Hello,

I am wondering witch part of the ToolData plugin determines if tool will allow selected object MyObject::DetectHandle to be called. As an example, move, rotate.. tools allow this.

I tried to derive such tool from LiquidTool example, but with no luck, by default LiquidTool doesn't allow DetectHandle to be called.

Thanks.

To clarify a bit more, what I need is basically an empty tool, that allows detect handles to be called, if I strip the the example to:

#include "c4d.h"  
#include "c4d_symbols.h"  
  
#define ID_LIQUIDTOOL 1000973  
  
class LiquidToolData : public ToolData  
  {  
  public:  
      virtual LONG Draw(BaseDocument *doc, BaseContainer &data, BaseDraw *bd, BaseDrawHelp *bh, BaseThread *bt, LONG flags);  
  };  
  
LONG LiquidToolData::Draw(BaseDocument *doc, BaseContainer &data, BaseDraw *bd, BaseDrawHelp *bh, BaseThread *bt, LONG flags)  
{  
  return DRAW_AXIS|DRAW_HANDLES;  
}  
Bool RegisterPrimitiveTool(void)  
{  
  // decide by name if the plugin shall be registered - just for user convenience  
  String name=GeLoadString(IDS_PRIMITIVETOOL); if (!name.Content()) return TRUE;  
  return RegisterToolPlugin(ID_LIQUIDTOOL,name,PLUGINFLAG_TOOL_EVALUATEHANDLES,"liquid.tif","C++ SDK Liquid Painting Tool",gNew LiquidToolData);  
}

it still blocks...

It seems it's only possible for the PSR and selection tools. I've asked the developers to make sure though. I'll let you know if I find out more.

cheers,

Thanks for the info, btw what do I have to change for it to become a PSR or selection tool, I searched the SDK and forums and found no info on this, is this some internal stuff?

Yes, that's what I meant. The PSR and selection tools seem to use some internal stuff.
