Hello I haven’t been programming for long and would like to use an entry in an eto window for another code, can someone help me. Thank you :slight_smile:
I mean how can i use the Variable which entered here: self.m_textbox = forms.TextBox(Text = None)
I just use the code from this site.

# Imports
import Rhino
import scriptcontext
import System
import Rhino.UI
import Eto.Drawing as drawing
import Eto.Forms as forms
 
# SampleEtoRoomNumber dialog class
class SampleEtoRoomNumberDialog(forms.Dialog[bool]):
 
    # Dialog box Class initializer
    def __init__(self):
        # Initialize dialog box
        self.Title = 'Sample Eto: Room Number'
        self.Padding = drawing.Padding(10)
        self.Resizable = False
 
        # Create controls for the dialog
        self.m_label = forms.Label(Text = 'Enter the Room Number:')
        self.m_textbox = forms.TextBox(Text = None)
 
        # Create the default button
        self.DefaultButton = forms.Button(Text = 'OK')
        self.DefaultButton.Click += self.OnOKButtonClick
 
        # Create the abort button
        self.AbortButton = forms.Button(Text = 'Cancel')
        self.AbortButton.Click += self.OnCloseButtonClick
 
        # Create a table layout and add all the controls
        layout = forms.DynamicLayout()
        layout.Spacing = drawing.Size(5, 5)
        layout.AddRow(self.m_label, self.m_textbox)
        layout.AddRow(None) # spacer
        layout.AddRow(self.DefaultButton, self.AbortButton)
 
        # Set the dialog content
        self.Content = layout
 
    # Start of the class functions
 
    # Get the value of the textbox
    def GetText(self):
        return self.m_textbox.Text
 
    # Close button click handler
    def OnCloseButtonClick(self, sender, e):
        self.m_textbox.Text = ""
        self.Close(False)
 
    # OK button click handler
    def OnOKButtonClick(self, sender, e):
        if self.m_textbox.Text == "":
            self.Close(False)
        else:
            self.Close(True)
 
    ## End of Dialog Class ##
 
# The script that will be using the dialog.
def RequestRoomNumber():
    dialog = SampleEtoRoomNumberDialog();
    rc = dialog.ShowModal(Rhino.UI.RhinoEtoApp.MainWindow)
    if (rc):
        print dialog.GetText() #Print the Room Number from the dialog control

if __name__ == "__main__":
    RequestRoomNumber()

Hi @seezy, you can access the self.m_textbox content like below:

def RequestRoomNumber():
    dialog = SampleEtoRoomNumberDialog()
    rc = dialog.ShowModal(Rhino.UI.RhinoEtoApp.MainWindow)
    if rc:
        print dialog.m_textbox.Text

You mean in a different script or the same script as the one above ?

Hi @seezy,

you have multiple options, store in scriptcontext.sticky dictionary or the RuntimeDocumentDataTable if you do not want to save the value in the document when it is closed.

If you need the value to persist after saving and reopening the document, you can store it as DocumentUserText or DocumentData
