My plugin selects the first light source in
the active scene. Changes are reported with

m_doc->GetChanged(); in the Timer() Method.
This works fine.

When I open a new (2nd) scene, my plugin should
recognize that there is a new active scene,
from which it should get its 1st light source,
instead of pointing to the "old" scenes light.

Whats the command (handler/event?) to get
informed about a document change?

If that's not possible, I'd like to give a
Combo-List with the opened documents like
in the end of the Menu/Window.

Any hints?
Thanks!

Sorry for wasting your time with
silly question.
The solution was next to me:

if (m_doc != GetActiveDocument()) {
    m_doc = GetActiveDocument();
}

Tested in Timer(...){ } makes the
opened document available for the
plugin.

Hello,

I have similar questions about detecting a document switch.
We are trying to get our plugin working correctly with Cinema 4D's multiple document functionality (e.g. you can have multiple C4D files open within a single C4D application).

Therefore I also figured that simply comparing GetActiveDocument() with our own ActiveDocument variable works.

But the question is; where can I do this comparison? I found that MSG_DOCUMENTINFO_TYPE_SAVE_AFTER is called during every switch of documents. However, the problem is that this is called before it switches over to the new document. Needed is the moment after the document switch.

Any ideas?
