Hey,

How should I define layout for ICENode? The usual method “myICENode_DefineLayout” never gets invoked. Any ideas?

I think you’re looking for this:
Customizing ICE compound property pages (PPGs)

Thanks for the hint, I didn’t know about it.
However it’s not what I was looking for. I’m writing a C++ ICE node and not a compound node. It needs some UI like buttons, comboboxes and so on, and I don’t know how to handle it. Whereas, I have no problem with it with standard CustomOperator.
It seems possible since most of default ICE nodes have quite complex UI. Any pointers?

afaik, you’ll have to provide a pre-built compound to customize the PPG.

you cannot write any custom layout or script logic for ICE node property pages.

Let me specify the problem a bit.
What I’m looking for is ComboBox control as Clamp Mode in “Add Color” ICE Node and disabled text field and browser button as in “File Path Sequence” ICE Node.
Both, afik, are not compounds. I know they’re builtin, but does it mean Softimage builtin plugins use hacky way of defining layout?

Thanks,
