hey! just wondering if it is "legal" to add if statements to .res descritotion files for a custom plugin. The reason i ask is because im trying to figure out the best way to make a attribute of an object plugin disappear and appear based upon what other attributes are turned on and off. (for example, a boolean switch will display and hide a menu within the plugin). if this is not a good idea, mabye someone could point me in the right direction. Thanks for the help in advance guys!

No.
To do what you want to do involves using dynamic descriptions through the plugin's GetDDescription() method.

Thanks for the tutorial Steve.
I have a tag plugin I made using a bunch of common tasks that I use as a reference for how to set up the various GUI items. And I'm going to add this to it.

Cheers Scott. Glad you found it useful. (I write these for my own benefit as much as anyone's - I can never remember the exact steps to take when I need to do something like this for a new plugin.)
