    I'm trying to add my own tag plugin to an object from inside a GeDialog plugin.
    To do this I assume we need to use Tplugin?
    The SDK says to pass the plugin's ID to Tplugin. But it doesn't say how to do that.
    Pass it how?

    Suppose I have a tag plugin with the ID#1000003.
    When I'm in my GeDialog plugin I can search for it like this:

    BasePlugin *myplugin = FindPlugin(1000003, PLUGINTYPE_ANY);  
  if(!myplugin) return FALSE;

    Yup...It's there and I can see it from inside my GeDialog plugin.
    So now I go about trying to create the tag:

    BaseObject *active = doc->GetActiveObject();  
BaseTag *myTag = active->MakeTag(Tplugin);  
Now what?  
How do I "pass" the ID#1000003 to the tag?

    I still have no idea what Tplugin is used for.

    I think Tplugin is meant to check if a tag is a registered plugin with C4DAtom::IsInstanceOf(Tplugin).
