Help with Add-On GUI?

[Joel Buehler]

Hehey evryone. 

I have to make a Archicad plugin. so far so good, i managed to get in running and all. but im comming from a c# world and i realy have a problem to unterstand how the gui of a plugin should work.

i relly like the documentation but it seems that there isnt that much help about the gui of an addon? or am i wrong?  

if someone could point me in the right direction would be very helpfull 😃

You can look at the DG_Test example in the api documentation.

you have 2 main files to control the gui; addon.grc and addonfix.grc.

addon.grc defines the layout of your gui , addonfix  links icons to elements defined in addon.grc

 The behaviour is the ui id defined by a class that links the element of your gui to your code.

Not gonna lie it takes a while to get used to.

look at this article for help: https://archicadapi.Graphisoft.com/Archicad-maze-generator-add-on-tutorial-part-2
