- Main article: RL Python Samples.
iClone Python API has the ability to display pop-up message boxes that can ease the flow of your scripted procedures, as well as provide warnings and alerts. Message boxes can be sparse with no interaction except for the universal close window button on the top right of the window bar. They can also support a single checkbox and a single button interaction.
Available Buttons
The label on the single button changes according to the type of button called, they are the following:
Python Enum / User Action | Button Label | Return Value | Bit Integer |
---|---|---|---|
RLPy.EMsgButton_NoButton | "OK" | 0 | 0-bit (2^0) |
RLPy.EMsgButton_Ok | "OK" | 1024 | 10-bit (2^10) |
RLPy.EMsgButton_Save | "Save" | 2048 | 11-bit (2^11) |
RLPy.EMsgButton_SaveAll | "Save All" | 4096 | 12-bit (2^12) |
RLPy.EMsgButton_Open | "Open" | 8196 | 13-bit (2^13) |
RLPy.EMsgButton_Yes | "Yes" | 16384 | 14-bit (2^14) |
RLPy.EMsgButton_YesToAll | "Yes to All" | 32768 | 15-bit (2^15) |
RLPy.EMsgButton_No | "No" | 65536 | 16-bit (2^16) |
RLPy.EMsgButton_NoToAll | "No to All" | 131072 | 17-bit (2^17) |
RLPy.EMsgButton_Abort | "Abort" | 262144 | 18-bit (2^18) |
RLPy.EMsgButton_Retry | "Retry" | 524288 | 19-bit (2^19) |
RLPy.EMsgButton_Overlook | "Ignore" | 1048576 | 20-bit (2^20) |
RLPy.EMsgButton_Close | "Close" | 2097152 | 21-bit (2^21) |

Necessary Modules
The only required module for this lesson is the standard Reallusion Python API library.
import RLPy
Simple Message Box
The most simple message boxes just provide additional information to the user.
RLPy.RUi.ShowMessageBox(
"Message 1/3",
"Message boxes can block operations.",
RLPy.EMsgButton_Ok)
Message Box with Checkbox
In addition, message boxes can support check-boxes for more complex interactions.
button_status = RLPy.RUi.ShowMessageBox(
"Message 2/3",
"We can demonstrate this with a check-box...",
RLPy.EMsgButton_Close,
True,
"Try me!"
)
Action Blocking Message Boxes
Message boxes are asynchronous; they block the next action until the user removes it by clicking on the button or exiting the window.
RLPy.RUi.ShowMessageBox(
"Message 3/3",
{1024: "<b>False:</b> Checkbox was <b><i>NOT</i></b> activated.",
268435456: "<b>True</b> Checkbox was activated!",
2097152: "<b>Canceled:</b> The message box was closed prematurely.",
}[button_status],
RLPy.EMsgButton_Ok
)
Everything Put Together
You can copy and paste the following code into a PY file and load it into iClone via Script > Load Python.
import RLPy
RLPy.RUi.ShowMessageBox(
"Message 1/3",
"Message boxes can block operations.",
RLPy.EMsgButton_Ok)
button_status = RLPy.RUi.ShowMessageBox(
"Message 2/3",
"We can demonstrate this with a check-box...",
RLPy.EMsgButton_Close,
True,
"Try me!"
)
RLPy.RUi.ShowMessageBox(
"Message 3/3",
{1024: "<b>False:</b> Checkbox was <b><i>NOT</i></b> activated.",
268435456: "<b>True</b> Checkbox was activated!",
2097152: "<b>Canceled:</b> The message box was closed prematurely.",
}[button_status],
RLPy.EMsgButton_Ok
)
APIs Used
You can research the following references for the APIs deployed in this code.
