Button

Hello, I am building a customised GH component Visual Studio (C#). I already managed to create "standard" components using the GHA assembly wizard (which is really helpful by the way!). Now, I want to add radio buttons within my component. I started from an existing script which works (using Reflector) but I can't recovred the value button cheked :( .Can you help me?

Adding items to a menu is easy, the problem is what happens when you click those icons. Some code needs to get executed. What functionality do you have in mind?

Since we're overriding the native drawing routines we're also in charge of drawing the name/icon. You can probably use the protected method RenderComponentCapsule but you'll have to temporarily adjust the Bounds and make sure you only enable the drawComponentBaseBox argument.

I don't understand. Printing from where, using what functions? Do you want an output parameter or do you want to display a print output directly on the canvas?

Hi David, I want both , first output parameter and I also want to display a print output directly on the canvas ://

For the output parameter all you have to do is register a String output, just like any other output. If you want to draw text on the canvas you just need to place the correct call to graphics.DrawString() from within your custom render method.

If you want to draw something non-standard on the canvas it's usually helpful to post an image of what you're trying to achieve.

hi David,

my component that I developed with the radio buttons has a problem :

when I copy / paste my component by selecting two radio buttons

the copy does not take into account that the two buttons are selected despite they are Selected !
