Arranging UI


Recommended Posts

I'm not a plug-in developer, but I'm looking into helping out a developer arrange his UI.

Currently, his UI is arranged alphabetically, it is probably because he is reading in properties from an existing program (dynamically generating those in c++).

 

Currently, I can see only 3 options:

  1. Edit Parameter Interface
    I first tried doing it in Houdini using the Edit Parameter Interface and saving it as a preset. I sent him the idx file, but I'm curious if it is indeed useful.
  2. Python: On Created Event Handler
    Next, I'm gonna look into using a python On Created event handler and write code to re-arrange the UI.
  3. C++
    Lastly, I may really have to dive in to C++ and do the UI arranging there myself.

Are there any other options? And is there a recommended one for my situation?

 

I'm asking here because I want to review my options properly before I propose the idea to the developer (the project is a private open-source plug-in, thus I have access to some source files). :)
