My updateParameters function has some logic to raise a Messagebox that displays the value selected by the user in param0. Works fine except that for some reason, the value is being sliced - I'm only getting the first letter of the selected parameter. I also added an AddMessage function to the execute function to print the selected parameter to the Results Window. That actually gives me the full value, so perhaps it is my Messagebox function that is slicing it but I don't think so. Anyone have any insight?

Looks like your problem is described here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/14656832 Cast the Message to string and then it works fine: import ctypes buttonPressed = ctypes . windll . user32 . MessageBoxA ( 0 , str ( Message ) , Title , ButtonStyle | MB_STYLE | 0x40000 ) return buttonPressed

There's nothing crazy going on here. Only thing out of the ordinary is that MessageBox function.

Here's the weird thing. My updateParameters function has some logic to raise a Messagebox that displays the value selected by the user in param0. Works fine except that for some reason, the value is being sliced - I'm only getting the first letter of the selected parameter.

I also added an AddMessage function to the execute function to print the selected parameter to the Results Window. That actually gives me the full value, so perhaps it is my Messagebox function that is slicing it but I don't think so.

Anyone have any insight?

Looks like your problem is described here:

Cast the Message to string and then it works fine:

This approach is really at cross-purposes with the ArcGIS geoprocessing architecture, which is a client-server model designed to enable the tool to be run the desktop, in the background, or as a geoprocessing service on a server.

Maybe I'm missing something but that doesn't explain why parameters[0].valueAsText would return just the first character. You can see how the list is being created. It's a static list. There's no reason I should have to slice it.
Having to slice the list would make the purpose of the valueAsText property meaningless since I'd never be able to determine the currently selected value from the ValueList

DanPatterson_Retired

getting close then so it needed a slice... did you try [0:]

sometimes it depends on how the list was created.

a <SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN> list<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN><SPAN class="string token">'Banana'</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN>
a<SPAN class="punctuation token">[</SPAN><SPAN class="number token">0</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">]</SPAN>
B'

Tried that about an hour ago.

'list' object has no attribute 'valueAsText'

DanPatterson_Retired

coincidental that parameters[0] just happens to correspond with B (utter)... and I presume that you dropped the [0] on a lark to see if it was the slice (might return an error)... To even go further try [0:] to see if the parameters is treating every letter as an entry (still need a python toolbox I see )
