Adding Inputs and/or Outputs via Component Menu

Hello,

The recent GrasshopperSDK.chm has some nice additions to the Examples section. Is there an example of how to implement an Input or Output Manager to a component? I've run into a few scenarios recently where this might be useful.

Thanks,

Luis

Hi Luis,

nope. It's a pretty horrific UI and I'll probably rewrite this SDK section from scratch soon. Though I suspect I'll keep the old method around since there's no downside.

You'll need to implement the Grasshopper.Kernel.IGH_VarParamComponent interface in your component and the UI will appear.

Hi David,

Thanks for the tip. I was able to implement the VarParam interface. I suppose the key things to take into consideration (from the looks of the added methods) is whether its input or output, what happens when a parameter is added, and the naming/attributes of the new parameter. If updating this part of the SDK is not high priority, I might keep hammering away on it and see if I can't achieve the functionality.

Thanks

luis
