Hi,
how do I change dynamicly a parameter in a Container of a res-file?

I start with these res-file:

> \> CONTAINER Tmytagplugin \> { \>     NAME Tmytagplugin; \>     INCLUDE Texpression; \> \>     GROUP ID_TAGPROPERTIES \>     { \>           LINK PARENT { } \>           BOOL UP_VEC { } \>           LINK UP_VECTOR { HIDDEN;} \>     } \> } \>

I want to show the 3. Option "UP_VECTOR" in the Attribute-Manager, if the boolean UP_VEC is enabled.

The problem is, I don't know how to access the description in the right way:

I have only access to
> MyTagPlugin::Init(GeListNode \*node)

and

> MyTagPlugin::Execute(PluginTag \*tag, BaseDocument \*doc, BaseObject \*op, BaseThread \*bt, LONG priority, LONG flags)

but how can I access my description?

furthermore I don't know how to use:
Bool SetParameter(const DescID & id, const BaseContainer& param, const DescID& groupid);

DescID id => DESC_HIDE
DescID groupid => UP_VECTOR
but how should i create the BaseContainer param ??

I would prefer some examples...

You have to overload GetDDescription() for dynamic descriptions. Check the MorphMixer and the LookAtCamera SDK examples for the use of it.

Thanks, for the fast reply
Now it works!
The stuff with the DescIDs (DescLevel) was a bit difficult..
but the LookAtCamera-Example was very helpful!
