User Information:
ResEdit Version:   R8

---------
I use a lot the ReEdit, but it some case I get Error in it when I open
The typical exemple is the Color C4D object

To show all stuff in it, I have to say OEPN , ok ois save and work fine
But when I ReOpen the Dialog in the reEdit it show an error , I have to go in the code to remove the OPEN;
Also I try to use HTe links Object and try to make some change
TO acpet or exclude stuff in it. There aloso is a problem.

Just for you to Know I use all that in a standard GeDialog overLoad Class

This was a bug. Thanks. You may use the normal color chooser (instead of the custom GUI).

Currently you can't change the accepted / refused objects in ResEdit. You can modify the accepted objects in your dialog GeDialog::Command function. The container elements are:

    
    
    #define LINKBOX_ACCEPT_MESSAGE_TYPE         1       // LONG  - the type of the item dragged in the link box  
    #define LINKBOX_ACCEPT_MESSAGE_ELEMENT      2       // a pointer (BaseList2D* ) to the object cast to LONG  
    #define LINKBOX_ACCEPT_MESSAGE_ACCEPT       3       // a pointer to a Bool, cast to long (set this value to TRUE, if you want to accept the object)  
    #define LINKBOX_ACCEPT_MESSAGE_CONTROL_ID   4       // the ID of the control that sent the message

Thanks

It start to come :)

Bit I thinks I Miss one part there... I'm New in thois SDK, I know C++ but not much the C4D SDK.

So at the base in the dialog I set it that way

class AmaToolsDialog : public GeDialog
{
     private:
          ...
          
          Filename MatFileToScan;
     
          bool ValidePoserFile;
                    
          BaseLink *FigureLink;
          BaseLink *MatToCopyLink;
          BaseLink *MatMatToolsLink;

LONG count;

public:
          ...

};

but now in the GeDialog::command
I never see those LINKBOX_ACCEPT_MESSAGE_TYPE, etc...
I look in your code an I see a "LinkBoxGui" where it show those messages etc...

But how to Construct this LinkBoxGui ?

any it work now, but can test the Accept etc. and also can't show the Link when I reopen my dialog :(

Well is not that important, so take your time and pass good Holidays

Your Message function should be called as soon as the user drags an item over the link box. Sorry, I was wrong in my previous post. It's the message function. The Container ID is MSG_DESCRIPTION_CHECKDRAGANDDROP.
I have just tested and it works:

    
    
      
    LONG YourDialogClass::Message(const BaseContainer &msg, BaseContainer &result)  
    {  
      if (msg.GetId() == MSG_DESCRIPTION_CHECKDRAGANDDROP)  
      {  
        LONG item_type = msg.GetLong(LINKBOX_ACCEPT_MESSAGE_TYPE);  
        BaseList2D* obj = (BaseList2D* )msg.GetLong(LINKBOX_ACCEPT_MESSAGE_ELEMENT);  
        Bool *accept = (Bool* )msg.GetLong(LINKBOX_ACCEPT_MESSAGE_ACCEPT);  
        LONG linkbox_id = msg.GetLong(LINKBOX_ACCEPT_MESSAGE_CONTROL_ID);  
        // set *accept TRUE, if the object should be accepted, FALSE otherwise.  
      }  
      return SubDialog::Message(msg, result);  
    }  
    

> But how to Construct this LinkBoxGui ?
You don't need to construct it. It's done when the dialog is created. You can find the pointer with GeDialog::FindCustomGui.

Use LinkBoxGui::SetLink in InitValues.

I will have others stupid questions but I let you pass the holidays now...
