[Closed] Dynamic UI

I just found very interesting function call rolloutCreator(). I guess than I can do this with it.

So now I can create dynamic UI with rolloutCreator() function, but for storing values I need Custom Attribute. How to create those dynamicly.

 				posesCA = attributes posesData
 		    	(	    			   			   
 					rollout main "Poses"
 					(
 		    			subrollout child "Weights" height:200
 						 
 		    			on main open do
 						(
 		    		    	--Create the dynamic rollout	  
 		    		    	rci = rolloutCreator "posesRollout" "Weights"
 		    		    	rci.begin() 
 		    		    	for i=1 to poses.count do
 		    		    	(
 		    		    		local nname = ("edit_"+ (i as string)) as name
 		    		    		rci.addControl #slider nname "Test" paramStr:"text:\"Test\""
 		    		    	)
 		    		    	rci.end() 
 						  
 		    		    	addSubRollout (main.child) posesRollout
 		    		    )		    		
 					)
 				)
 

Here is what I have done for this far.

But I can’t add something like this to code above becouse it won’t work.

 parameters params rollout:main
 (
 	for i=1 to poses.count do
 	(
 		execute ("pose"+(i as string)+" type:#float ui:edit_"+(i as string)+" default:0.0
")
 	)
 )
 

Can I do what code above try to do in some other way?

One idea could be (if possible). I do floatTab variable

 myAtt = Attributes myCA
 (
  parameters main rollout:params
  (
   aMyArray type:floatTab tabSizeVariable:true
  )
 
  rollout params "My Rollout"
  (
    ...
  )
 )
 

But can I assign aMyArray items to UI components after when it is created?

Ok. I got this working with execute command. I ofcourse try this allready, but just now I realize than execute dosen’t see to local scope :(. There’s my bug. So if you use variables with execute make sure than it is in global variable scope.

currently in max the only way to create dynamic paramters is to create a string containing the ca def and then execute it

e.g.

secondspn == true
–secondspn == false

strg = “attributes myattrib
“
strg+=”(
“
strg+=“parameters myparm rollout:myroll
“
strg+=”(
“
strg+=”param1 type:#float ui:spn1
“
if secondspn == true then strg+=“param2 type:#float ui:spn2
“
strg+=”)
“
strg+=“rollout myroll “rollout”
“
strg+=”(
“
strg+=“spinner spn1 “spinner1” range:[-10,10,0]
“
if secondspn == true then strg+=“spinner spn2 “spinner2” range:[-10,10,0]
“
strg+=”)
“
strg+=”)
“

newCA = execute strg
custattributes.add $ newCA
