Hello,

I need the user to put some geometrical data (not only points, which is well documented in the example files on spaceclaim), and for do that, i normally use tkinter libraries, but in the python version of spaceclaim, these libraries does not work correctly.

Is possible in any way to create an input dialog to make easy direct data recollection from users?

Thank you very much

Regards,

Daniel

So do you want users to browse to and select a file?

no, i do not.
I need to find a way, similar to "input box" in visual basic to retrieve information (int, double, strings...) from the user in a windows style, I think that the image should clarify this.

I could do this in python with the tkinter libraries, but they are not in the current version of python of spaceclaim (as far as I know).

Ok, if you desire to have user interaction with your code, wouldn't a wizard be useful?

Yhank you very much for the fast answer Aniket, but i am looking for something more simple, more intuitive, a common input window, with no need of loading xml, do we have that option in this python version?

,have you tried using windows forms then? Try googling windows form with python and you will find a few examples like:
import clr
clr.AddReference('System.Windows.Forms')
from System.Windows.Forms import Application, Form

class HelloWorldForm(System.Windows.Forms.Form):
def __init__(self):
self.Text = 'Hello World'
self.Name = 'Hello World'

form = HelloWorldForm Application.Run(form)
