BaseContainer Class Reference

#include <c4d_basecontainer.h>

Detailed Description

A container is a collection of individual values. Each value has its own ID and type. Container can also carry any number of child containers.
90% of Cinema 4D's internal values are stored in containers and all messages are working with container, so this class is an essential part of the SDK.

Containers can store any GeData type, including custom data types. Use GetCustomDataType() to access these values in a safe manner.

It is recommended to use the available containers to store your own values as well. That way they will be automatically saved.
However, to store values in the top level of for example an object container, use a sub-container with a unique id from http://www.plugincafe.com. Inside this sub-container use whatever ids.

Warning

Keep in mind that there is no guarantee for a value to be in the container. Use default values whenever possible when accessing container's ID data.
Use the typed access methods (for example GetBool()) whenever possible, instead of the low-level GetData().
Once a container value has been set using one type you must neither try to access it using another type, nor overwrite it with a value of another type! Using the wrong access will not crash, but it is illegal.
