Hi!
My Plugin parses big textfiles and sets alot of keys, while it's doing that I already want to see the Animation.
Is that possible? If so, how?
Greetings+thanks!

Render or Editor? For animation there are only three choices: play editor, preview render (e.g.: QuickTime), full render. You won't get either of the last two to render in anything near real-time.
So, if you just want to see the animation as you go in the Editor, use AnimateDocument() to set the frame:
LONG fps = baseDocument->GetFps();
// In your loop or such
BaseTime time = BaseTime::BaseTime(frame, fps);
baseDocument->SetTime(time);
baseDocument->AnimateDocument(NULL, TRUE, TRUE);
EventAdd();To do the render, you'd have to render each frame individually setting the RenderData settings as you go. Note that there are differences between R11 and earlier versions.

Sorry, my bad, I meant the Editor.
I was testing with the same solution, but unfortunately the editor didnt update. Even with EventAdd(EVENT_FORCEREDRAW).Is the problem that the plugin is still running? It updates the statusbar and its text just fine.

As Im using AnimateDocument throughout my plugin to get updated values from objects, I tested to use EventAdd() there too, but it doesnt update the editor (but I get the correct values from objects at that time)

In that case, it may be that you need to run in a separate thread.
Are you using a modal or non-modal dialog? Are you calling StopAllThreads() beforehand?
Try GeSyncMessage(EVMSG_TIMECHANGED) to get the view to update. And EventAdd(EVENT_ANIMATE) to update everything else (AM et al).
