sorry Matthias,
my bad english :(
i am working on a plugin material ( material data ) very similar to standard c4d material.
i'dd like to add or remove channel from material iterface with GetDDescription.
for example if user need one more specular channel can add it in the left list and parameter in rigth part of material editor.
if i use description resource and i include Mbase to add a new channel i have to create it in Obaselist GROUP, but i can't find the way to accesto this via getddescription.
hope this help.
thanks in advance
Franz

Here is a simple example, a material with one channel that you can switch on and off.

Hello Matthias,
Thanks for reply, as i undestand, you code show or hide dynamicaly a parameter in a material Channel.
i'dd like to add or remove dynamicaly the channel form left channel list.
locking in to your replye i think is no possible to do this.
a solution meaby can be write my own Material editor, with GeDialog , ok no problem, but can i override standard material editor on user double click on material in material manager and open my dialog "custom material manager"?
All the best
Franz
