Hi,

in the GetVirtualObject-method i create a PolgonObject with some values.
If i change the values, the viewport doesn't refresh. I have to click somewhere in the interface and then it refreshs.
I tried it with something like this.

> \> op->Message(MSG_UPDATE);//and MSG_CHANGE \> EventAdd(EVENT_FORCEREDRAW); \>

I also tried

> DrawViews(DA_ONLY_ACTIVE_VIEW|DA_NO_THREAD|DA_NO_ANIMATION); //DrawViews(DA_NO_THREAD|DA_FORCEFULLREDRAW);

I even overwrote the Message-method of the GeneratorObject without success.

If i catch the MSG_GETCUSTOMICON-message in the Message-method and call EventAdd(EVENT_FORCEREDRAW); there, it works. But i don't like this dirty hack and i don't want to refresh everytime.

Anybody an idea what i could try else?

Thanks!

cheers,
Oli

I also tried this.

You have to send the MSG_UPDATE message to the polygon object. Also please check the RoundedTube SDK example as this is a parametric generator which creates a polygon object.
