hi... im new to scripting... how to dynamically update the "label" while selecting edges in Editable poly--- the idea is i want to update the label to the "number of edges selected"... ive started a script already but i dont know how to write the code to dynamically update it... i think its a callback thing... thanks in advance....
this is the script..

rollout test "test"
(
label label1 "test label"
fn labelcallback =
(
label1.text = ($.selectedEdges.count as string) + " edges selected"
)

on test open do labelcallback()
)
createDialog test

Hi ....

you can use this function:


registerRedrawViewsCallback <fn>
-- and
unRegisterRedrawViewsCallback <fn>

such as :


rollout test "test"
(
label label1 "test label"
fn labelcallback =
(
label1.text = ($.selectedEdges.count as string) + " edges selected"
)

on test open do registerRedrawViewsCallback labelcallback
on test close do unRegisterRedrawViewsCallback labelcallback
)
createDialog test
