Hi, im pretty new to this forum, Im been trying to translate a VB script of a button, to python, but i haven’t succeed, i was wondering if someone knows a good source for an IronPython introduction, my intuition tells me that the problem lays in the way im assigning the classes(BCL).It seems to me that some classes have multiple ways in which they can be assign. This is the kind error that Python Editor shows :
Runtime error (MissingMemberException): static property ‘Location’ of ‘Form’ can only be assigned to through a type, not an instance
Traceback:
line 9, in scriptButton.gh (11.3 KB)
Hi, thanks for the fast reply, I seem to understand pretty much everything, except from where globals() is call, and why the VB Script make use of the counter in the “If statement”, apparently is not necesary.
Python in Grasshopper is interpreted and procedural and you are running under one single scope. Basically, every time GhPython needs to run your code, it will execute all operations, one by one. globals() is the dictionary with all variables defined in the global scope of the module you are in.
The part of the If statement had a bug, it would redefine parts. If you close the window using Alt+Tab, the script fails to work. The new version keeps on working.

Well, I been trying to developed a Custom Windows Forms Control, but I’m stuck in defining the method OnPaint(System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs), i don’t know how it can be translate to IronPython and haven’t found a good examples for creating custom controls in IronPython.
Can someone give an example of how the System.Drawing.Graphics Classes are use?. and how a custom control should be define?
I have attach the original Vb.net Script and some fail scripts for translating the myToggle() Class.ThanksButtonToggle.gh (10.0 KB)
I really don’t think this is something that should be done directly in the component. If you want to do this, I would suggest importing a .py file from the same folder where the GH definition is saved. There’s a Windows Forms designer in SharpDevelop that writes Windows Forms controls for you.
Alternatively, consider using Eto to create forms that work both on Windows and on the Mac.
Hi Giulio, yes,what I’m really trying to do is some components for UI design, so at some point is better to separate it into other modules, thanks for SharpDevelop, I was searching for something similar, but I could only find IronPythonStudio, it works with Visual Studio 2008, so it’s a pain.
So i was able to find a good set of tutorials on the OnPaint() Method for Python in here. (http://zetcode.com/tutorials/ironpythontutorial/painting/). I was able to create basic graphics for a control, but i could only change the properties outside the OnPaint() Method.
I was wondering if you know a way to change those properties inside OnPaint(), to use a Color Swatch to change the FillRectangle(Brushes.Red, 20, 20, 120, 80) in the example attach. ThanksRectangle.gh (7.1 KB)
Here attached is all the examples working in GHPython(of the linked website). I was able to change the color in the OnPaint(), I was missing the refresh() method in the If Statement.OnPaint_2.gh (12.1 KB)
