Summary: Demonstrates how to display the Flamingo nXt legacy plant browser.

I am trying to figure out how to display the Flamingo 2.0 legacy plant browser so a user can choose a plant. What can I do?

The following are examples of how to display the Flamingo 2.0 legacy plant browser so a user can choose a plant

RhinoScript

Option Explicit
 
Call Main()
 
Sub Main()
	Dim objPlugIn, plant
	On Error Resume Next
	Set objPlugIn = Rhino.GetPluginObject("8008880f-8d13-4b2d-92b0-727e12878a4c")
	If Err Then
		MsgBox Err.Description
		Exit Sub
	End If
  plant = objPlugIn.ModalFlamingo2PlantBrowser("", "", "")
  If Not IsNull(plant) Then
    Rhino.Print("Library(" & plant(0) & ") Folder(" & plant(1) & ") Plant(" & plant(2) & ")")
	End If
	Set objPlugIn = Nothing
End Sub

Python

import clr
# Load the Flamingo nXt SDK DLL
clr.AddReference("FlamingoNXtSDK")
import FlamingoNXtSDK
import scriptcontext
# Get the Flamingo nXt plug-in's SDK implimentaion, this will force the
# plug-in to load if it is not currently loaded
flSDK = FlamingoNXtSDK.SDK.FlamingoSDK
 
def GetSticky(name, default = ""):
    if scriptcontext.sticky.has_key(name): return scriptcontext.sticky[name]
    return default
 
def GetLegacyPlantPath():
    plantLib = GetSticky("LegacyPlantLib")
    plantFolder = GetSticky("LegacyPlantFolder")
    plantName = GetSticky("LegacyPlantName")
    result, plantLib, plantFolder, plantName = flSDK.ModalFlamingo2PlantBrowser(None, plantLib, plantFolder, plantName)
    if not result: return
    scriptcontext.sticky["LegacyPlantLib"] = plantLib
    scriptcontext.sticky["LegacyPlantFolder"] = plantFolder
    scriptcontext.sticky["LegacyPlantName"] = plantName
    return plantLib, plantFolder, plantName
 
if __name__=="__main__":
    GetLegacyPlantPath()
