[scripting - python] - GridData - SetCell Error

["Cornelius Porzig" <xsilist(at)connimation.de>]

Hi all,

I have created a custom property with the custom property wizard with a Grid(Data) parameter. Now I want to set the rows and columns and initialize the values. This is my code (excerpt) I try to use  in the script:

 

for i in range(oShotGrid.RowCount):

                               xsiPrint(oValidNodes[i].Film.Value)                                      #value = “TestFilm”

                               oShotGrid.SetRowLabel(i, oValidNodes[i].Name)

                               oShotGrid.SetCell(0,i, oValidNodes[i].Film.Value)

                               oShotGrid.SetCell(1,i, oValidNodes[i].Shot.Value)

                               oShotGrid.SetCell(2,i, oValidNodes[i].Camera.Value)

                               oShotGrid.SetCell(3,i, oValidNodes[i].Startframe.Value)

                               oShotGrid.SetCell(4,i, oValidNodes[i].Endframe.Value)

 

 

However when I open the property page for it, I get the following error(s):

 

# INFO : TestFilm

# ERROR : 2028 - Traceback (most recent call last):

#   File "<Script Block >", line 189, in CP_Render_Dialog_OnInit

The RowLabel is set correctly on the property page, however the first field is empty. (The other fields are not displayed.) The values, I try to set, are strings. I also tried Integers or Boolean values but I always get this error. The SDK documentation writes, that the CellValue type is  “Variant”  and the win32com module has to be linked.  I import it at the beginning of the script with:

 

import win32com.client

from win32com.client import constants

 

At the moment I don’t know any further and googling my problem revealed no clues. Any ideas, what I am doing wrong?

Kind regards and thanks in advance,
