hi @Boony2000 , these are Visual Studio Intellisense errors which you can safely ignore. If they bother you switch the filter from "Build + Intellisense" to "Build". Cheers, R

@blastframe said in Updating F-Curves in Timeline on EditSlider Drag: What's c4d.EVMSG_FCURVECHANGE for then? After a quick check (sorry, I should have checked yesterday for a more complete answer) literally nothing. It's used nowhere. Cheers, Manuel

@ferdinand Thank you for this; it makes things much clearer. I am very grateful we have the forum to clarify these issues.

@ferdinand That was exactly what I was seeking, thank you, Ferdinand!

hi, this shouldn't make any difference, what do you mean by "my own FIELDLIST gui element" . Can i see how do you add it and initialise it ? Cheers, Manuel

@zipit Thank you very much, Ferdinand. This helped me a lot!

@zipit Thank you for the information.

All right, thank you for all the help. I'll close this now.

Glad you found a way and yes I think it's safe now I guess there is no more open pint? If so I let you define your topic as solved (see Forum Structure and Features - Ask as Question If you don't know how to do it). Just in case a BaseContainer can also store a BaseContainer. so you could store your own BaseContainer at the ID_PLUGIN And in this BaseContainer at ID 0 stores, the obj counts, and then you can safely iterate over it. Cheers, Maxime.

@m_adam Thanks for the clarification. Regards, Georgi.

@zipit Hi, thank you for the message. Yes, I believe I already understood everything you explained and I do appreciate your efforts. I knew I wasn't doing anything with the descid in my code, I was just confused as to why when I change one attribute, I was getting MSG_DESCRIPTION_POSTSETPARAMETER messages from all of the attributes as opposed to just the one attribute. Perhaps it is something else in my code that is sending those. Regardless, it isn't hugely important, I was trying to be as efficient as possible. Thank you.

@kbar Thank you for the reply and helpful link. And for anyone look to get this working with your Description files: (from https://c4dprogramming.wordpress.com/2013/05/10/long-cycles-with-icons-and-separator/), put the plugin ids in your Description header and this in your Description resource file: CONTAINER Omyobject { NAME Omyobject; INCLUDE Obase; GROUP ID_OBJECTPROPERTIES { LONG MYOBJECT_ICONCYCLE { CYCLE { MYOBJECT_ICONCYCLE_ITEM_0; -1; MYOBJECT_ICONCYCLE_ITEM_1~Ocube; MYOBJECT_ICONCYCLE_ITEM_2~Opyramid; MYOBJECT_ICONCYCLE_ITEM_3~1021433; } } } } -1 creates a separator.

thank you both @a_block for enduring my beginner questions and zipit always keeping it precise and clean ,,, I managed to get an old script to run 20 times faster by just finding junk I was able to cleanup ! Even though as a beginner I sometimes do not know what I am doing this profiling helps to find stupid code! so few more scripts to cleanup.

Yes I wanted submenu with Icon, thanks for Up to Date clarification.

Hi thanks for the report this was already reported in Phong Tag with ObjectData and this is going to be fixed in the release after R23 SP1. Cheers, Maxime.

Hi, I did not really expect an answer, I just did put it up to make you guys aware. Regarding your reply, I agree with most of it and am aware that there a some hurdles to overcome in mapping C++ interfaces to Python, i.e. that you do run into problems in general when you want to express overloaded methods in Python. But as @mp5gosu pointed out, my major point was that the function does not accept named arguments at all. Which is mainly a problem because the docs tell you explicitly otherwise in two ways. First of all the docs say explicitly that all arguments are optional which implies for Python usually that I can pick and choose in which arguments I can pass by passing named arguments. And secondly, you print out the signature as Vector.__init__(x=0.0, y=0.0, z=0.0) which implies the same. I would have probably ignored all this and booked it under "that's for me to know and for you to find out", if it wasn't for the fact that the method does not raise a TypeError on attempts of feeding it with such unknown named arguments. Which can make this quite critical IMHO. Cheers, zipit

After a LOT of testing around I finally found the culprit. The header file was encoded UTF-8 with BOM. I finally figured it out after noticing that two versions of the header file that worked or didn't work had a 3 byte difference in file size. No idea how that snuck in there, but now it finally works. Also now it makes sense that the error was pointing to line 1.

Thank you very much, Manuel! This is a working solution for the issue and it helped me a lot! Best regards, Tim

Hi @lasselauch sorry for the late reply, I asked about the developer responsible for it. On Windows we use the WebView control of the last iteration of iexplore MS shipped for 8.1 - Internet Explorer 11 (user-agent ID: "Trident"). It supports >most< things other modern browsers do, but sadly not everything... Especially the JS support has become a problem since IE11 is missing parts of the ECMA 6 standard and needs 'polyfills' to emulate those. Many JS frameworks / libraries don't offer IE11 compatibility and instead rely on the developer to add those polyfills themselves. One of the improvements IE11 received back then was the developer console+tools so the user could use those to track > down the JS issues and resolve them." I also forwarded your request about the ability to disable Javascript, but so far nothing planned atm, so the only workaround I see is either fix your javascript framework (maybe a huge task) or you can disable your javascript based on the user agent and if it's an IE11. Hope this help, Cheers, Maxime.

why do you think C4D has any special handling for emojis? The font rendering is OS dependent, so any kind of text - including emoji codepoints - is drawn by the underlying operating system routines. Anything else would mean a ridiculous effort by Maxon to replicate font behavior. (I do not know how Windows internally handles emojis, I doubt that every available font has all these characters so most likely certain codepoints are mapped to common glyphs regardless of the font... but that is not a C4D question anyway.)
