After a day or two I must admit that trying to figure it out by myself seems not to lead to a successful path:

I'd like to use

> void BrowserLibraryPopup(LONG mx, LONG my, LONG defw, LONG defh, LONG pluginwindowid, LONG presettypeid, void\* userdata, BrowserPopupCallback callback);

to let the user choose an item from a list of default images.

It works fine in regard that the popup is created and displayed but its empt and I am totally in the dark what values to use for:

> LONG pluginwindowid

and

> LONG presettypeid

I managed to assign a callback function but it doesn't get called. I suppose because the popup has no content yet.

For the start maybe even just an example to open the Sky object's preset popup (as mentioned in the documentation) would be helpful.

Best and thanks in advance

'pluginwindowid' is just a unique ID of your choice. For 'presettypeid' you have to pass a valid browser preset plugin ID. It's the one returned in SDKBrowserPluginInterfaceInfo::GetPluginID(). So for instance if you have written your own preset plugin you would pass the ID of your preset plugin.

Here is an example that displays all object presets

Do you need the ID of a specific preset category?

No thanks, I'll write my own SDKBrowserPluginInterfaceInfo.
Though I'll have to dig through the SDKBrowserPluginInterfaceInfo code first and hope I wont get stuck again. I set up a SDKBrowserPluginInterfaceInfo plugin yesterday and just wondered that none of its function were called when I initiated BrowserLibraryPopup.

Well GetPluginID() in fact did get called but naturally because of registering the plugin;

I'll get back to you if I get lost again.

Ok, I tried hard to understand what to do next but got stuck again...

When BrowserLibraryPopup() is called with the ID of my SDKBrowserPluginInterfaceInfo-plugin an empty window pops up.

The only method of SDKBrowserPluginInterfaceInfo that gets called is "GetPluginID" where I return the PluginID I used for BrowserLibraryPopup();

I'ts quite harde to understand what SDKBrowserPluginInterfaceInfo does at all and even harder when none of the functions get called...

Best and thanks in advance

I have to do some research here as well. I've never written a browser plugin. I'll let you know if I've figured things out.
