameter(STR_MY_PARAMETER_ID, "Text to Display", c4d.DESCFLAGS_SET_0)
