dialog &	caption (const char *id)
	pass the caption of the dialog
dialog &	width (int w)
	change the default width
dialog &	modal ()
	dialog will be modal. Generally, it is modal by default. Execution will be paused at show() till the user will press any dialog button.

	dialog will be no modal. Execution will continue after you will call the show()

	The important core feature. BaseClass allows to create the custom controls in the dialog. Look the dialog example to understand how to use it.
dialog &	process (std::function< void()> process)
	pass the function/lambda that will be called each frame. But there is better way - override the ProcessInEditor for the BaseClass derived class and handle the processing there.
dialog &	onPress (std::function< void(int)> press)
	pass the function/lambda that will be called when the button will be pressed. The button index (starts from 1) will be passed to the function
int	show ()
	pass the function/lambda that will be called when the button will be pressed. The button index (starts from 1) will be passed to the function The function looks lite:

caption()

dialog & coat::dialog::caption

(

const char *

id

)

pass the caption of the dialog

Parameters

id	id the caption or caption identifier that will be used to take the text from the language file. You may press F9 to localize it in UI.

Returns

the chain ref

Examples

dialogs.cpp, ffCube.cpp, ffCylinder.cpp, spiral.cpp, and threadStud.cpp.

dontShowAgainCheckbox()

dialog & coat::dialog::dontShowAgainCheckbox

(

)

show the checkbox "Don't show again". If user checks if the dialog will net be shown next time and show() will return 0 immediately.

Returns

itself

Examples

TreesGenerator.cpp.

fadeDialogsBackground()

static bool & coat::dialog::fadeDialogsBackground ( )

static

returns the reference to the global property - fade modal dialogs background (true) or not (false)

Returns

the property reference

modal()

dialog & coat::dialog::modal

(

)

dialog will be modal. Generally, it is modal by default. Execution will be paused at show() till the user will press any dialog button.

Returns

itself

no()

dialog & coat::dialog::no

(

)

add No button

Returns

itself

noModal()

dialog & coat::dialog::noModal

onPress()

dialog & coat::dialog::onPress

(

std::function< void(int)>

press

)

pass the function/lambda that will be called when the button will be pressed. The button index (starts from 1) will be passed to the function

Parameters

press

the callback/lambda

Returns

itself

Examples

dialogs.cpp.

params()

dialog & coat::dialog::params

(

BaseClass *

params

)

The important core feature. BaseClass allows to create the custom controls in the dialog. Look the dialog example to understand how to use it.

Parameters

params

the pointer to the class derived from the BaseClass

Returns

itself

Examples

HoneyComb.cpp, capsule.cpp, dialogs.cpp, ellipses.cpp, ffCube.cpp, ffCylinder.cpp, gear.cpp, meshes.cpp, meshes_surface_merge.cpp, metaballs.cpp, spheres.cpp, spiral.cpp, square_volume.cpp, thread.cpp, threadStud.cpp, and tube.cpp.

process()

dialog & coat::dialog::process

(

std::function< void()>

process

)

pass the function/lambda that will be called each frame. But there is better way - override the ProcessInEditor for the BaseClass derived class and handle the processing there.

Parameters

process

the callback/lambda

Returns

itself

question()

dialog & coat::dialog::question

(

)

add Question icon

Returns

itself

show()

int coat::dialog::show

(

)

pass the function/lambda that will be called when the button will be pressed. The button index (starts from 1) will be passed to the function The function looks lite:

def press(index):
    if index == 1:
        print("Ok pressed, usually it is left button, so it las index 1, indices start from 1 and grow to the right")

Parameters

press

the callback/lambda

Returns

itself

Show the dialog. This is usually the last command in the chain.

Returns

the button index. First button in the list has index 1

Examples

Arrays.cpp, HelloWorld.cpp, HoneyComb.cpp, Strings.cpp, TreesGenerator.cpp, capsule.cpp, ellipses.cpp, ffCube.cpp, ffCylinder.cpp, gear.cpp, meshes.cpp, meshes_surface_merge.cpp, metaballs.cpp, spheres.cpp, spiral.cpp, square_volume.cpp, thread.cpp, threadStud.cpp, and tube.cpp.

text()

dialog & coat::dialog::text

(

const char *

id

)

pass the header text of the dialog

Parameters

id	the text or text identifier that will be used to take the text from the language file. You may press F9 to localize it in UI.

Returns

the reference to pass multiple options at chain.

Examples

Arrays.cpp, HelloWorld.cpp, Strings.cpp, TreesGenerator.cpp, and dialogs.cpp.

topRight()

dialog & coat::dialog::topRight

(

)

place the dialog at the top-right position of the viewport

Returns

itself

transparentBackground()

dialog & coat::dialog::transparentBackground

(

)

the background will not be faded

Returns

itself

undoWorks()

dialog & coat::dialog::undoWorks

(

)

allow undo (CTR-Z) act even in modal dialog

Returns

itself

warn()

dialog & coat::dialog::warn

(

)

add Warning icon

Returns

itself

width()

dialog & coat::dialog::width

(

int

w

)

change the default width

Parameters

w	the width will be scaled in correspondence with the font size, so you may pass absolute values like 500

Returns

itself

yes()

dialog & coat::dialog::yes
