Hi!

I have a beginner question. I have an object in a document and want to change its position in a ToolData::MouseInput.

> <code>

> }</code>

Currently the objects position is not updated in the editr until I clicked on the object. I guess I have to update the object or document. I tried MSG_UPDATE or MSG_CHANGE which did not work.

Which Message needs to be sent (object? document?) ?

Thanks a lot.

This might work (and a little more error checking)

BaseDocument* doc = GetActiveDocument();
if (!doc) return FALSE;
BaseObject* obj = doc->GetFirstObject();
if (!obj) return FALSE;
obj->SetPos(Vector(100.0f));
obj->Message(MSG_UPDATE);
// For asynchronous AM update while in Mouse loop
GeSyncMessage(EVMSG_ASYNCEDITORMOVE);
// Update display to show drag results
DrawViews(DA_ONLY_ACTIVE_VIEW|DA_NO_THREAD|DA_NO_ANIMATION);
return TRUE;
