I’d like to change the button to read something other than, ‘close’.
How do I do this?
The API docs say
// Set common buttons and default button. If no CommonButton or CommandLink is added,
// task dialog will show a Close button by default
mainDialog.CommonButtons = TaskDialogCommonButtons.Close;
mainDialog.DefaultButton = TaskDialogResult.Close;
Data shapes is written in Python and all open for viewing in the nodes. Given the main input form node goes over 1k lines of code I’d say it’s a teensy bit complicated.
Might be worth looking into pyRevit if you’re going down the Python route. Ehsan provides some great forms to use by default which have customizable button names and outputs:
Here is simple example of a CPython3 Winform with outputs within the Dynamo Core environment to get you going. I have commented the code so you are able to follow what each part is doing, and so can figure out in what direction you might be looking to investigate your UI choices further.
