@cairyn said in Overriding arrow keys in the Object Manager?: I guess they didn't make the cut at all...) Good guess, there's no particular reason for not being there.

You should definitely be using the built in language system that C4D has. You have string files in your resource folder. One for each language that you want to support. Then C4D handles all this for you and will use the appropriate string file depending what language C4D is set to use (which you change via the preferences->Interface section). This is what @ferdinand posted already above, I just wanted to re-iterate this.

@m_magalhaes Manuel you hero! That was it! DeformedPolygonCacheIterator was the key! Thank you so much!

@ferdinand I will handle it. Thanks for your help! Cheers~

@m_adam Thanks Maxime, I'll check that out. The customer was using R23.110

@m_adam That clears it up, thanks Maxime!

@m_magalhaes Thanks Manuel!

@m_magalhaes yes thanks that was my idea, too , I created a temporary object, in my case a spline with 0 points and 0 segments and simply exchanged it, thanks.....

thanks.

@m_adam Thanks

I came up with this solution which is working fine. Thanks for your help. std::string getDropDownName(Description* const description, Int32 group_id, Int32 SelectedItem) { const DescID* singleid = description->GetSingleDescID(); const DescID cid = DescLevel(group_id, DTYPE_LONG, 0); std::string selected_name = ""; if (!singleid || cid.IsPartOf(*singleid, nullptr)) { AutoAlloc<AtomArray> arr; BaseContainer* selectionParameter = description->GetParameterI(DescLevel(group_id, DTYPE_LONG, 0), arr); if (selectionParameter != nullptr) { BaseContainer* items = selectionParameter->GetContainerInstance(DESC_CYCLE); if (items != nullptr) { selected_name = items->GetData(SelectedItem).GetString().GetCStringCopy(); } } } return selected_name; }

@m_magalhaes This worked great, thank you.
