I know that I can place a button in a dialog for a TagData plugin.
But I can only override the Draw, Execute and AddToExecution methods.
Shouldn't I have a Command method to check for GUI elements?
How can I check if a button is pressed in the tag dialog?

You need to override the Message() function and look for messages of type 'MSG_DESCRIPTION_COMMAND'. You then get the DescriptionCommand structure and look for the ID of the button that was clicked in that.

Ok, I got it working, kind of...
When I print data, I get:

{'id': (1007, 8, 1028854)}

This means that it is a dict object, right?
So, when I do:

print data['id']

I get (1007, 8, 1028854)

The 1007 is the ID of the button. The 8, I assume that it is the type of GUI element, or something. The 1028854 is the ID of my tag.
So, how do I get the individual elements. It seems like a vector but I can't get the ID of the button with data'id'
So, how do we access those elements?

When I try something like:

bt=data['id'].id

it returns the error:

AttributeError: 'c4d.DescID' object has no attribute 'id'

There's an example in the Python docs:

  
def Message(self, node, type, data) :   
    if type==c4d.MSG_DESCRIPTION_COMMAND:   
        if data['id'][0].id==THE_BUTTON_ID:   
            print "Pushed button with command ID", THE_BUTTON_ID   
    return True

Once again, thank you
These things are so poorly documented
