"non-editable" GUI Fields

[Guest xionmark]

Hi,

I was wondering how one would declare a field in the GUI tamplate to create a "non-editable" field to be used for informational feedbak only, not to edited by the user.

In this example:

only the first 4 parameters are available for the user to edit, the other fields provide feedback to the user of what type of terrain file has been read. I'd like it to be a cleaner look, without the controls and just have the vaules painted into the GUI.

Right now the fields are defined like:

    // Terrain scale (vector), height scale, base height
    PRM_Template(PRM_XYZ, 3, &names[7]),
    PRM_Template(PRM_INT, 1, &names[8]),
    PRM_Template(PRM_INT, 1, &names[9]),
    // Radius & crvm
    PRM_Template(PRM_FLT, 1, &names[10]),
    PRM_Template(PRM_INT, 1, &names[11]),

What PRM_Type should I use?

Thanks!

Try PRM_LABEL. It's intrinsic type is a string.

Anyone knows how to dynamicaly change the string in a button calback ?

 

i figured out how to dynamicaly change Integers and floats on PRM_INT or PRM_FLT Parms

with function :

 me->setInt("intParm",intValue);

or

me->setFloat("floatParm",floatValue);

 

but could not find on PRM_LABEL

i obviously tried setString()... but seems to be used for a different purpose 

 

 

 

please find below my caalbaclk on PRM_CALLBACK

int SOP_CircleLineAnimator::UICheckFile(void *data, int index, float t, const PRM_Template *)
{

    SOP_CircleLineAnimator *me;
    me = (SOP_CircleLineAnimator *)data;

    me->setInt("txt", 12);
    me->forceRecook();

    return 0;
}
