No, I don't think so. However, at some point in the existing examples you will have a dialog, and then you can insert a user area just like you do in a real dialog. Could you tell us a bit more of what you have already and what you want to do?

Greetings:

Right now I have a user area working inside a asyncronous dialog. What I am trying to do is insert this user area into the attribute manager. This is only to manipulate date and not to store it.

Hope you can help.

Thanks

Damon

Here is an example I found of a custom GUI for the string type.
