Updating while dragging a handle

I have a Objectdata plugin (OBJECT_GENERATOR) with handles.
I use these handles to deform an object.

Only, when I drag the handles, the scene is not update.
I tried to update the scene using DrawViews(), but that did not work.

What should I do to update the scene while dragging handles?
I did look at RoundedTube, that updates the scene during dragging, but that did not give any clues how to solve it.

Note: In GetVirtualObjects, I create the object and insert it directly  into the scene (after first deleting the previous created one). Thus the object is not inserted using the return of GetVirtualObjects.

How do you implement MoveHandle()?
If an handle is moved successfully then this should change one of its parameters and the way it has to be generated. See SetHandle() called from MoveHandle() in DoubleCircle and RoundedTube examples.

I'm confused by what you describe here.
GetVirtualObjects() shouldn't delete any object. It should return a new one if it's updated.
Also the active document must not be touched in GetVirtualObjects().

Hi Yannick,

Indeed, i do not use GetVirtualObjects correctly, I change the setup and now it is updating.

Thanks, Pim
