I changed the class type of my plugin from:class cPolyPaintTool : public ToolDatato
class cPolyPaintTool : public DescriptionToolDataand now, the line:
return RegisterToolPlugin(ID_POLYPAINTTOOL, GeLoadString(IDS_POLYPAINTTOOL),PLUGINFLAG_TOOL_OBJECTHIGHLIGHT,AutoBitmap("icontool.tif"),GeLoadString(IDS_POLYPAINTTOOL_HELP), gNew cPolyPaintTool);
}returns an error of "Allocating an object of abstract class type 'cPolyPaintTool'"
If I get back to ToolData, it builds fine.
What can I bo doing wrong?

You should also see information on what methods are missing an implementation
If you inherit from DescriptionToolData, you _must_ provide an implementation for
virtual Int32 GetToolPluginId() = 0; virtual const String GetResourceSymbol() = 0;See http://www.maxonexchange.de/sdk/CINEMA4DSDK/index.html
The = 0; part just means that there will be no implementation of this method
of the declaring class and makes the class abstract therefore.Best,

Isn't that for release 15? I'm using release 14 and it tells nothing about it in the SDK.

Anyway, it is working now, with this:
class cPolyPaintTool : public DescriptionToolData { public: virtual LONG GetToolPluginId() {return ID_POLYPAINTTOOL;} virtual const String GetResourceSymbol() {return "ToolPolyPaintTool";} virtual LONG GetState(BaseDocument* doc); virtual void InitDefaultSettings(BaseDocument *doc, BaseContainer &data;); }Thank you, Niklas.
