Thank You @m_magalhaes and @zipit Both your suggestions were very helpful. The controller works very well @m_magalhaes I just needed to convert my user data input to BaseTime and it works perfectly. I was able to solve the updating issue to work how I want. I only needed to add: c4d.GeSyncMessage(c4d.EVMSG_TIMECHANGED) Now my timeline markers update nicely as I change values. This topic can be marked solved.

Hi Frank, actually you can deal with by checking the type of the stored value and read it as a maxon::DataDictionary . .. ... if (value.GetType() == maxon::GetDataType<maxon::DataDictionary>()) { nestedDataDict = value.Get<maxon::DataDictionary>() iferr_return; } ... .. , Hope this helps. Riccardo

@m_magalhaes Hey! Added the code you provided and it works nicely, thanks so much! Cheers, Sandi

RE: The only possible solution for you would be to develop your own timeline. Okay. Not going that route. Hahaha. Thanks for the confirmation!

Hi @mfersaoui, I thought you were referring to objects pinned under the generator and not children in the cache. In this case checking that the cache is valid before attempting to access any of its methods is mandatory. Last but not least, I think we're running out of options here, cause even attempting to use SpecialEventAdd() / MessageData::CoreMessage() doesn't help too much and leads on some cases to unpredictable results. Best, Riccardo

I can only confirm it's not possible in Cinema 4D. The thing that matches the more is the Command Line windows. Cheers, Maxime.

ok thanks for the info @m_adam.

@bentraje actually there's nothing to get fixed in the future, since it can't be reproduce with a clean installation. Please give it a try with a clean installation and if you're able to achieve the issue and provide us with the steps, we'll look into it. Thanks, Riccardo

Interesting. Thanks for the further clarification!

hello, ID_TREEVIEW_PLUGIN 1001145 ID_EXPRESSION_PLUGIN 1001148 ID_OPERATORPOOL_PLUGIN 1001138 ID_EXPRESSION_TAG 1001149 last one should be but it's not defined in python. ID_CALCULATE_PLUGIN 400009000 cheers, Manuel

@Jmelon I'm sorry there is no specific message sent to the GvOperatorData It's all handled in the UI. Cheers, Maxime.

Thanks, Manuel, for looking into it. Maybe worth a note in the docs? It is a bit confusing, isn't it? Cheers to the entire team, Andreas

@m_magalhaes Epic, It works! Thank you very much Manuel!
