Hi,
I'm trying to switch the AM tabs in code. But I can't find the ID's for a couple of them.
Can anyone tell me where to find the tab(group) ID's for the Basic & Phong tabs?
None of the ID's in the object's container seem to work.
I've searched through the .h files. But I can't find ID's associated with these tabs(groups).

(999, 'ID_BASELIST_NAME')      #The Basic tab   does not work. It selects the Object tab!?  
(999, 'ID_BASEOBJECT_GROUP1')  #The Coord tab   works  
(999, 'ID_OBJECTPROPERTIES')   #The Object tab  works  
(999, 'PRIM_CUBE_SUBF')        #The Phong tab   does not work. It selects the Object tab!?

This is an example how I'm switching to the different the tabs:

import c4d  
def main() :  
   
  obj = doc.GetFirstObject()  
  
  description = obj.GetDescription(c4d.DESCFLAGS_DESC_0)    #Get the description of the active object  
  for bc, paramid, groupid in description:                  #Iterate over the parameters of the description  
      print bc[c4d.DESC_IDENT]  
  
  
  did = c4d.DescID(c4d.ID_BASEOBJECT_GROUP1)  
  c4d.gui.ActiveObjectManager_SetObject(c4d.ACTIVEOBJECTMODE_OBJECT, obj, c4d.ACTIVEOBJECTMANAGER_SETOBJECTS_OPEN, did)  
  
if __name__=='__main__':  
  main()

Hello,

the "Basic" and "Phong" tab are not part of the actual object description. The "Basic" tab is inherited from a base class. In this case from Obaselist. The symbol used to describe this class is Tbaselist2d:

  
did = c4d.DescID(c4d.Tbaselist2d)

Also the "Phong" tab is not part of the original object description. It is added for convenience by parsing the object's tags. The added tab ID is constructed internally using the tag type:

  
did = c4d.DescID(c4d.DescLevel(c4d.ID_TAGLIST, c4d.DTYPE_GROUP, 0), c4d.DescLevel(c4d.Tphong, c4d.DTYPE_GROUP, 0))

best wishes,
Sebastian

Thanks,
I knew they were not part of the object's descriptions. But I could not find what/where they were hiding.
