[ca...] Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Hello everyone, I want to create a dialog window in which there will be selection list. First, i created some variables and then want user to select the name of one of the created variable in the dialog. Since i did not create an element and only create a variable in workspace, i could not create selection list which feed from names of the created variables. Is there a way to do that through scripting before creating an actual element like plane, point etc.? Many thanks, Canset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[80...] Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Here is a dialog that you can pass a list of items to (and a prompt if desired), and it will have the user to choose one of them. The return value is a string of whichever one was selected. It also divides the items into columns of 20 (if you have more than 20 items) to keep it from becoming too long def selection(prompt='', item_list=[]): if not isinstance(item_list, list): return header = '<dialog>' \ '<title>*</title>' \ '<control id="Empty"/>' \ '<position>center</position>' \ '<sizemode>fixed</sizemode>' \ '<size width="200" height="100"/>' \ '<content rows="{}" columns="{}">' \ '<widget row="0" column="0" type="label">' \ '<name>prompt</name>' \ '<text>{}</text>' \ '</widget>' button = '<widget column="{}" row="{}" type="button::pushbutton">' \ '<name>{}</name>' \ '<text>{}</text>' \ '<type>toggle</type>' \ '<focus>True</focus>' \ '</widget>' def build_dialog(): num_columns = int(len(item_list) / 20) + 1 dialog = header.format(len(item_list) + 1, num_columns, prompt) index = 0 for i in range(1, len(item_list) + 1): if i <= 20: row = i column = index if i == 20: index += 1 else: row = abs(index * 20 - i) column = index if i % 20 == 0: index += 1 dialog += button.format(column, row, i, item_list[i - 1]) return dialog + '</content></dialog>' def dialog_event_handler(widget): global selected if isinstance(widget, gom.Widget): selected = widget.text gom.script.sys.close_user_defined_dialog(dialog=dialog) dialog = gom.script.sys.create_user_defined_dialog(content=build_dialog()) dialog.handler = dialog_event_handler gom.script.sys.show_user_defined_dialog(dialog=dialog) return selected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[ca...] Posted August 3, 2022 Author Share Posted August 3, 2022 Hi Robert, Many thanks for the quick response. I implemented the code into my program and it works fine for me. Thanks, Canset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Mi...] Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 (edited) Hi. I came across this post today. I was able to get the script above working and even changed so that it creates 'selection list' elements instead of 'button' elements, however my goal is to take that same list and populate it into just one selection list box, like so: I just can't figure out how I can manipulate the 'selection list' element. Is this possible? Edited September 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Mi...] Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 (edited) Well, nevermind. This is so much easier than I was making it out to be. 🤦♂️ listofthings = ['abc', 2.1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9] ...Dialog creation goes here... selectedValue = DIALOG.selectionListWidget selectedValue.items = listofthings selectedValue.default = "4" That's all it takes.
