I'm on 2023.2.2 in C++.
My CommandData plugin creates a cube and inserts it into the document yet the object manager does not show the cube until I select it in the viewport.
Code:
Bool MyCommand::Execute(BaseDocument* doc, GeDialog* parentManager)
{
auto cube = BaseObject::Alloc(Ocube);
doc->InsertObject(cube, nullptr, nullptr, false);
EventAdd();
return true;
}
I was hoping the call to EventAdd would fix that but it doesn't.
What does work however is making the cube the active object after inserting it.
Bool MyCommand::Execute(BaseDocument* doc, GeDialog* parentManager)
{
auto cube = BaseObject::Alloc(Ocube);
doc->InsertObject(cube, nullptr, nullptr, false);
doc->SetActiveObject(cube);
return true;
}
Note how apparently I don't even need to call EventAdd anymore.
Then again if I want to support undo I do need EventAdd again or the object manager won't update anymore.
Bool MyCommand::Execute(BaseDocument* doc, GeDialog* parentManager)
{
auto cube = BaseObject::Alloc(Ocube);
doc->StartUndo();
doc->InsertObject(cube, nullptr, nullptr, false);
doc->AddUndo(UNDOTYPE::NEWOBJ, cube);
doc->EndUndo();
doc->SetActiveObject(cube);
EventAdd();
return true;
}
My question is: Why does the first code not update the object manager?
