Hello,

I like to show an icon in the Python Dialog. So far I thought it would be simple, but somehow I'm stuck right at the beginning.

First off I get the icon properties:

icon = gui.GetIcon(c4d.RESOURCEIMAGE_MOVE)  
bmp = icon["bmp"]  
x, y = icon["x"], icon["y"]

then I thought I could simply draw it, but I need a GeUserArea for that, right? Does that still function if I create the layout with AddStaticText?

For instance, I've got a simple dialog box with the selected object including the icon written in that dialog box: "Selected Object: [Icon] Cube"

How does one do that?

Hello,

there is no simple GUI element that just displays images. One way to display a bitmap is to use a GeUserArea [URL-REMOVED]and then draw the Bitmap using DrawBitmap()[URL-REMOVED]. A example on how to use the GeUserArea can be found in the Py-MemoryViewer.pyp[URL-REMOVED] example.

Another way to display images is to use a BitmapButtonCustomGui[URL-REMOVED]. Using this option allows you to directly use the icon data delivered by GetIcon()[URL-REMOVED].

What do you mean with "create the layout with AddStaticText"? You create layouts using groups with GroupBegin()[URL-REMOVED] and GroupEnd()[URL-REMOVED]. There you can define the number of columns.

For what you want you could also use a default LinkBoxGui[URL-REMOVED] element. Such a link box displays the linked object with it's icon.

Best wishes,
Sebastian
