Set in TextFields

[aesthetik0717 (JimYuan)]

How can I assign new value(“prompt”) to the TextFields by scripting?

There’s a class named “TexteFields” under Rhino.Runtime, and they are all static methods.

TextFields Class

I couldn’t find a method allow me to assign new value(prompt, if I used the language in the rhinoCommon).

So, basically I have a block from AutoCAD in the similar structure, and I want to assigning new values inside those text fields.

I know the block in RhinoCommon, I should look up the InstanceDefinition class.

TextFields.InstanceAttributeField.Prompt Property

This function do get the name, prompt and the defaultValue.

Just wanna ask if there’s a way I can assgin a new value(prompt) to these textfields.

Some tests I tried.

And the files are attached, Thanks.

Hi @aesthetik0717,

I’m not sure I understand what you are looking to do. But this list:

Is not extendable.

Or am I confused? Please you can try to clarify what you are trying to do?

Thanks for the reply. I want to assign the new value to these fields.

I know that textFields can do automation with simple fx logic, which I want to do it by scripting in Grasshopper. However, I would need to a way to set the new value to those fields.

I found that I can access those fields’ texts by TextFields methods, but all of them are only for get (getter), not allow we to set the new value (setter).

I also know that we can use macro SetUserText to do the job, but still wonder if there’s a setter in TextField class or other class that can allow me to change the value to those fields?

private void RunScript(bool btn, Guid frameId, object x, ref object A)
  {
    if(!btn){
      return;
    }
    RhinoDoc.ActiveDoc.Objects.Select(frameId);
    RhinoApp.RunScript("_-SetUserText 設計者 Jim", false);
    RhinoApp.RunScript("_-SetUserText 設計者 Jim2", false);
    RhinoDoc.ActiveDoc.Objects.UnselectAll();
  }

Thanks.

Hi @aesthetik0717,

How about this?

public void TestUserText(RhinoDoc doc, Guid objectId)
{
  if (null != doc)
  {
    var rhinoObject = doc.Objects.FindId(objectId);
    {
      if (null != rhinoObject)
      {
        var attributes = rhinoObject.Attributes.Duplicate();
        attributes.SetUserString("Name", "Jim");
        attributes.SetUserString("Occupation", "Designer");
        doc.Objects.ModifyAttributes(rhinoObject, attributes, false);
      }
    }
  }
}

public void TestUserText(RhinoDoc doc, Guid objectId)
{
  if (null != doc)
  {
    var rhinoObject = doc.Objects.FindId(objectId);
    {
      if (null != rhinoObject)
      {
        var attributes = rhinoObject.Attributes.Duplicate();
        attributes.SetUserString("Name", "Jim");
        attributes.SetUserString("Occupation", "Designer");
        doc.Objects.ModifyAttributes(rhinoObject, attributes, false);
      }
    }
  }
}

Thanks, it works perfectly!
