Cinema4D GeDialog Not Updating.
-
Dear Developers,
So I have this Class for a dynamic settings and help interface which works fine see code below. Here are the list of what is not included
Emm Code works for all versions from R21 - S25 Tested
- I have a .ini file which I read from with a fuction called loadSettings()
- A replace() fuction which I use to save setting's back to the .ini file
- a Fuction Called SMsg() which contain' s the message I pass to the replace() for any new message
See how it works in the gif below
it does just that it all works see the code below, After code contains the problem pls scroll down

or worse See gif
The whole thing just Falls Apart I would have pasted the whole code but it's like 2k line plus since it a completion of multiple Things all in one.
Ohh and the .ini File does update only the Gui in cinema4D does not

Hello @eazy5d,
welcome to Plugin Café and the Cinema 4D development community. Thank you for reaching out to us.
We are having some troubles answering your question, since neither your code is executable (I can see that the import statements and the registration calls for your
CommandDataare missing for example) nor is your problem description 'And It's a disaster sometimes I get a SystemError: error return without exception set "Which is Fustrating"' fully clear to me. So, you mean an exception is being raised without a callstack or what does 'SystemError: error return without exception set' mean? Without any line-numbers it is hard to unpack that. Which would make executable code important.So, we would ask you to provide the full content of your '*.pyp' file, so that we can test your plugin ourselves. It would also be good, if you could provide a short description of what actions lead to your problem. I think you did intended to describe that with an image, but the image below 'or worse See gif` seems to be the same as the first one you did post and at least for me does not bear any indication on what is going wrong.
Cheers,

Thanks for your prompt Reply, I was able to debug the whole thing yesterday, I don't know what to do with this post now though.
