Hello,
has anybody a code sample or any hint, how to add and remove items to a cycle/combobox? I tried a lot, but can't get it working.
P.S.: I created the combobox in GetDDescription().
Thanks for any help.

Put them in the DESC_CYCLE subcontainer of the description.

Thank you Mikael.
But i posted my question 2 weeks ago, tried everything, but can't get a solution. Maybe, i don't understand the usage of Subcontainers.
I create my Combobox in GetDDescription
...
BaseContainer unit = GetCustomDataTypeDefault(DTYPE_LONG);
unit.SetString(DESC_NAME, "Active Object");
unit.SetContainer(DESC_CYCLE, cycle);
DescID descid(DescLevel(ACTIVEOBJECTINDEX, DTYPE_LONG, ID_OSCENE));
if (!description->SetParameter(descid, unit, DescLevel(ID_OBJECTPROPERTIES)))
return false;
...1. i tried to save "unit" for later use as a member variable, but it doesn't work.
2. I tried to access the BaseContainer of my combobox, but what's the id of the container (descid ???)Thanks for all replies.

I can access the combobox as Mikael said through DESC_CYCLE. But adding items doesn't work:
void AddItems()
{ AutoAlloc<Description> desc;
if (!desc)
{ return;
}
if(!((PluginObject* )this)->GetDescription(desc,0))
{ return;
}
const BaseContainer *descbase = desc->GetParameterI(DescLevel(ACTIVEOBJECTINDEX),NULL);
if(descbase )
{ BaseContainer *combobox = descbase ->GetContainerInstance(DESC_CYCLE);
if(combobox != NULL)
{ GePrint("Container found");
//Container OK, now add items
combobox->SetString(10,"Test1");
combobox->SetString(11,"Test2");
}
}
}What's wrong?

Howdy,
Well, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't your code need to be inside MyPlugin::GetDDescription()?
Adios,

Maybe, that the only way to manipulate the combobox is in GetDDescription. Is that so?Torsten

Howdy,
Yes, I believe GetDDescription() is constantly called so your descriptions would be getting rebuilt all the time.
Adios,
