Hi, I'm working on a plugin that needs a dynamic interface, sort of like Xpresso or the Hypergraph in Maya. I want to enable the user to link together a hierarchy of joints (each one of them with inputs and outputs) before creating them. A hierarchical represaentation like in the Object manager would also be satisfying. Any ideas on this one?

Thx

Well this is already really advanced GUI stuff so be warned. First you have to check for the MSG_EDIT message in your node (tags, objects etc). Within MSG_EDIT you can bring up a async dialog with a GeUserArea. Within the GeUserArea you can do now what ever you want to display (draw lines, bitmaps, text etc.). The Asynctest SDK example uses a GeUserArea to display a gradient within a async dialog. This may be a good starting point to learn about user areas.

cheers,

Howdy,

Take a look at the ActiveObject.cpp in the cinema4dsdk project, and the TreeviewFunctions. ;o)

Adios,

Cactus Dan is right, I didn't realize you only wanted to display some sort of hierachy. The TreeView custom gui would be the right thing to use.
