Hello @chuanzhen,
Thank you for reaching out to us. While I understand your question, it is slightly ambiguous, as you do not tell us how and where this file name custom GUI is being created. It could be a dialog or a description, and you could use a resource file or the
GeDialog
methods to create it.A
FilenameCustomGui
has multiple flags which change its behavior, one of which is FILENAME_DIRECTORY. The '...' button will then open a directory selection dialog instead of a file selection dialog. If you want some sort of conditional operation ("select files by default, but if a directory is empty, allow the selection of such directory"), this is unfortunately not possible. You can only select files or directories, not both based on a custom condition.When you have defined your GUI in a resource file, you must add the
DIRECTORY
flag to the element, here is an example from a Team Render resource.LONG PREF_ASSETCHUNKSIZE { ANIM OFF; MIN 2; MAX 256;} SEPARATOR PREF_SEP_PATHS { } FILENAME PREF_SERVICEREPOSITORYPATH { DIRECTORY; } } }
When you add the gadget manually in a
CreateLayout
, you must set thebool
c4d.FILENAME_DIRECTORY
toTrue
in thecustomdata
container passed toGeDialog.AddCustomGui
.Cheers,
