Well, nearly any button 

Just to know how it works.

But let's take the mark missing textures button for example.
The DescID is IDC_TEXTURE_CHECKALLTEX.

Do you know a way to access it ?

I also tryed to implement the functions of the Button into my Layout via MenuAddCommand, but without any success.

import c4d, os
from c4d import *
from c4d import storage
from c4d.gui import GeDialog

BTN_VRAY = {"id": 1028, "name": "CHK_Alle ersetzen", "width": 8, "height": 8}
BTN_Test = {"id": 1029, "name": "Texturpfad ersetzen", "width": 150, "height": 25}
TXT_VRAY = {"id": 1030, "name": "Alle ersetzen", "width": 100, "height": 10, "borderstyle": BORDER_NONE}

class MyDialog(GeDialog) :
  def CreateLayout(self) :
      self.SetTitle("MyDialog")

self.AddButton(id = BTN_Test["id"],
                          flags=BFH_RIGHT,
                          initw=BTN_Test["width"],
                          inith=BTN_Test["height"],
                          name=BTN_Test["name"])
      if self.MenuAddCommand (c4d.IDM_CM_CLOSEWINDOW) == True:
              print "Done"

return True

def Command(self,id,msg) :
      if id==BTN_Test["id"]:
          MenuAddCommand (c4d.IDM_CM_CLOSEWINDOW) == True

return True

dialog = MyDialog()
dialog.Open(dlgtype=DLG_TYPE_MODAL_RESIZEABLE)

CallCommand just accepts BaseList2D objects, dialogs are not accessible. Which button in which dialog do you want to press?

So Do I

As an update, after 2 days trial n error combined with intensive googling there seems to be no way to access those dialogues, or at least if someone found it out he does not reveal the way.

I'm not sure how to access the manager dialogues but if I think of anything I work it out, I'll be sure to post.

You are so right, blame it on me

maybe you have an idea to access the buttons in the dialogues as well ?

Thanks for sharing your knowledge

These IDs are integers, like when you write:

obj = c4d.BaseObject(c4d.Ocube)

the c4d.Ocube part is the same as integer 5159, so the code means the same as this :

obj = c4d.BaseObject(5159)

The IDs are just to make your code more readable and in case you don't know the number.

You can find out the number like this :

id = obj.GetType()
print id

Alright, thanks for that.

I'll give it a try, although I do not think it will work because according to the documentation an integer is required.

But heja the proof of the pudding is in the heating.

edit:

import c4d
from c4d import *

obj = doc.GetFirstObject()

def button_simulate(obj) :
 c4d.CallButton(obj,c4d.SELECTIONOBJECT_RESTORE)
 c4d.EventAdd()

button_simulate(obj)

I found the DescID via searching in the c4d_stings.str

Gr8 that's already one step forward

so far, so good and now there is the big but:
is there any chance to load dialogues instead of objects to perform a CallButton ?

Because I'm still interested in the texturemanagertab in the infomanager.
Especially accessing the list of textures

Check out c4d.CallButton() in the main module. I think you have to add c4d. before the button name id. You also supply the object the button is on, like :

c4d.CallButton(obj, c4d.IDP_TEXTURE_SAVE)
