Methinks that you are mixing metaphors, as it were. You CANNOT use Description resource elements in a Dialog resource and vice versa. Just add a SLIDER instead of REAL (the latter being a description resource and will not work).

Thanks for answer!

Now I see about that...
And if so, how can I use and control a 'EDITSLIDER' in dialog?

And is there any ways to get a detail information about error? c4d is saying just 'error line xx'

You already have the EDITSLIDER in your dialog - remove the REAL ... line. Using and controlling it is done within the methods of your GeDialog-extended class (Command(), Message(), Init() are good places to look).

Use SetReal() and GetReal() to set and get the slider values.

To check for user changes, add the Command() method and check the 'id' argument (in a switch perhaps) :

switch(id) {
...
case SLIDER_PICTURE:     ActOnSliderPicture(msg.GetReal(BFM_ACTION_VALUE));     break;
...
}

The error is in the resource file (.res) or in the string file (.str). It only shows the line that couldn't be parsed properly. The error is that REAL is not valid for a GeDialog resource (and you shouldn't use an id more than once otherwise you'll confuse Cinema - which element was it?)

Yeah when I deleted the REAL there was no error,
but it couldn't control, so i asked again~

Anyway now i can go to a next step, thank you Robert!
