Customize Dialog Modules

Information

• Dialog modules are auxiliary modules which work similar to dialog messages. However, they are structured like actual modules and allow for more complex actions and selection operations than dialog messages.
• Dialog modules are customized like regular modules and are turned into dialog modules by setting Class = 12.

Procedure

• Customize a module in the Modules module.
• Set the Class parameter to 12.
• Define the following parameters, with which you can control the display of the dialog module, in the Other Module Parameters module:
  • Show title bar: Defines whether the dialog module is displayed with or without title bar.
  • Dialog can be moved: Defines whether the dialog module can be moved with the mouse. This parameter can only be activated if Show title bar is activated.
  • Click outside → Close : Defines, whether the dialog module is closed when clicking outside of the dialog module. This parameter can only be activated if Show title bar is activated.
  • Button x (close) : Defines, whether the x for closing is displayed in the title bar.
• Dialog position : Defines the positioning of the dialog module.
• Color intensity / Shading color / Shading color: Currently without function

Note

• Dialog modules can only be used within the panel. 
• Via the open_dialog_module() Python function, each module can be opened as dialog module.
