hi there,
i'm working on a command plugin with gedialog, that i want to dock in the layout.
one of the gui elements is AddCustomGui c4d.CUSTOMGUI_FILENAME.
the paths that are stored can be quite long.
the problem is, that the dialog wants to show the complete string, which makes the dialog extremely wide.
this only happens when the dialog is docked. then i can not scale the dialog smaller then the length of the string/filename.
if the dialog is not docked i can scale it smaller and the overflowing string is hidden.
sadly AddCustomGui has no properties initw and inith. i tried some combinations of flags but had no success.
am i missing something?
i could place the element in a scrollgroup, but then the "open document" button might be hidden in the part that is scrolled away.
any other options or workarouds?
cheers, sebastian
here is the code
