Choice Menu Parameters

[sibarrick]

Hi

Has anyone got any example code for setting up a choice menu that doesn't use one of the default choices

So I have

PRM_Template(PRM_ORD, 1, &PRMorientName, 0, &PRMplaneMenu),

But how do you define PRMorientName and PRMplaneMenu

I tried a couple of thing but I don't think ny C++ is quite up to this yet.

Hi Simon,

There is an example in the sample SOP_BrushHairLen in the HDK. You basically just have to define an array of PRM_Name objects, one for each choice, and then instantiate a PRM_ChoiceList object, like this:

static PRM_Name         sopOpMenuNames[] = {
    PRM_Name("paint",   "Paint"),
    PRM_Name("eyedrop", "Eye Dropper"),
    PRM_Name("smoothattrib", "Smooth"),
    PRM_Name("callback", "Callback"),
    PRM_Name("erase",   "Erase Changes"),
    PRM_Name(0)
};

static PRM_ChoiceList   sopOpMenu((PRM_ChoiceListType)(PRM_CHOICELIST_EXCLUSIVE |                                                      PRM_CHOICELIST_REPLACE),     sopOpMenuNames);

(This is code from SOP_BrushHairLen.C)

Take care,

George.

Cheers George I missed that one.

I knew it was fairly easy I was just missing some of the syntax.
