galagast Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 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: 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. 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. 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).

Stalkerx777 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Wrapp this operator in HDA, make the UI you'll be happy with, and link the parameters to the node inside 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
