[Bf-python] invoke_confirm with custom confirm message?

[Dalai Felinto]

Hi,

First a question, is it possible to have a custom message when I use
invoke_confirm?

Apparently there is not, and the not-so-nice alternative is to use
invoke_props_dialog and have my own draw() function.

Assuming that it's not possible, would that be a nice addition?
I think I can do that myself, but I would like to get 'design approval'
first.

My proposal is to do:
context.window_manager.invoke_confirm(self, event, text="Are you sure you
want to do whatever with object \"{0}\"".format(context.object))

I may do it anyways for a project I'm working on. But it would be nicer if
it can be incorporated back in Blender.

(also I may not do it any soon, so if anyone wants to do first, be my guest)

Cheers,
Dalai

Have you looked into using a custom python popup?

For the records, I found a workaround/solution.

Basically my operator bl_label is the message I want to ask, and in the ui
I change the displayed text.

bl_label = "Are you sure you want to remove all objects?"
layout.operator("object.delete_all_my", text="Delete All")

I even tried to change the bl_label, but that asserts Blender:

def invoke(self, context, event):
self.bl_label = "Object: {0}".format(context.active_object.name)
return context.window_manager.invoke_confirm(self, event)

Assertion failed: (!"setting the bl_label on a non-builtin operator"),
function rna_Operator_bl_label_set, file
/Users/dfelinto/blender/blender-svn/blender/source/blender/makesrna/intern/rna_wm.c,
line 1329.


Anyways, I'm happy with the solution I have now. But I will certainly look
at custom python popup later. Thanks.

Dalai
