Hello together,

I have the following situation. I have created a custom tag type, for which the user can open an editor (similar to the XPresso-GUI). There you can create certain types of elements which are plugins that are derived from the NodeData-class.

Creating the elements within my editor works all fine. But I have the problem, that I need to attach them to the tag, for which the editor was called.

How could this be done?

I have been browsing the SDK-docs for a while now and found out the probably SetCustomData(...) might be the key to this, but I didn't manage to get this work.
Here is how I try it (just a test with a single node) :

GeListNode *node = AllocListNode(ID_MYNODE);
tag = GetActiveDocument()->GetActiveTag();
if (tag) {
tag->SetCustomData(node);
}

Thanks in advance.
Dani

I think a better way is to create a GeListHead and store the nodes in there. Then you can use GetBranchInfo() to provide full integration of your nodes with the AM and animation. (At least in theory; I haven't experimented with it much myself.)
