    How do you get back the selected filename?
    I have a dialog (manually cretead) that shows the filename I can't find and below it the customgui_filename box, which lets me browse to the file I need. But I can't get the selected file back.

    Since I couldn't find an res for the container it uses, I tried creating both a string and a filename in id 0 of the container, to see if it would fill it in. No such luck! I assume I am using the basecontainer that I pass to the addcustomgui call, but I can't figure out how to get this last step to work. Is there some sample code showing how to recover data from a custom gui (I couldn't find anything in the docs or forum)? And how do you know what variables a customgui uses?

    (My previous issue with the material containers was I was using the enums I found for the material class - MATERIAL_COLOR_COLOR etc instead of CHANNEL_COLOR). Works now!

    Normally you would do something like gui->GetData().GetValue().GetFilename(). (The datatype of FilenameCustomGui is finally documented in the latest docs... :-)

    Do not understand - the only ref I can find is:

    class FilenameCustomGui : public BaseCustomGui<CUSTOMGUI_FILENAME>
    {
    FilenameCustomGui();
    public:

    };

    define CUSTOMGUI_FILENAME 1000478

    Does it actually say that is uses a single filename anywhere?

    Where can I see what data element(s) that a customgui creates/uses?
    ---

    I created it with -
    BaseContainer FileData;
    FilenameCustomGui *guiFile;
    guiFile = (FilenameCustomGui * )AddCustomGUI(100012,1000478,"Find File:",0,600,0,FileData);

    Runs and finds file.
    Tried -
    Filename myfilename;
    myfilename = guiFile->getData().getValue().getFilename();
    crashed.
    The GetValue returns the GEData.

    Why is the BaseContainer empty (index 0 = nullid)? Is It just used for input settings to those guis that need them?

    I also tried to preload index 0 with a filename, but it did not help, getFilename still crashed.

    What am I doing wrong here?

    Thanks,
    David

    What's crashing is the getData().
    Tried-
    TriState<GeData> myGE;
    myGE = guiFile->getData();

    Crashes. What am I missing? GE is non-zero from the AddCustomGui call.
