I’m trying to make steps into learning Python within Dynamo. I’ve realised i’ve probably took a step too far and haven’t learned the basics, but I was wondering if anyone could help me out with an issue I have.
I’m in the process of writing a script for work and it was an added bonus I try add in a GUI interface to help with making it user friendly and more accessible to people who don’t “trust” dynamo…
The script side of things is going fine, however i’m stuck trying to create an interface to do a simple yes/no answer with two different outputs, this would be very beneficial if i could do this atleast once because I can string a few of them together to allow people to make choice on outputs.
So if anyone could help me on this, i’d really appreciate it. I essentially want the Python Script node to have to Outputs which are essentially Yes and No, choosing to delete existing circuits or keep them. Also as you notice in the image above, the delete existing circuit text is being cut off, how would I fix that?
Sorry for the probably very basic questions but I’d really like to learn Python with this script and in the short amount of time i’ve learned a little.

First time ever trying those guis, actually pretty interesting and might do more digging on my own later. I got this template to return a Yes or No as the response:

def CreateMyForm():
form1 = Form()
form1.Text = "Guess what"
button1 = Button()
button1.Text = "Yes"
button1.DialogResult = DialogResult.Yes
button1.Location = Point(10,10)
button2 = Button()
button2.Text = "No"
button2.DialogResult = DialogResult.No
leftval = button1.Left + button1.Width + 10
button2.Location = Point(leftval, button1.Top)
form1.HelpButton = False
form1.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.FixedToolWindow
form1.MaximizeBox = False
form1.MinimizeBox = False
form1.AcceptButton = button1
form1.CancelButton = button2
form1.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.CenterScreen
form1.Controls.Add(button1)
form1.Controls.Add(button2)
form1.Size = Size(300,300)
form1.ShowDialog()
return form1.DialogResult
if IN[0]:
newform = CreateMyForm()
OUT = newform
Of course, you will have to tweak it for yours but I think the main thing you were missing was the DialogResult.Yes or .No attached to each button.
So we used completely different types of GUI based on similar things. The only thing you need to do to fix yours was to change the def ButtonClickedYes(self, sender, args): where you had self.values.append(...) change it to self.values.append("Yes"). To add a “No” option, you need to make a new function.
