Create a dynamic dialog

[[Mi...]]

Hello all ,

 Is it possible to create a dynamic dialog? The number of widgets (columns and rows) depends on the user (project)?

Defined by "gom.script.sys.create_user_defined_dialog" only allows to enter a specific number of items, eg checkbox.

Is it possible to edit the dialog window content after its definition (adding more widgets, editing the number of columns and rows) - change the dialog box format?

It's possible.

For general information about dialog handling (dynamic and static) please have a look at: https://connect.gom.com/x/DZ-VAg

You must define the dialog with parameter "Extendable break dialog" to enable dynamic behavior by the dialog-event-handler.

This code just shows a simple example for reference:

import gom

DIALOG=gom.script.sys.create_user_defined_dialog (content='<dialog>' \
' <title>Test Dialog</title>' \
' <style></style>' \
' <control id="OkCancel"/>' \
' <position></position>' \
' <embedding></embedding>' \
' <sizemode></sizemode>' \
' <size width="198" height="191"/>' \
' <content columns="1" rows="4">' \
'  <widget columnspan="1" type="input::checkbox" rowspan="1" row="0" column="0">' \
'   <name>checkbox1</name>' \
'   <tooltip></tooltip>' \
'   <value>true</value>' \
'   <title>Checkbox 1</title>' \
'  </widget>' \
'  <widget columnspan="1" type="input::checkbox" rowspan="1" row="1" column="0">' \
'   <name>checkbox2</name>' \
'   <tooltip></tooltip>' \
'   <value>true</value>' \
'   <title>Checkbox 2</title>' \
'  </widget>' \
'  <widget columnspan="1" type="label" rowspan="1" row="2" column="0">' \
'   <name>text1</name>' \
'   <tooltip></tooltip>' \
'   <text>Text 1</text>' \
'   <word_wrap>false</word_wrap>' \
'  </widget>' \
'  <widget columnspan="1" type="input::string" rowspan="1" row="3" column="0">' \
'   <name>text2</name>' \
'   <tooltip></tooltip>' \
'   <value>Text 2</value>' \
'   <read_only>false</read_only>' \
'   <password>false</password>' \
'  </widget>' \
' </content>' \
'</dialog>')

#
# Event handler function called if anything happens inside of the dialog
#
def dialog_event_handler (widget):
	DIALOG.text1.visible = DIALOG.checkbox1.value
	DIALOG.text2.enabled = DIALOG.checkbox2.value

DIALOG.handler = dialog_event_handler

RESULT=gom.script.sys.show_user_defined_dialog (dialog=DIALOG)

Hi everyone,

I need some help with a script I'm working on in GOM Inspect. I'm trying to let the user select an STL file via a custom dialog box, and then import that file into the project. The file path seems to be correctly selected, but the file is not imported, and I keep getting the message: "Dialog canceled or no file selected.".

If anyone could point out what I'm doing wrong or missing, that would be much appreciated!

Here is the code:

# 2. Display the user-defined dialog

DIALOG = gom.script.sys.create_user_defined_dialog(dialog={
    "content": [
        [
            {
                "columns": 1,
                "name": "label",
                "rows": 1,
                "text": {
                    "id": "",
                    "text": "Add the STL file before cutting the HMU BLOCK",
                    "translatable": True
                },
                "tooltip": {
                    "id": "",
                    "text": "",
                    "translatable": True
                },
                "type": "label",
                "word_wrap": False
            }
        ],
        [
            {
                "columns": 1,
                "default": "",
                "file_types": [
                    {
                        "description": "All files",
                        "name": "*.stl*"
                    }
                ],
                "file_types_default": "*.stl*",
                "limited": True,
                "name": "file",
                "rows": 1,
                "selection_type": "file",
                "title": {
                    "id": "",
                    "text": "Choose a file",
                    "translatable": True
                },
                "tooltip": {
                    "id": "",
                    "text": "",
                    "translatable": True
                },
                "type": "input::file"
            }
        ]
    ],
    "control": {
        "id": "OkCancel"
    },
    "embedding": "",
    "position": "",
    "size": {
        "height": 163,
        "width": 375
    },
    "sizemode": "",
    "style": "",
    "title": {
        "id": "",
        "text": "Dialog title",
        "translatable": True
    }
})

# Event handler function (currently unused)

def dialog_event_handler(widget):
    pass

DIALOG.handler = dialog_event_handler

RESULT = gom.script.sys.show_user_defined_dialog(dialog=DIALOG)

print("Dialog result:", RESULT)

# 4. Retrieve the 'file' field value
if RESULT == 'ok':
    stl_nominal_path = RESULT.result['file'].value

    # 5. Import the selected STL file
    gom.script.sys.import_stl(
        bgr_coding=True,
        body_split='no_color',
        files=[stl_nominal_path],
        geometry_based_refining=False,
        import_mode='clipboard',
        length_unit='mm',
        stl_color_bit_set=False,
        target_type='cad_body'
    )
else:
    print("Dialog canceled or no file selected.")

Thanks in advance for your help! Let me know if I need to share more of the code.

try changing to check if name is blank or not selected, your print of RESULT shows it never returns OK

print("Dialog result:", RESULT)

# 4. Retrieve the 'file' field value

if RESULT.file != '':

 

Also change to stl_nominal_path = RESULT.file
