Get and Set any parameter with Tag

gheyret

Hi, everyone!

I'm looking for a way to get and set parameters from anywhere by dragging and dropping, just like GSG's Signal tag plugin does.

I checked a lot of forum posts and saw that python doesn't support to do that.
I came up with GeUserArea, but GeUserArea can only be used in GeDialog.
I also wondered if I could use CustomDataType to create a drag-and-drop operation that accepts parameters, but it doesn't seem possible to create CustomDataType in python.

I don't know if there's another or similar way to do that.

Hi @gheyret,

For such complex drag-n-drop scenarios you're welcome to use our C++ SDK (check the DragAndDrop class), as Python SDK is usually pretty limiting for the drag-n-drop use cases.

You could potentially try to work around this using MultilineEditText, which parses the attributes that were dragged onto it, but I'm afraid this is not what you're looking for after all.

Cheers,
Ilia

Hi @i_mazlov
I can't use C++ at the moment, so I thought I'd try MultilineEditText for my purposes.
I looked for This post in the forum and now I have some ideas.
Thank you for your reply!

Cheers~
