Hello

Getting to know C++ with C4D R12 better. Starting to get ideas. But here I have a little problem:

In a tool I am working on I am not sure when InitTool and FreeTool get called. I *thought* InitTool would happen every time my tool's dialog pops up and EndTool when it goes away.

But it looks as InitTool only happens the first time it gets called. Am I missing something?

Are there other ways to update the contents of my dialog upon showing it?

Thanks

Peter

As always, I am assuming when nobody responds to question it must be really stupid.

And it was. Because I do get the FreeTool message when I select another tool (not just selecting an object, which is what I did). And then, when I re-enter my plugin I do properly receive the InitTool message.

So there.

Thanks

Peter
