My plugin i am creating uses a linked list to hold information about certain objects. The linked list is a public member variable of a Object Data plugin.

Now I would like to be able to access this link list from another plugin I develope, but im not sure how I can access the linked list from the other plugin.

Any ideas?

You could define your class in the other plugin and just cast it from the retrieved plugindata ( I thinks ). As I have told others, unless it is repeated insane speed issue use messaging. Simple, effective, and works. Of course you have to create a message for this to work. I use a BaseContainer for data and store the message function id in there as element 1000 and pass back info through BaseContainers only. Never had a problem.

Yeah I can second that. Use messaging in my plugins too and it´s a fast and easy way to exchange data.
