SystemError: error return without exception set

I keep getting "SystemError: error return without exception set" when I try to update the GeDialog

  
def updateJobDetails(self, jobDetails) :  
  
     self.jobDetails = jobDetails  
  
     self.LayoutFlushGroup(2)  
        
      numJobs = int(len(self.jobDetails))  
        
      print "numJobs ", numJobs  
        
      self.GroupBegin(id=4, flags=c4d.BFH_LEFT | c4d.BFV_TOP, title="", rows=1, cols=1, groupflags=c4d.BORDER_GROUP_IN)  
        
      buttonIDCount = 3000  
      buttonIDList = []  
        
      self.AddButton(2000, c4d.BFH_CENTER, 200, 20, "buttonName")  
                
      self.GroupEnd()  
        
      self.LayoutChanged(2)

Is it not something I can do after the dialog window is built?

Yes, you usually can.
Are you using threads? Would be useful to see the full code here.

Yes, i'm using a timer thread.

Although I should probably re-work my code as the c4d gui class has a timer built in...all i'm using it for is checking a directory structure every 5 seconds.

bit strange how a thread can effect the GeDialog, i can make Groups but can't make any C4Dgadgets (buttons/static text/radio buttons etc)

will post the code when i'm back in work

cheers

Good, I can will then take a look at it. Especially the part where the timer-thread notifies the dialog.
You should always modify the dialog when it is called from Cinema 4D, which means in it's own thread, not one you started.

Yeah it was because I had my own thread initiated.

using C4D's GeDialog->Timer does the trick!

thanks for your help!
