Boundaries of Custom Properties 2005-06-14 - By Aloys Baillet

Hi here,
PPGs are fully dynamic, that means you can allways add or delete parameters
whenever you want.
The only thing that's less dynamic is the Layout property of the PPG: you
can add items to it (mostly parameters and buttons) and you can clear it
(delete ALL the items), that's all.
If you want to add a parameter at run-time, create it with a prefix, then
call a function that clears the Layout and add all the items inluding all
parameters beginnin with the prefix you specified.
The workflow I would try is:
Create the PPG with the basic parameters and a button to refresh the number
of clusters (bad news: user input is compulsory here).
In the OnInit, check the numbers of clusters of the parent geometry.
Unfortunately it seems that there is no way to create a scripted operator
that can read the number of clusters of a geometry (all you will get is an
Access Denied error message). But I might have missed something!
Good luck!
