Now I am trying to do this to create the icon.
Bool RegisterdlgGrid(void)
{
Filename file = GeGetPluginPath();// + Filename("mytagplugin.tif");
Bool RegisterIcon(ID_ICON);
// decide by name if the plugin shall be registered - just for user convenience
String name=GeLoadString(IDS_CREATEGRID); if (!name.Content()) return TRUE;
return RegisterCommandPlugin(ID_CREATEGRID,name,0,NULL,"",gNew CreateGridTest);
}
But i can't seem get the correct way. One more thing, I found in the documentation for RegisterIcon needs 7 parameters. But when i do like this:
Bool RegisterIcon(ID_ICON, file, 0, 0, -1, -1,0);It it saying that too many initializers.
Can anyone tell me what's the correct way to create icon in toolbar, and call the function upon clicking the icon.
Thanks and regards -

You don´t need the RegisterIcon function. The Register function of all plugins do have an icon flag. For example:
RegisterCommandPlugin(YOUR_ID,name,0, "icon.tif" , "",gNew YourClass);
This icon.tif has to be in your plugins /res/ folder to be found. -

Upps, sorry, completely misunderstood it
Afaik you cannot create a toolbar from within your code. You need to create it in Cinema 4D and save it to your HD. Then you can use LoadFile to load the toolbar.
LoadFile() needs to be called from within your Execute function of the command plugin. -

As Samir says, you have to make a CommandData plugin. Then the rest is easy. (Just see the examples in the SDK.)

Does it mean that I have to create a toolbar using C4D then call by using this kind of method?
Bool RegisterMyPlugin(void) {
String name = "Plugin_Name";
return RegisterToolPlugin(ID, name, 0, "pluginicon.tif", "Description of plugin", gNew plugin);
} -

Do you mean creating the actual icon in the toolbar? That's not possible from plugin code. The usual workaround, for plugins that need it, is to create the toolbar manually and then save it as an .l4d file. The file can be loaded from the plugin with LoadFile(). The user then only has to dock the toolbar himself.
