GetString Methods

The GetString type exposes the following members.

Methods
  NameDescription
Public methodAcceptColor
If you want to allow the user to be able to type in a color r,g,b or name during GetPoint.Get(), GetObject::GetObjects(), etc., then call AcceptColor(true) before calling GetPoint()/GetObject(). If the user chooses to type in a color, then the result code GetResult.Color is returned and you can use RhinoGet.Color() to get the value of the color. If the get accepts points, then the user will not be able to type in r,g,b colors but will be able to type color names.
(Inherited from GetBaseClass.)
Public methodAcceptCustomMessage (Inherited from GetBaseClass.)
Public methodAcceptEnterWhenDone
There are instances of RhinoGet that prompt with "Press Enter when Done." yet do not call AcceptNothing(). On the Mac, these instances need an additional call to AcceptEnterWhenDone() so the GetPointOptions dialog can correctly enable the Done button.
(Inherited from GetBaseClass.)
Public methodCode exampleAcceptNothing
If you want to allow the user to be able to press enter in order to skip selecting a something in GetPoint.Get(), GetObject::GetObjects(), etc., then call AcceptNothing( true ) beforehand.
(Inherited from GetBaseClass.)
Public methodAcceptNumber
If you want to allow the user to be able to type in a number during GetPoint.Get(), GetObject::GetObjects(), etc., then call AcceptNumber() beforehand. If the user chooses to type in a number, then the result code GetResult.Number is returned and you can use RhinoGet.Number() to get the value of the number. If you are using GetPoint and you want "0" to return (0,0,0) instead of the number zero, then set acceptZero = false.
(Inherited from GetBaseClass.)
Public methodAcceptPoint
If you want to allow the user to be able to type in a point then call AcceptPoint(true) before calling GetPoint()/GetObject(). If the user chooses to type in a number, then the result code GetResult.Point is returned and you can use RhinoGet.Point() to get the value of the point.
(Inherited from GetBaseClass.)
Public methodAcceptString
If you want to allow the user to be able to type in a string during GetPoint.Get(), GetObject::GetObjects(), etc., then call AcceptString(true) before calling GetPoint()/GetObject(). If the user chooses to type in a string, then the result code GetResult.String is returned and you can use RhinoGet.String() to get the value of the string.
(Inherited from GetBaseClass.)
Public methodAcceptUndo
If you want to allow the user to have an 'undo' option in GetPoint.Get(), GetObject.GetObjects(), etc., then call AcceptUndo(true) beforehand.
