Hi,

I'm quite new to python for c4d, so it might be newbie question.

Does anyone know how to organize elements so that they are arragend next to each other instead of top/down?

this is my current class

class MainMenu(gui.GeDialog) :
    def CreateLayout(self) :
        
        
        template_fn = next(os.walk(path))[2]
        template_filecnt = len(template_fn)
        #print template_fn
        #print template_filecnt
        
        bc = c4d.BaseContainer()    #Create a new container to store the button image                    
        buttid = 1000               #start id for 1000
        i=0                         #set iterator
        
        for list in template_fn: 
            
            #create buttons                              
            template_path = os.path.normpath(os.path.join(dir,'res/templates/',template_fn[i]))   #The path to the image  
            bc.SetFilename(buttid, template_path)                                  #Add this location info to the conatiner
            self.myBitButton=self.AddCustomGui(buttid, c4d.CUSTOMGUI_BITMAPBUTTON, "Bitmap Button", c4d.BFH_CENTER, 30, 30, bc)
            self.myBitButton.SetImage(template_path, False)                                  #Add the image to the button 
                                
            #button id counter, gives every button unique id, i = loop counter for iteration through list
            buttid+=1
            i+=1
        
        
            
        return True
    
    def Command(self, id, msg=None) :
        print id
        return True

I suggest you to read https://developers.maxon.net/docs/cpp/2023_2/page_manual_gedialog.html you gonna learn alot about dialog inside c4d.

According your ask take basicly you have to make a group to arrange them.

So it's looks like this

import c4d
  
class MainMenu(c4d.gui.GeDialog) :
    def CreateLayout(self) :
        count = 10
        id_group = 10001
        base_id_text = 10002
        
        #important to set columns number
        if self.GroupBegin(id_group, c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT | c4d.BFV_SCALEFIT, cols=count) :
        
            #Add content to our group
            for i in xrange(count) :
                self.AddStaticText(base_id_text + i, c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT, name="text_{}".format(str(i)))
  
        self.GroupEnd()
        
        return True
        
  
def main() :
    win = MainMenu()
    win.Open(c4d.DLG_TYPE_MODAL_RESIZEABLE)
  
if __name__=='__main__':
    main()

Thanks, it works like a charm!

and thanks for the cpp manual link it gives lots more info then the python one.
