UI-Control for feature selection (reference)

[LarsZiegler]

Hello!

I want to select features or references in an UI dialog for Wildfire 3.0.

It would be fine to have the same style like in the dialog for sketched curves or sketch orientation.

Do anyone know how to make these controls(InputPanels?) ?

Background yellow, click on it activates a selection... and so on.

Hope you know what I mean.

Greetings Lars

Lars,
This should be doable in WF 3.0. The control you're looking for is a
ProUIInputPanel. In the resource file (.res) you would put an InputPanel
in your Components section and set properties in the Resources section.
Actually...here is a better way to determine how to setup the resource
file. Open Pro/E and begin a feature creation operation that displays a
dialog which has an InputPanel control that behaves the way you want yours
to behave. Open the trail file and see what dialog was opened. Then look
in the <pro loadpoint=">\text\resource directory for that .res file. Then
find the InputPanel and copy it's properties into your .res file.

1. To make the background yellow set the .BackgroundColor attribute.
2. Use the ProUIInputPanelFocusInActionSet callback to begin the
ProSelect operation.

Read the API Wizard under User's Guide->User Interface: Dialogs->Input
Panel (WF 4.0). The path in the WF 3.0 UG should be similiar.

Hi Patrick,

good idea with the trailfile. It was not so easy to find out wich res it is.

But i got it. It was datum_sket_tab.res.

So i found out that it isn't an InputPanel.

Its not possible to change the background color by the API.

The control is a table. So i try to do that...!

Keep swinging,

Lars
