hi,
I'm realy confused because i do not find any solution for my Problem. First of all I'm using C# wrapping  it with mono + swig to c++.
anyways So That's what i got

DescID cid = new DescID(new DescLevel(SCELETTEOBJECT_TYPE, C4dApi.DTYPE_LONG, 0));     
          BaseContainer bcArme = C4dApi.GetCustomDataTypeDefault(C4dApi.DTYPE_LONG);
          bcArme.SetString(C4dApi.DESC_NAME, "Arme");
          bcArme.SetLong(C4dApi.DESC_DEFAULT, 2);
       
  if (!descparams.Desc.SetParameter(cid, bcArme, new DescID(new DescLevel(C4dApi.ID_OBJECTPROPERTIES))))
              return true;

BaseContainer bcArme2 = C4dApi.GetCustomDataTypeDefault(C4dApi.DTYPE_LONG);                 
          bcArme2.SetString(C4dApi.DESC_NAME, "Finger");                                              
          bcArme2.SetLong(C4dApi.DESC_DEFAULT, 5);
          //bcAuswahl.SetString(C4dApi.DESC_DEFAULT, "st2");                                                     
          if (!descparams.Desc.SetParameter(cid, bcArme2, new DescID(new DescLevel(C4dApi.ID_OBJECTPROPERTIES))))
              return true;

BaseContainer bcSEP = C4dApi.GetCustomDataTypeDefault(C4dApi.DTYPE_SEPARATOR);                
          bcSEP.SetLong(C4dApi.DESC_SEPARATORLINE,C4dApi.DTYPE_SEPARATOR);
 if (!descparams.Desc.SetParameter(cid, bcSEP, new DescID(new DescLevel(C4dApi.ID_OBJECTPROPERTIES))))
              return true;

cid = new DescID(new DescLevel(CIRCLEOBJECT_CHECKME, C4dApi.DTYPE_BOOL, 0));
          BaseContainer bcCheck = C4dApi.GetCustomDataTypeDefault(C4dApi.DTYPE_BOOL);
          bcCheck.SetString(C4dApi.DESC_NAME, "Check");
          bcCheck.SetBool(C4dApi.DESC_DEFAULT, true);
          // Create the boolean check box under the previously created sub group (CIRCLEOBJECT_SUBGROUP)
          if (!descparams.Desc.SetParameter(cid, bcCheck, new DescID(new DescLevel(CIRCLEOBJECT_SUBGROUP))))
              return true;

I got the following Problems:

  • DESC_DEFAULT has no effect at all e.g. the checkbox, I set it as Defaul true if i open the plugin it's default
  • I do not get the Separator line
  • I Only get the last element @ ID_OBJECTPROPERTIES
  • No clue how to ad a selectbox (Like in the Editor if you Post you can select an Font such a Box I'm trying to accomplish)

any Ideas?

I get the same behavior. I will investigate more on that.

Here is how to setup a separator:

DescID cid = DescID(DescLevel(MY_SEPARATOR,DTYPE_SEPARATOR,0));
if (!singleid || cid.IsPartOf(*singleid,NULL)) // important to check for speedup c4d!
{
    BaseContainer bc = GetCustomDataTypeDefault(DTYPE_SEPARATOR);
    bc.SetLong(DESC_CUSTOMGUI, CUSTOMGUI_SEPARATOR);
    bc.SetBool(DESC_SEPARATORLINE, TRUE);
    bc.SetLong(DESC_ANIMATE, DESC_ANIMATE_OFF);
    bc.SetBool(DESC_REMOVEABLE, FALSE);
    bc.SetString(DESC_NAME, "");
    bc.SetString(DESC_SHORT_NAME, "");
    
    if (!description->SetParameter(cid,bc,DescLevel(ID_OBJECTPROPERTIES))) return FALSE;
}

If understand, you only get the last parameter added ?

This is a ComboBox.

First of all thank you I got now the Separator 😉
Uhm yes i got only the last param but i solved it, I forgot to add for each element a new DescID

Ok thanks for the hint comboBox I know now what Ive to google for 😉

Update: OK I got it 😉
It wasn't ComboBox I had to look for it was CYCLE 😉
Anways Thank you VERY MUCH again!!!
