Here is a pic of what I mean.   The elements between the red lines were added again in photoshop to show what I would like to happen when the user presses the button.   ..  minus the Add button..    I accidentally included it in the copy but I don't want the button to be added again.   I am going to throw a sperator in there to block that off..

Here is the complete code of a simple example of a generator (doing nothing) with a dynamic description similar to what you want. The elements for each dynamic decription group are saved in a respective sub-subcontainer. Please check the comments within the sorce code for more details.

Thanks for your help Matthias .   I have another question about this.   I am able to add the new dynamic decription elements to my attributes manager,   Now how do I access the data from these new elements?  I would like to be able to draw from the new links and sliders..

THanks,

sorry for digging out this old thread.

I'm also using the example above and changed it slightly to fit my puropse. Now I also don't understand where the new values (in my case just the REAL value) are stored and how I can access them?

In GetDDescription I tried: 
object->GetReal(MY_VALUE);  
main->GetReal(MY_VALUE);
bc2.GetReal(MY_VALUE); 
bc->GetReal(MY_VALUE);

a.s.o.

so far it's try and error hoping to get the correct value by chance

Would be nice if someone could help out and explain where the values are stored and how I could access the new REAL value set in the attributes manager.

Thanks.

Hey, no one here who could give me a hint? 
I'm not an experienced programmer I'm doing this plugin for a students project and I spent hours trying to figur out this problem. Any help would be appreciated.

What I got so far: 
If I press the Button

in Message () 
I create an new (Sub-Sub-) BaseContainer and insert it in the main SubContainer.

BaseContainer *bc = ((BaseList2D* )node)->GetDataInstance(); if (!bc) return FALSE;
BaseContainer *main  = bc->GetContainerInstance(MY_SUBCONTAINER); if (!main) return FALSE;
BaseContainer object;
object.SetReal(MY_VALUE, 0.0);
main->InsData(bc->GetLong(MY_SUBCONTAINER_CNT), object);    //insert the sub-subcontainer

then in GetDDescription()
the main SubContainer ist fetched and with it a BrowseContainer is created. 
With the BrowseContainer I browse through all the BaseContainer in the main Container and a new BaseContainer (bc2) with the Decription of the Parameters is created and added to the Description.

while (brw.GetNext(&id,&data))    //browse through the main-subcontainer
    {
        if (data->GetType() != DA_CONTAINER) continue;
        BaseContainer *object = data->GetContainer(); if (!object) continue;    //get the sub-subcontainer
  
        //read out the sub-subcontainer and accordingly add the elements to the description
        //MY_LINK, MY_VALUE and MY_SEPARATOR are defined along with the button ID (MY_BUTTON) in the header file
 DescID cid = scID(DescLevel(MY_VALUE,DTYPE_SUBCONTAINER,0), DescLevel(id,DTYPE_REAL,0));
        if (!singleid || cid.IsPartOf(*singleid,NULL)) // important to check for speedup c4d!
        {
            if (!initbc2)
            {
                initbc2 = TRUE;
                bc2 = GetCustomDataTypeDefault(DTYPE_REAL);
                bc2.SetLong(DESC_CUSTOMGUI, CUSTOMGUI_REALSLIDER);
                bc2.SetReal(DESC_MIN,0.0);
                bc2.SetReal(DESC_MAX,1.0);
                bc2.SetReal(DESC_STEP,0.01);
                bc2.SetLong(DESC_UNIT,DESC_UNIT_PERCENT);
                bc2.SetLong(DESC_ANIMATE, DESC_ANIMATE_ON);
                bc2.SetBool(DESC_REMOVEABLE, FALSE);
            }
            bc2.SetString(DESC_NAME, "Value");
            bc2.SetString(DESC_SHORT_NAME, "Value");
            if (!description->SetParameter(cid,bc2,DescLevel(ID_OBJECTPROPERTIES))) return FALSE;
        }

Now I'm able to access the the Values stored in the SubContainer (the DESC_NAME...)

But unfortuntaly I can't get the values I enter in the REAL Box in the C4D Parameter Dialog. It seems that they are not stored in my object Sub-Sub- Container as I would've expected . 
I just can't figure out where there are stored and how I'm able to access them.

Thanks for taking the time.

There was some small but important thing missing in my example. You have to overload the SetD/GetDParameter methods because we are storing dynamic elements in sub-containers.

Here is the complete code for a example with dynamic slider elements. In the overloaded GetVirtualObjects method you can see how to read out the values.
