I'm trying to set up a list of render data, but when I try to set that data, there's no change in the document. Hoping someone here can tell me what I'm doing wrong.

BaseDocument* doc = GetActiveDocument();
RenderData* rd = doc->GetActiveRenderData();

AutoAlloc<RenderData> newRD;
if(!newRD) return FALSE;
newRD->SetName("test");
BaseContainer* bctest = newRD->GetDataInstance();
//Test setting one element
bctest->SetLong(RDATA_XRES, 320);
doc->InsertRenderData(newRD, rd);
doc->SetActiveRenderData(newRD);

//Confirming newRD is set as active data
GePrint("Active render data is: " + doc->GetActiveRenderData()->GetName());
GePrint("Xres: " + LongToString(doc->GetActiveRenderData()->GetData().GetLong(RDATA_XRES)));

Console output confirms that active render data has been changed, but the render settings window does not change, and a test renders with the old settings.

AutoAlloc'ing a class instance and then inserting into a list is probably not a good idea. AutoAlloc automatically frees the instance when the AutoAlloc goes out of scope. Try this instead and see if there is a difference:

RenderData* newRD = RenderData::Alloc();
