Function Documentation

ACAPI_Dialog_ActivateSessionReport()

GSErrCode __ACENV_CALL ACAPI_Dialog_ActivateSessionReport

(

)

Activates the session report window.

Since

Archicad 26

Returns

• NoError - The function has completed with success.

Remarks

This function is used to open the session report window after important informations were written in it. See also ACAPI_WriteReport.

ACAPI_Dialog_CreateAttributePicker()

GSErrCode __ACENV_CALL ACAPI_Dialog_CreateAttributePicker	(	const API_AttributePickerParams &	attributePickerParams,
		GS::Owner< API_AttributePicker > &	attributePicker
	)

Enables the attribute picker functionality for a push check, if the user clicks the push check, the picker will open. Attributes pickers can be used to choose an attribute. On these new pickers, the folder structure and searching functionality is enabled.

Since

Archicad 26

Parameters

attributePickerParams	[in] Parameters of attribute picker (type of the attribute, the parameters of push check).
attributePicker	[out] The constructed picker.

Returns

• NoError - The function has completed with success.
• APIERR_BADPARS - Incorrect attributePickerParams was specified.

ACAPI_Dialog_ObjectSettings()

GSErrCode __ACENV_CALL ACAPI_Dialog_ObjectSettings

(

API_ObjectSettingsPars *

objectSettingsPars

)

Opens the Object/Lamp(/Window/Door) Settings dialog.

Parameters

objectSettingsPars

[in/out] The parameters to open the dialog with. Also contains the selected object on return.

Returns

• NoError - The function has completed with success.
• APIERR_BADPARS - objectSettingsPars is nullptr.
• APIERR_BADID - objectSettingsPars contains invalid data.

Remarks

The Settings dialog may show only library parts with a given subtype. The default library part's library index can also be passed onto this function. It returns the parameters set in the Settings dialog, and also the additional parameters of the selected library part. If subtypeID is an empty string, then the passed typeID and variationID will be used to identify the tool whose subtype will serve as a filter. If libIndex is 0 (i.e. you haven't used ACAPI_LibraryPart_Search to find an appropriate library item), then the function tried to find the first item in the loaded libraries, whose subtype matches the passed subTypeID (or typeID and variationID). The linked properties information specified on the Listing and Labeling page returns in the propIndivLibInd and propCriteria fields. These properties should be linked to the element you would create after calling the Object Settings dialog (see ACAPI_ElementLink_SetLinkedPropertyObjects).

GSErrCode SelectObject (void)
{
    GSErrCode    err = NoError;

    if (err == NoError) {
        char msgStr[256];
        sprintf (msgStr, "Object #%d was selected!", api_objSetPars.elemDef.object.libInd);
        ACAPI_WriteReport (msgStr, true);
 
        // Create an object element:
        {
            API_Element     element;

                    if (err1 == NoError)
                        err1 = ACAPI_ElementLink_SetLinkedPropertyObjects (&element.header, api_objSetPars.propCriteria, api_objSetPars.propIndivLibInd);
                    return err1;
                });
        }
    }
 
    if (api_objSetPars.addPars != nullptr)
        ACAPI_DisposeAddParHdl (&api_objSetPars.addPars);    // do not forget to dispose the handle

ACAPI_Dialog_OpenPictureDialog()

GSErrCode __ACENV_CALL ACAPI_Dialog_OpenPictureDialog	(	bool *	retCode,
		IO::Location *	location
	)

Opens an "Open Picture" dialog (same dialog as on Material Settings, Texture tabpage).

Since

Parameters

retCode	[out] True if a valid picture format file is selected in the "Open Picture" dialog.
location	[out] The location of the selected Picture format file.

Returns

• NoError - The function has completed with success.

Invokes the Open Picture (Load Image from Library) dialog, and returns the chosen picture's location. Also adds the chosen picture to the Embedded Library if it was not part of that previously.

ACAPI_Dialog_PetPalette()

GSErrCode __ACENV_CALL ACAPI_Dialog_PetPalette	(	API_PetPaletteType *	petPaletteInfo,
		APIPetPaletteCallBackProc *	petPaletteProc
	)

Opens a pet palette for performing user input from the add-on.

Parameters

petPaletteInfo	[in] identifies the pet palette.
petPaletteProc	[in] callback procedure for the palette.

