Hi,
Most C4D Attribute Managers have at the top-right some icons, like search, new, etc.
I need a lock-icon for my plug, but I can't find out how to do this in code.
I'm not using a resource file for the layout.

You can add elements into the menu bar by enclosing it in a InMenuLine-block like this:
GroupBeginInMenuLine();
BaseContainer bc = GetCustomDataTypeDefault(CUSTOMGUI_BITMAPBUTTON);
bc.SetBool(BITMAPBUTTON_BUTTON, TRUE);
bc.SetBool(BITMAPBUTTON_TOGGLE, TRUE);
bc.SetLong(BITMAPBUTTON_ICONID1, LOCKICONID);
AddCustomGui(IDC_LOCK, CUSTOMGUI_BITMAPBUTTON, "", 0, 0, 0, bc)
GroupEnd();

Ah, thanks for that.
Are the 'LOCKICONID' and 'IDC_LOCK' not c4d constants ?, because the compiler cannot find them.
I also searched the whole resource directory with no result.
I thought these icons were standard C4D UI elements, but I should provide my own bitmaps ?

Here's a bit more code for you to chew on.
It also shows how to toggle the lock image in a GeDialog plugin.
BTW: All of this code is in the plugin's .cpp file
enum
{
LOCKBUTTON = 1003, //The ID for the inline lock button
_dummy
};
class myDialog : public GeDialog
{
private:
Bool lockState; //Used to control things in any of the plugin's methods
BitmapButtonCustomGui *lockButton;
public:
myDialog(void);
virtual Bool CreateLayout(void);
//Other virtual methods here...
};
Bool myDialog::CreateLayout(void)
{
//This code loads things from a .res file if desired
Bool res = TRUE;
res = LoadDialogResource(IDS_RESDIALOG,NULL,0);
//This code block creates an inline button with the locked/unlocked icon on it
GroupBeginInMenuLine();
BaseContainer bc = GetCustomDataTypeDefault(CUSTOMGUI_BITMAPBUTTON);
bc = GetCustomDataTypeDefault(CUSTOMGUI_BITMAPBUTTON);
bc.SetBool(BITMAPBUTTON_BUTTON, TRUE);
bc.SetBool(BITMAPBUTTON_TOGGLE, TRUE);
if(lockState) bc.SetLong(BITMAPBUTTON_ICONID1, -12679); //Lock icon
if(!lockState) bc.SetLong(BITMAPBUTTON_ICONID1, 12679); //Unlock icon
lockButton = (BitmapButtonCustomGui* )AddCustomGui(LOCKBUTTON, CUSTOMGUI_BITMAPBUTTON,"", 0,0,0,bc);
GroupEnd();
return res;
}
Bool myDialog::Command(LONG id, const BaseContainer &msg)
{
switch (id)
{
case LOCKBUTTON:
{
//Toggle this class level variable true/false so we can control things with it
lockState = !lockState;
//Toggle the icon image
if(lockState) lockButton->SetImage(-12679, FALSE);
else lockButton->SetImage(12679, FALSE);
GePrint("LockState: " + LongToString(lockState));
}
break;
}
EventAdd();
return TRUE;
}
Hope that helps.

I think RESOURCEIMAGE_LOCKED is what you search for. See a list of icons here:

I think Satara used LOCKICONID as a proxy and you were supposed to replace it with the
propery Icon ID. IDC_LOCK is equal to LOCKICON in Scott's example: The ID of the GUI Widget.
It is undefined because you need to define it yourself.
