I've found that GeDialog::SetLong, etc always return FALSE, even when
they succeed.

This used to only happen to me under WinXP (which has been C4D v8.5
for some time), but now happens under MacOSX, too (since upgrading to
v8.5).

Has anyone else seen this?

.angus.
PS: I've only tried this using GeModalDialog

Yeah, I verified this. Actually this even turned out to be the cause of some subtle bugs introduced in my MSA plugin for 8.5, since many functions checked those return values. (Note to self: always fail early to avoid such bugs.)

I've asked the developers if they have any good explanations, but either way the only workaround would seem to be to ignore the value. (Possibly pairing each Set-call with a Get-call to verify the value.)

As suspected, there is a bug in the current C4D version. So I'd advise everyone to ignore the return value of those functions. Also, please note that one unfortunate side-effect of the bug is that SetVectorReal() will only write the first value so that function can't be used.
