Hey everyone,

First of all i'm new to making plugins for c4d with python. The Documentation and everything in general is still pretty confusing. I'm scripting with python and i just can't figure out how to solve the following:

I would like to create a LINKBOX that can hold an unlimited amount of objects (like effectorlists can). I was unfortunatly unable to find out how to do that in the c4d python documentation in de GUI chapter (Or in any other one).

Help is much appreciated! :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks,

Aurel

Not sure about Python, but in C++ you would use an In_Exclude List Description.

Hi Amedo,

the InExcludeData is the internal representation of the INEXCLUDE description element.

Thanks so much! It's hard to find something when you don't even know what it's called! And man those answers came fast - Love the forum ;)

Hey guys,

I found out how to work with Inexclude, and i looked through the documentation again, but under the

module - c4d.gui
gui and interaction
in the c4d python documentation I wasn't able to find out anything about how to actually get the inexclude list to appear in the object properties, so that the user can actually drag and drop elements into it. I only find the already mentioned linkbox and how to make editable splines and gradients etc.

Thanks,

Aurel

you'll find it under c4d.CustomDataType.InExcludeData - the main c4d page in the 
sdk documentation.

Thanks for your help, i finally figured it out ^^

I didn't mention that i'm using a .res file to create the dialog. I was unable to find any documentation on how to get IN_EXCLUDE into the UI. But I finally found it in the c++ docs...
