I'm completely helpless, I hope one of you guys knows the solution....
I want to do a custom gui derived from CustomGuiData. The SDK says:
 virtual CDialog* Alloc(const BaseContainer &settings)
  {
    T* dlg = gNew T(settings, GetPlugin());
    if (!dlg) return NULL;
  
    CDialog *cdlg = dlg->Get();
    if (!cdlg) return NULL;
    
    return cdlg;
  }
  
In the above

T

stands for a type derived from _<_a class=link href= "mk:@msitstore:d:\maxon\cinema_4d_r8\r8sdkchm2003-10-02.chm::/pages/c4d_gui/class_icustomgui458.html"_>_SPAN title=class iCustomGui : public SubDialog"> color=#606420iCustomGui/SPAN.
Ok, so I build a class iTreeViewGui : public iCustomGui, overwrite the virtual functions. When I try to compile, an error occurs at the line above in the Alloc with the gNew:
error C2660: 'iTreeViewGui::iTreeViewGui' : Function does not accept 2 parameters
Ok...so I tried to define a constructor with 2 parameters within iTreeViewGui, and within it just call the 2 parameter-constructor of iCustomGui.
Then the error error C2512: 'iCustomGui' : no standart constructor available occurs.
Fighting with it since about 2 hours now, and I'm really at the end of my wisdom...anyone out there who knows what I'm doing wrong????

Well....now I can compile it, but I'm definitely unhappy about my solution:
I opened c4d_gui.h and just gave the iCustomGui the thing what was missing....a standart constructor: iCustomGui(){};
That can't be the intended way to do it, right? What is the solution for it? Or am I the first man on earth deriving from iCustomGui? I'm really curious what the solution is......

The correct way to do it is:
class MyGui : public iCustomGui
{
public:
MyGui(const BaseContainer &settings,CUSTOMGUIPLUGIN *plugin);
}
MyGui::MyGui(const BaseContainer &settings,CUSTOMGUIPLUGIN *plugin) :
icustomGui(settings,plugin)
{
}
Please note, that this code is not tested yet, but it sounds logical, thanks to Tilo!

It works, just note the typing error of iCustomGui, in the last part I accidently wrote it with a small C.....
