I would like to write my own XPresso result node, adding further data "types" to the list. Is there a documented way to do this?
Is there any XPresso node plugin code available?
Thanks!

Hi Kabe :)
How are you? The class GvOperatorData should do that for you.
Override the methods and register this class to get your own node.
Here is an example:
*click*
Search keyword: GvOperatorData
In the SDK you find an example to create custom datatypes - take a look :)
Bye...

Also don't forget to check the description files (gvresult.res, gvresult.h, gvresult.str) for the node's interface description.
