I started learning Python about 1 year ago, I'm fimiliar with Pythonsyntax and meanwhile with OOP structures as well.
Now I'm trying to get deeper into Py4d so these are my first steps.

I have a very basic problem:

from c4d import gui

gui.QuestionDialog("Do you think I am a dialog?")
if True:
print ("You are right.\n I am a dialog")

else:
print ("You are wrong.\n I really am a dialog.")

Basicly this works but its buggy.
The documentation says the gui.QuestionDialog() pops up a dialog with a "yes" and "no" button and returns ****True if the user answered Yes, otherwise False.
But in my case I get True either way, at least I get the print from the True value either way. No matter if click "yes" or "no".

Why? ****

Hi kornyclown,

You need to assign the return-value of the function to a variable and test that variable in the
if-clause. Checking for if True: will always succeed because True actually is True.

from c4d import gui  
  
answer = gui.QuestionDialog("Do you think I am a dialog?")  
if answer:  
  print ("You are right.\n I am a dialog")    
else:  
  print ("You are wrong.\n I really am a dialog.")

Ah, ok that makes sense, I didn't consider that True is always True. I was thingking a bit too "human".

Works fine, thanks a lot.
