      Can GeUserArea only be used in a dialog or can it be added to the attributes manager?

      Thanks,

        I don't think so, but afaik you can subclass a CustomGui, can't you? CustomGui's can be added in both.

        PS: Here ya go, ready for the script-manager, you only have to add some paths to your icons you want to show.

            Lol sorry niklas. I hadn't had a chance to look at them yet. Thank you for giving me the examples. To be honest I didn't even know there was a code example because I had checked it on my phone and the email that was sent to me didn't have an example.   Sorry for the lack of response.   Thanks again.   I do appreciate your assistance.

                  Niklas - the code you posted above, is brilliant, and i have a question:

                  Is it possible to use GeUserArea similar to the above ( ie clickable bitmaps ) but in the ObjectManager properties for a Plugin?

                  I thought itd be quicker to ask before i waste a lot of time trying something out that isnt possible!

                    I might just use the BITMAPBUTTON description element, but would be useful to know..  Plus it avoids registering icon id`s..

                      Not from Python, unfortunately. That would require implementing a CustomGui plugin.

                      PS: Wonder why I was so harsh back then, sorry for that.
