Hi.
I have made the jump to c++ 9.6 from c.o.f.f.e.e. 8.1 .
Containers are handled very differently....so just a quick question...
If you add your own item to an objects container... **e.g. **** dat- >SetLong(MY_ID, 55);** **.... is that it?** I know it works, but should you do anything else afterwards? Should the object send a message or something? Also, if you add an item to a Basedocuments container, is the above method all that is needed ...?
thanks for any info....

If your own item in the BaseContainer causes changes to the object that need to be reflected in the editor (or during render), directly or indirectly, best to send object->Message(MSG_UPDATE); so that the BaseContainer changes are acted upon.
Yes, you don't need to do anything else to the BaseContainer if you are using object->GetDataInstance(). Then you are setting values directly to the BaseContainer. If you use object->GetData() instead, you will need to call object->SetData() afterwards in order to store the changes to the 'real' BaseContainer as GetData() only returns a copy - not a pointer to the 'real' BaseContainer.
