Interlude.Form.Options

In Depth

Form.Options(description: "", height: null, resizable: true, showCancel: true, closeOnEscape: true, extraButtons: null, iconPath: "")

The less common form settings, for Form.Show's options port.

Form.Show already carries the settings most forms need. This holds the rest, so that the node everyone uses does not have thirty ports on it — window behaviour, extra buttons, and whether a cancel button appears at all.

The inputs are:

• description (string, defaults to "") — A paragraph shown above the first field.
• height (object, defaults to null) — Fixed window height. Null sizes the window to its contents.
• resizable (boolean, defaults to true) — Let the user resize the window.
• showCancel (boolean, defaults to true) — Show the cancel button.
• closeOnEscape (boolean, defaults to true) — Let Escape cancel the form.
• extraButtons (list of object, defaults to null) — Extra footer buttons, built with Layout.Button.
• iconPath (string, defaults to "") — Path to a window icon.

Returns options — The options.

About the Form nodes

Showing a form and getting the answers back.

A note on re-execution, because it surprises everyone once: Dynamo re-runs a graph whenever anything upstream changes, and a node that shows a dialog will show it again. Interlude does not pretend otherwise — it gives you the tools to control it. The trigger port skips the dialog and returns the last answers when it is false, so a form can be gated behind a button or a boolean. A form already on screen is never opened twice: a second execution waits for the first window and returns its result rather than stacking dialogs. And Manual run mode remains the right setting for any graph built around a form.