Returns

• NoError - The function has completed with success.
• APIERR_BADPARS - One or both of the parameters are nullptr.
• APIERR_NESTING - Pet palettes cannot be opened when the input has already begun.
• APIERR_BADWINDOW - Pet palettes can be opened only above drawing windows.
• APIERR_BADID - One of the following errors occured: The petIconIDsHdl is nullptr. The petIconIDsHdl contain more or less IDs, thanindicated by nCols * nRows. The supplied petPaletteID collides with abuilt-in Archicad petpalette identifier. Choosing the old pictID for identifier is a good idea. The supplied petPaletteIDcollides withanother petpalette, which differs from the actual one: it hasmore or less items, or it has the same number of items, butat least one of them has different icon resource identifier. The Add-On is using the old API_PetPaletteType structure. For other common API errors see the API Errors document.

Remarks

The pet palette consists of individual 'GICN' icon resources (pet items). Each pet item in the palette assumed to be 22 pixels wide and 22 pixels high. Larger icons will appear truncated. The iconIDs should be passed to the Archicad in a GSHandle consisting of short numbers. The Archicad builds up the palette from these icons. Besides this, each different pet palette should have a unique identifier. Choosing the old pictID for identifier is a good idea. The pet palette can have tooltip (yellow bar) strings and help anchors (the help mechanism is loaded with it). The strings should be placed as pairs into a 'DHLP' resource. In the 'DHLP' resource, every tooltip and help anchor pair belongs to the corresponding pet item on the palette. This resource should be compiled into the API resource module, and their identifier can be passed to the API_PetPaletteType structure. The API will search for only this resource, and will index this with the pet palette item's relative index to get the help object and take an action: it will display the tooltip string, or will pass the anchor as a parameter to the help engine configured by the add-on. If the add-on wants to take these opportunities, then it should set the Location of its own help engine by the DGRegisterAdditionalHelpLocation function of the Dialog Manager module. This can be done during the Initialize phase, and you should unregister the help location by calling DGUnregisterAdditionalHelpLocation during the FreeData phase. The developerId and localId is the MDID stored in your 32500 'MDID' resource. The palette callback procedure is called with the actual value of the pet palette (see APIPetPaletteCallBackProc).

ACAPI_Dialog_SaveLibPartFileDialog()

GSErrCode __ACENV_CALL ACAPI_Dialog_SaveLibPartFileDialog	(	bool *	retCode,
		IO::Location *	location,
		bool *	browseForFolder = nullptr,
		GS::UniString *	dialogTitle = nullptr,
		GS::UniString *	dialogTypeStr = nullptr
	)

Opens the Save Library Part dialog and returns the selected location.

Parameters

retCode	[out] returns whether the dialog was closed with confirmation (OK, Save, etc.)
location	[in/out] sets the default library and filename to open the dialog with, and returns the location of the chosen file
browseForFolder	[in] enables the dialog to save Library Parts outside the Embedded Library (optional; the default value is false)
dialogTitle	[in] defines the title of the dialog (optional)
dialogTypeStr	[in] defines the library part type of the dialog (optional); applicable identifiers are: "ExportObjectDialog" (default), "ExportDoorDialog", "ExportWindowDialog"

Returns

• NoError - The function has completed with success.
• APIERR_BADPARS - retCode or location is nullptr.

Remarks

Use this function to let the user choose a file location for saving a library part in the loaded libraries. The function needs a valid location to open the dialog from. The location is set only if the dialog was closed with confirmation button (OK, Save, etc.).

Example

bool         done = false;
bool         retIsOk = false;
IO::Location location ("Untitled");
do {
    GSErrCode err = ACAPI_Interface (APIIo_SaveLibPartFileDialogID
, &retIsOk, &location);
    if (err == NoError && retIsOk) {
        API_LibPart libPart;
        BNZeroMemory (&libPart, sizeof (API_LibPart));
 
        IO::Name name;
        location.GetLastLocalName (&name);
 
        CHTruncate (name.ToString ().ToCStr (), libPart.file_Name, sizeof (libPart.file_Name));
        if (ACAPI_LibraryPart_Search (&libPart, false) == NoError) {
            ACAPI_WriteReport ("Library part with this name already exists, please choose different name.", true);
            done = false;
        } else {
            done = true;
        }
        if (libPart.location != nullptr)
            delete libPart.location;
    } else {
        done = true;
    }
} while (!done);
