Hi Guys,
I’ve uploaded my first how to video for DKUI, thought it might be handy if they have their own thread. Here we go:

In the next video I look at how to add styling to the UI window and how to semi-automatically change between light and dark modes to match the Rhino window.

Interesting project. Unfortunately I don’t have time to watch like I’d like to due to my own extremely time-consuming projects, but I definitely subscribed to your YT channel.

Thank you for producing these helpful videos and for your work on the plugin. I’m testing it on RhinoMac. I currently don0’t have access to a Windows machine. I’m getting the following error even after connecting all the inputs like in your example:
- On the DK Page Server component: 1. Solution exception:‘NoneType’ object has no attribute ‘Screen’
The error sound like there is some issue with Python version…

Hi Filipe, I tracked that issue down to an ETO method that is not supported on MacOS.
Code has been patched and a new copy is up on the Package Manager.

It is working now! So I started stress testing your plugin, sorry for that. Found another issue:
When setting the DK Get Curve “get curve” input to true, the grasshopper canvas returns the error bellow. It is possible to dismiss the error after a few clicks on Close. But it is not possible to drag a wire out of the DK Get Curve curve output.
There is also some lagginess while the DK Get Curve is in the canvas.
There is also some issue with DK Get Brep component. After connecting it to the html input of the DK Build Page component all the html elements in the page disappear and the component returns the following error: 1. Solution exception:sequence item 8: expected str instance, NoneType found
Also, setting the DK Get Brep get_brep input to true starts the selection call in the rhino window but it is not possible to select a brep. A similar issue is happening with the DK Get Point component.
I have a few other questions but I’ll leave that for latter.
Thanks

OK guys, this one is a little less “How to” and little more “How does it work”
In this video I build a logic control in pure HTML and detail the underlying communication protocol between DKUI and Grasshopper.
Anyone with web development experience should be able to see how they can build there own custom components and pages using DKUI as the protocol.

Further to the above video, here I add UI feedback to the HTML control:

In this video we add more data payload to the HTML built control:

OK Team, I personally believe that this is the ‘killer app’ in DKUI - the ability to save and reload the state of the user interface:
