Hi!
I hope this code snippet helps... Catch the Message from the method and check out, which kind of port was added. The address of the GvNode is stored in dataBN. Look for "GvMessage" in the C4DC++ SDK to get more information

Hi Shawni,
That's beautiful, it works, thanks a lot really.
There are some minor changes which I snippet here.
watch out: this message editor does not seem to know the plus sign, so i replaced it with "plussign"
I don't know how to change this behaviour.Regards,

Hi!
correct me if i am wrong...
base->GetLong(<GV_MESSAGE_FIRST_DATA_ID+0>, 0))
The part in the angle brackets is a constant....

What happens?
When I take your code and change "plussign" to + it works...

Yes, it may sound ridiculous but you see, in this forum editor i cannot type the "plus".
If i do, it disappears from the text in the "Post Preview" like magic, thats why i replaced it with the "plussign", exactly as you said in your last mail.This may be somewhat confusing but the code works fine indeed. The node is ready.
Thanks again.

Hi,
Well, my node isn't quite ready...
Now that i have added a port, how can a user remove it if he/she wants to?
Clicking on it with the right mouse shows a disabled 'Delete Port' in the popup.
Ok this should be done with GetDEnabling yes?
But a GePrint shows that this function is not called at the right time.
And if it was, how would i find the id of the 'Delete Port'. Adding a 'Delete Port' in the 'FillPortMenu' adds just another 'Delete Port'.Jan

Hi!

Change the settings in your res file.
CONTAINER PythonNode
{
NAME JanaNode;
INCLUDE GVbase;GROUP ID_GVPORTS
{
LONG in_long {INPORT;}.....
Add CREATEPORT, MULTIPLE, etc...depends on what you need. -

Mmmm, you're an expert Shawni. Respect.
I had defined my ports as {INPORT; STATICPORT;}
Thanks a million.

Hi!
nice to see that it works.
In your case: Do you mix "Createport" and "Multiple"?

Well, eeeeh, i use neither...
You mean in the iCreate or in the res file or something?
I Just create a node from scratch. And it works.Hey, do yo know a way to find out when an object from the Object manager is dropped into the XPresso Editor, and when a connection is made (wire)?
I need to trace the connection from my node all the way to a (direct or indirect) connected object(s).

hi!
Create an object input-port. Use "GVGENERALOBJECT" in your res file.
In the calculate file, get the BaseLink2D from the port and cast it to an BaseObject.

hi Shawni,
You mention a 'BaseLink2D' but you mean a 'BaseList2D'?
I know, but that delivers only a directly connected node. Of course you could follow the chain forward to an object, but i think i prefer a message when an object from the manager is dropped. Something like a DRAG_RECEIVE, but then for the XPresso editor.
What i need is to get a pointer to the object that is the final target of my node, although several nodes might or might not be in between me and my target.

Hi!
I'm sorry. I ment a BaseLink, not a BaseLink2D.
You could listen for CoreMessage(). Perhaps you receive your Drag_Receive.
Print out the id and check the constant.bye.
p.s. if you have information about getting objects, please let me know.
