Cheers, Simon. - Thanks for the links and info.
I think part 2 is a little above where I am with scripting! I might look
into storing a version number in an attribute property to reference as a
variable rather than having build a list, look-up the latest version in a
folder etc. With regard to number 1 I am inspecting the property of a
temporary custom parameter set (These inputs are to be used as variables in
various portions of the script. If 'ok' is selected then the script
continues to run as I want but what I want cancel to do is remove
the temporary cp set. I can use your message box at the end of the script
which does the job (like below) but I'd be interested in knowing how to do
this on the custom parameter set inspect property window because if cancel
is selected at this stage then the cp set remains.
from win32com.client import constants as c
Application.DeselectAll()
Application.SelectObj("Scene_Root", "", "")
Application.AddProp("Custom_parameter_list", "", "", "CustomPSet", "")
Application.SelectObj("CustomPSet", "", "")
Application.SIAddCustomParameter("CustomPSet", "Param", "siDouble", 0, "",
"", "", 2053, "", 1, "", "")
Application.InspectObj("CustomPSet","","CustomPSet", c.siModal)
box = XSIUIToolkit.MsgBox('I did what you asked me to do', 1, 'FINISHED!' )
print box
if box == 1:
Application.DeleteObj("CustomPSet")
if box == 2:
Application.DeleteObj("CustomPSet")
