      Afaik, undos are handled automatically by Cinema 4D for custom descriptions.

        Not here. If I add the object and then edit the spline points, an undo removes the object and doesn't undo changes to my spline points. The CUSTOMDATATYPE_INFO_UNDOSAMECUSTOMGUI flag is set for the RegisterCustomDataTypePlugin().

        Realize that what I have in my iCustomDataType is the spline 'type', 'count' (number of nodes or knots), and a Vector array containing the nodes/knots. type and count are handled as description resources but the Vector array only exists as such and isn't stored in a Description or BaseContainer.

          You have to set the CUSTOMDATATYPE_INFO_UNDOSAMECUSTOMGUI flag for your CustomDataType plugin. Here is the register call of the gradient for instance.

          > \> RegisterCustomDataTypePlugin(GeLoadString(IDS_DATATYPE_GRADIENT), CUSTOMDATATYPE_INFO_LOADSAVE | CUSTOMDATATYPE_INFO_UNDOSAMECUSTOMGUI | CUSTOMDATATYPE_INFO_HASSUBDESCRIPTION|CUSTOMDATATYPE_INFO_NEEDDATAFORSUBDESC, gNew GradientDataTypeClass,1)); \>

          Only use CUSTOMDATATYPE_INFO_UNDOSAMECUSTOMGUI for elelments like the gradient or spline. Simple types don't need and shouldn't use this.

          cheers,

                Any idea on how to get the customgui data to the customdatatype? I see that iCustomGui::SetData() is called often whereas iCustomGui::GetData() is never called - so my customgui gets the datatype but can never update it. I have found no way to do this. The only real example that I have for my type of datatype/gui is SplineData/SplineCustomGui but its underlying workings are hidden (as expected).

                Come on here. It's coming up on TWO WEEKS since I started this request and I'm still groping in the dark. I can't run a business on R&D; and T&E; in this dismal economic situation. I need support here.

                  Thank you very much Robert. It seems to do the trick, but it didnt solve it completely. Im stuck where you are.

                  Concerning the support, i guess ive got sad news for you (if you didnt know already) :

                    No, I didn't catch that. Well, I'm going the alternative route then with a non-modal dialog and a button in the object's A.M. (the current code has been backed up maybe to be revitalized later). Probably my least palatable solution but I can't wait three weeks or more to get this moving.

                      Unfortunately i dont really have another choice, since the data im trying to put in the CustomDataType/Gui is needed quite often and adding it to the description everytime would be... overkill.

                      it supposed to hold five different types of color information...
