Open Component Options window with Ruby?

descoteaux

I'm trying to create a custom tool in Jim Foltz's Custom Toolbar. It simply needs to open the Component Options window when clicked. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a Sketchup.send_action value to do so. Is there an alternative way to accomplish this? Thank you.

Thank you for your help. I've actually already explored that list and I believe the Component Options window is not on it. Those send action values aren't it.

id 21086 is assigned to the "Purge Unused" menuitem, on the Components Manager Popup menu.

And...

id 21060 opens the Components Manager Inspector (toolwindow,) NOT the DC Component Options (WebDialog) window.

Instead call:
$dc_observers.get_latest_class().show_configure_dialog()

or to close it:
$dc_observers.get_latest_class().close_configure_dialog()

You will need to add a defined?($dc_observers) check (perhaps as part of the toolbar button validation proc,) to be sure that Dynamic Components are loaded, and perhaps a require("dynamiccomponents.rb") if they are not. (Still a user may have them turned off in the Preferences dialog.)

Excellent! That did the trick Dan, thank you!
