Change Layout from GUI

Hi, I used the Layout-tool for the positioning of objects in 2 different scenarios.
Now I want to change the Layout from a button in a user GUI. I managed to do this with views and groups, but for the layouts it seems to be a bit more complicated... any ideas... ?

OK, the change of views worked in 4.3 , in 4.5 it does not.

I tried the following on the onpress of a button in a user GUI:

flystop();
treenode curview = node("/Tools/OrthoViews/1", model());
executefsnode(curview,curview,0,0,0);
repaintall();

What the code should do is change the view to the first captured view, but it does not work?
What did I do wrong?

That is the code I am using, which is working:


// SET THE VIEW TO THE CAPTURED VIEW (DON'T FORGET THAT THE GUI NEEDS A palettewindow ATTRIBUTE)
// STOP THE FLY PATH
flystop();
// POINTER TO CURRENT VIEW
treenode curview = node("/Tools/OrthoViews/1",model());
// SET THE VIEW
executefsnode(curview,curview,0,0,0);
// SCREENREFESH
repaintall();

I guess what is missing is the palettwindow attribute at the GUI. See my comment.
Add a node called palettewindow under the GUI e.g. behind windowtitle. Build Rebind Object Attributes and the color of the node should turn to blue color.
Hopefully everything is working afterwards.

Hi Tom, you are right (as most of the time), when I add a palletwindow node to the gui, it is working. Thank you.

Any ideas of how to change the Layout from a user-GUI??

Here's the code for a user command (eg. 'setLayout') that accepts the name of the layout as a parameter and sets the positions and sizes etc. You can then call this from whatever GUI mechanism you use to select it - button press etc.. You can also use it at the start of a scenario in the experimenter.

 
string layoutname=parstr(1);
for (int r=content(model());r>1;r--){
    treenode layout=node(concat(">Layouts/",layoutname),rank(model(),r));
    if (objectexists(layout)){
       for (int n=content(layout);n>0;n--){
              setnodenum(rank(node(">spatial", rank(model(),r)), n), getnodenum(rank(layout,n)));
      }
   } 
   forobjecttreeunder(rank(model(),r)){
      treenode layout=node(concat(">Layouts/",layoutname),a);
      if (objectexists(layout)){
          for (int n=content(layout);n>0;n--){
               setnodenum(rank(node(">spatial", a), n), getnodenum(rank(layout,n)));
          }
     }
  }
}
