I'm trying to read all descIDs from the base container of an object, but I can't get those from obase.res file.
This is the code I'm using:

BaseContainer* pbc = pObj->GetDataInstance();
if (!pbc)
return nrProperties;

BaseContainer bc;
LONG nrProperties = 0;

for (LONG id, idx = 0; (id = pbc->GetIndexId(idx)) != NOTOK; idx++)
{
AutoAlloc<Description> desc;
if ((desc) && (pObj->GetDescription(desc, DESCFLAGS_DESC_0)))
{
        BaseContainer* pdbc = desc->GetParameterI(id, NULL);
        if (pdbc)
       {
            if (!pdbc->GetBool(DESC_HIDE))
            {
                bc.SetLong(T_OBJ_PROPERTY_ID + nrProperties, id);
              bc.SetString(T_OBJ_PROPERTY_NAME + nrProperties, pdbc->GetString(DESC_NAME));

            nrProperties++;
           }
    }
   }
}

This is the one I tend to use a lot. Using the SDK Browse() function.

    BaseObject *obj = doc->GetActiveObject();  
  const BaseContainer *objBc = obj->GetDataInstance();  
  
  AutoAlloc<Description> desc;  
  if (!desc) return FALSE;  
  if (!obj->GetDescription(desc, DESCFLAGS_DESC_0)) return FALSE;  
  
  DescID dcid, groupid;  
  void *handle = desc->BrowseInit();  
  if (!handle) return FALSE;  
  
  //We will store the description values in this variable  
  GeData d;  
  
  while (desc->GetNext(handle, &objBc, dcid, groupid))  
  {  
      if (objBc)  
      {  
          String name = objBc->GetString(DESC_NAME);          //The text in the GUI for each Gizmo (like the .str file works in plugins)  
          GePrint(name);  
          String ID = objBc->GetString(DESC_IDENT);             //The description's ID# expressed in text form  
          GePrint(ID);  
  
          obj->GetParameter(DescID(dcid), d, DESCFLAGS_GET_0);  //Get all the description values and store them in variable "d"  
            
          //Now we need to check the "d" variable for the specific type of data each description can store  
          Real rValue = d.GetReal();  
          LONG lValue = d.GetLong();  
          String sValue = d.GetString();  
          GePrint("RealValue: " +RealToString(rValue) + " , " + "LongValue: " +LongToString(rValue) + " , " + "StringValue: " +sValue);  
      }  
  }  
  
  desc->BrowseFree(handle);   //Free the memory used by the Browse function
