Hi! :)
I try to get the name of an description id. The console of c4d does exactly what I try to get. Drop a field of the attribute manager to the command line and the id is replaced by a string.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks..

Howdy,
Have a look at this thread:
Debug console printing
There toward the end, Mikael Sterner has some debugging routines that print other types to the console. One of the types to print is: DescIDToString()
Maybe that's what you're looking to do?
Adios,

Howdy,
Oh, you want the "name" of the description, is that what's listed here in the SDK documentation:
To get the name of a description, for example "Landscape Object", you do like this:
String GetTypeName(C4DAtom* op)
{
if (op)
{
AutoAlloc<Description> desc; if (!desc) return String();
if (!op->GetDescription(desc,0)) return String();
const BaseContainer *bc = desc->GetParameterI(DESCID_ROOT,NULL);
if (bc) return bc->GetString(DESC_NAME);
}
return String();
}
is that what you were looking to do?
Adios,
Cactus Dan

Hi! :)
Thank you. Here is a screenshot what I want to get. Drag and drop the element of the AM into the console.
Thank you...

Howdy,
Hmmmm, that looks like the ID's label from enum in the object's header file. You may have to access the .h, and search for the ID number and then see what string of characters is on the same line. I don't know if the parameter's ID label is stored anywhere in memory when it's loaded. :o(

Hm... so you think there is no other way to do it?
Matthias, do you know? Is it the right way?
Thx.

Howdy,
Well, I noticed that even the command line won't print the label if the description is created in GetDDescription(), for example if a tag has the ability to add target links. The .h file may have an ID label of "TARGETS" but if it's not laid out in the .res, and instead created in GetDDescription(), then the command line only prints the ID number. So maybe it's getting the label from the .res file? if that's the case, I think the .res file is loaded into memory, but I don't know how to access that.
But you've got me curious about it, though, and I'm wondering why you would need to get the label of the ID, anyway?
Adios,
Cactus Dan

Heyho^,
well, I've written a console for my plugin because the normal one does not support a feature I want to use.
I wanted to support exactly the feature from the original console (drag and drop) and I prefered to use this labels instead of the ID's.
It seems I have to use the normal IDs.
Bye bye...

Howdy,
AH, your own console? That's cool! ;o)
But anyway, when Matthias gets back, he can find out if that is accessible to us 3rd party developers. If Cinema can do it, then there is a way. It's just a matter of whether or not we have access to that way. :o(

Here a little example that prints out all the ID names of an object's description. Basically you access it through the DESC_IDENT container element.
