Hi,I create a Display tag an attach it to an object. Works fine.
I set the WDisplay Mode in the tag to "Box". Works fine.
I activate the WDisplay mode in the tag by setting the checkbox to TRUE. Nothing happens, the checkbox is still set to FALSE??>
\> // Create Display Tag \> BaseTag \*dt = BaseTag::Alloc(Tdisplay); \> \> // Set Display mode \> dt->GetDataInstance()->SetBool(DISPLAYTAG_AFFECT_DISPLAYMODE, TRUE); // No effect! \> dt->GetDataInstance()->SetBool(DISPLAYTAG_AFFECT_BACKFACECULLING, TRUE); // No effect, either!! \> dt->GetDataInstance()->SetLong(DISPLAYTAG_WDISPLAYMODE, DISPLAYTAG_WDISPLAY_BOX); // Works \> \> // Attach Tag to object "cl" \> cl->InsertTag(dt); \>Thanks for any help!

Have you tried SetParameter() instead?
dt->SetParameter(DescLevel(DISPLAYTAG_AFFECT_DISPLAYMODE,DTYPE_BOOL,0L), GeData(TRUE), DESCFLAGS_DONTCHECKMINMAX);

Yippie! Works! Thanks again!
I still have no idea why I can acces most of the parameters using the DataInstance, and why I have to access some parameters with SetParameter(). Is that some kind of legacy stuff from very old API versions?

Howdy,
I think it may be because some parameters are part of a structure, like the X-Ray parameter is part of the ObjectColorProperties structure and can't be accessed through the regular data container. But that is just one example.
Adios,

It really depends if parameters are stored in the node's container or if they are handled through the node's SetD/GetDParameter() methods for instance.
