I created a dialog using Resedit and, in it, I placed a Registered [2D Vector Field].
How can I set and get values from it, in COFFEE?
Thank you for any reply.

So, I assume that there isn't any way to do it, right?

Hello Rui,
check out the basecontainer class in the coffee docs, you should be able to set a value that way.
Get the basecontainer of your plugin and call SetVector(..) with the ID of your description element, and the value that you want to set it to.
c++ example :
------------------
// get baseContainer.
// op is your plugin object, generator, or tag for example
BaseContainer* bc = op->GetDataInstance();
// set value
bc->SetVector(ID,Vector(0.0,0.0,0.0));
Im no coffee guru, but in c++ you'd do it like that, IIRC.

Daniel

Thank you for your reply, Daniel.
I tried it and SetVector simply doesn't exists (Member not found).
I also tried with SetData and with SetValue but no dice 
Then I remembered that colors are simply vectors so I tried setting the vector with SetColorField and it worked. Well, at least it returned no error.
But the 2D Vector shows no cross in it and I can't even edit the X and Y fields. Does this field works in COFFEE at all?
Thank you for any reply.

Hi Rui,
I do not use COFFEE much anymore so I don't remember exactly what command to use. But in the process of making the current plugin I am working on I found that if you right click on any dialog object in c4d and then go to SHOW HELP. It will show you the Constants that have been used for each description. Might not help you in this case as you already know this info but that might be useful in the future.

Hello Shawn
What do you mean by dialog object? What and where do I right-click?

Hi,
userdata access in COFFEE seems to be somewhat limited.
You might want to check out these threads for some info though:

The Vector2D GUI element is a custom GUI element and COFFEE can't really access custom GUIs especially in dialogs. It is somewhat possible in descriptions with the use of sub-channels.
cheers,
