Component parameter as a Number

[Petras1 (Petras Vestartas)]

Hi,

Is there a way to pass a number by right click of the grasshopper component in AppendAdditionalComponentMenuItems ?

I have only seen boolean parameters, but numbers would be really helpful.

Could someone show an example of such implementation?

namespace MenuInput
{
  public class MenuInputComponent : GH_Component
  {
      private double _number;
      public MenuInputComponent() : base("MenuInput", "Nickname",
          "Description", "Category", "Subcategory")
      { }
      protected override void RegisterInputParams(GH_InputParamManager pManager) { }
      protected override void RegisterOutputParams(GH_OutputParamManager pManager)
      {
          pManager.AddNumberParameter("O", "O", "O", GH_ParamAccess.item);
      }
      protected override void SolveInstance(IGH_DataAccess DA)
      {
          DA.SetData(0, _number);
      }
      public override void AppendAdditionalMenuItems(ToolStripDropDown menu)
      {
          var setInt = Menu_AppendItem(menu, "Set Number");
          Menu_AppendTextItem(setInt.DropDown, _number.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture), null, TextChanged, true);
      }
      private void TextChanged(GH_MenuTextBox sender, string newText)
      {
          _number = Convert.ToDouble(newText);
          ExpireSolution(true);
      }
      protected override System.Drawing.Bitmap Icon => null;
      public override Guid ComponentGuid => new Guid("d2bc99d5-36b1-4139-b42d-f21ac50d3a90");
  }
}

Real time panel in grasshopper?

I’ve made a little component that can help you achieve what you’re looking for: [RealtimeTextBox] As you can see you need to right-click on this component to edit the output text. RealtimeTextBox.gha (8 KB) Sourse Code: using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Windows.Forms; using Grasshopper.Kernel; using Rhino.Geometry; namespace RealtimeTextBox { public class RealtimeTextBoxComponent : GH_Component { public string text; public RealtimeTextBoxC…

      private void TextChanged(GH_MenuTextBox sender, string newText)
      {
          _number = Convert.ToDouble(newText);
          ExpireSolution(true);
      }

That is super useful, thank you so much, works like a charm.

Is there a way to access those two click buttons?
I’d like to NOT recompute every time the text changes
I only want the text change to take effect when one clicks the commit changes

ps. I’m aware that I could use Windows.Forms classes and script the above behavior myself. Just curious.

very nice!
sneaky Menu_AppendTextItem actually adds two more menu items…
