Hi, I'm getting started in plugin development for Cinema 4D. I would like to make a plugin similar to commander in C4D, but instead of issuing commands it will select a chosen object. To illustrate the functionality I made this interaction demo in photoshop: https://cloudup.com/cJx3oPIaW-H
So, my question is how would I go about creating GUI like that? I'm not asking for help in implementing this thing, just some general ideas about things like what GUI elements could I use and stuff like that.
I browsed through the python SDK documentation but it's really not that helpful if you're just getting your feet wet.I admit the question is really not specific but as I said the documentation is really hard to comprehend and poorly organized. And I'm a programmer by trade so I'm used to plowing through poor API documentation.
Thanks in advance!

Hello and welcome,
You can create your own GUI by creating dialogs based on the
GeDialog[URL-REMOVED] class. Please take a look at the following resources about creating dialogs:Introduction into the GUI of CINEMA 4D[URL-REMOVED]Dialog Layout[URL-REMOVED]Dialog Resource[URL-REMOVED]
In your case I suggest to create aCommandData[URL-REMOVED] plugin that opens you dialog. You may take a look at theRSS reader example[URL-REMOVED].
best wishes,
Sebastian

Hi I am in the same boat as domlazic, just getting into C4d moving from other software at the studio I am at. Those links no longer work. Are there recourse available or example code out there I can get my head around to understand the GeDialog class a little better? Thank you.

Hi,
the SDK documentations were moved, when we started our new development blog.
Here are the correct links:

Dialog Layout
Dialog Resource
GeDialog
