---------
I have my own object and want to edit the member variables of my object through a DescriptionCustomGui:
Here my source (i'm doing all steps as described in the docs) :
In Oworld.res
CONTAINER Oworld
{
NAME Oworld;
GROUP ID_TEMPOBJECTPROPERTIES
{
STRING TEMPOBJECT_ID { }
}
}
In Oworld.h
#ifndef _Oworld_H_
#define _Oworld_H_
enum
{
TEMPOBJECT_ID = 3000,
ID_TEMPOBJECTPROPERTIES= 3001,
Oworld = 3002
};
#endif
 
In Oworld.str.
STRINGTABLE Oworld
{
Oworld "World";
}
In my mainapp:
...
#include "Oworld.h"
...
//i want to assign my "CONTAINER" Oworld to the CUSTOMGUI_DESCRIPTION
void* desc = FindCustomGui_(IDC_CUSTOM2, CUSTOMGUI_DESCRIPTION);
if(desc != NULL)
{
//sample with C4D-Objects
PluginObject* pObj1 = PluginObject::Alloc(Olight); //it works with Olight, Oplane
//my object
PluginObject* pObj2 = PluginObject::Alloc(Oworld); //doesn't work, pObj2 is NULL
//later i will do:
if(pObj2 != NULL)
{
((DescriptionCustomGui* )desc)->SetObject(pObj);
}
}
...
Where is my mistake.
Thanks for all replys.

Howdy,

I'm not absolutely sure, but don't you need to include the line...

INCLUDE Obase

...right after NAME Oworld?

Adios,

You also need to create a NodeData class, for example "WorldObjectData : public ObjectData" in order to be able to use PluginObject::Alloc(Oworld). Set the description string of the class to "Oworld" in RegisterObjectPlugin().

Thanks, Mikael.
I did the changes and i get an allocated object of my type Oworld. But when i want to assign the object to my DescriptionCustomGui, i dont see anything. Should i not expect to see my CONTAINER from the Oworld.res file in the DescriptionCustomGui?

...
PluginObject* pObj = PluginObject::Alloc(Oworld);
if(pObj != NULL)
{   ((DescriptionCustomGui* )desc)->SetObject(pObj); //here i dont see anything in the DescriptionCustomGui
}
...

After trying a lot i found one solution:
The allocated PluginObject must inserted in an allocated BaseDocument. And this document must inserted to C4D. After that, the DescriptionCustomGui shows the assigned PluginObject.
BaseDocument* basedoc = BaseDocument::Alloc();
InsertBaseDocument(basedoc);
PluginObject* pObj = PluginObject::Alloc(Oworld);
basedoc->InsertObject(pObj,0,0,FALSE);
But i have not found any solution to hide the document from the user.
Is there a way to allocate a BaseDocument and assign it to C4D without showing it to the user?
Thanks, Torsten

No, inserted documents are always visible. I guess DESCRIPTION_OBJECTSNOTINDOC solved the problem anyway?
