Hi.
I can not put an icon to my PlugIn. My source code is:

PlugInMenu::GetIcon()
{
var fn = GeGetRootFilename();
fn->RemoveLast();
fn->AddLast("icon.tif");
var bm = new(BaseBitmap, 1, 1);
bm->Load(fn);
return bm;
}

And even that I work well with other icons (tiff) of other PlugIns, with the icon that I made (Photoshop) not work ... Why?

Thanks

Please, sorry for my very bad English...

Hi!

You want to add an icon to the entry of your Plugin in the PluginMenü? Look at the position of the plugin-registry.

//Hook to register Plugin
//*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*
Bool RegisterEditorEntry(void)
//*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*
{

return RegisterCommandPlugin(YOUR_ID,String("I am a CommandPlugin"),false,ICON,String("opens the CommandPlugin"), gNew TheCommandClass);
}

Hi, look at ICON. Replace it with a function, to get youricon.

Examine this code to see how it should be done:

// Included symbols
include "c4d_symbols.h"

// Global references
var resource;
var plugin_path;
var plugin_icon;
var d;

// CLASS: Drop Object Menu - Register plugin in menu
class DropObject_MenuPlugin : MenuPlugin
{
     public:
          DropObject_MenuPlugin();
          GetID();
          GetIcon();
          GetName();
          GetHelp();
          Execute(doc);
          RestoreLayout(secret);
}
DropObject_MenuPlugin::DropObject_MenuPlugin()     { super(); }
DropObject_MenuPlugin::GetID()                         { return PLUGIN_MENU_ID; }
DropObject_MenuPlugin::GetIcon()                    { return plugin_icon; }
DropObject_MenuPlugin::GetName()                    { return resource->GetString(PLUGIN_MENU_TEXT); }
DropObject_MenuPlugin::GetHelp()                    { return resource->GetString(PLUGIN_MENU_HELP_TEXT); }
DropObject_MenuPlugin::Execute(doc)
{
     // Perform operation
     d->Open(TRUE,-1,-1);
}
DropObject_MenuPlugin::RestoreLayout(secret)
{
     // Called by C4D to restore the dialog
     if (!d) d = new(FloorDialog);
     d->RestoreLayout(secret);
}

// Start of plugin
main()
{
     // Load Resource
     if (!(plugin_path = GeGetRootFilename())) println("Unable to find plugin!");
     plugin_path->RemoveLast();
     if (!(resource = new(GeResource, plugin_path))) println("Unable to load resource!");

// Load Icons
     var icon_file = plugin_path->GetClone();
     icon_file->AddLast("pluginicon.tif");
     plugin_icon = new(BaseBitmap,1,1);
     plugin_icon->Load(icon_file);

// Register Plugins
Register(DropObject_MenuPlugin);

// Create non-modal dialog
d = new(FloorDialog);
}
