I found the following in the latest SDK documentation. This may be my ignorance of programming but, if I return the state of the parameter how do I make a call to the parent?

Should it be something like:
parameter_State = TRUE;
result = parameter_State || SUPER::GetDEnabling(node, id, t_data, flags, itemdesc);

or something else?

Docmentation says:

virtual Bool GetDEnabling( GeListNode * node, const DescID& id, GeData & t_data, LONG flags, const BaseContainer * itemdesc)

Called to let you decide which parameters should be enabled or disabled (ghosted). This can be used both for parameters that are stored in the node's container and for custom parameters.

**Just read the passed t_data if the right id was provided, and return TRUE to enable the parameter or FALSE to disable it depending on the value. Then make sure to include a call to the parent at the end:
 **
  return SUPER::GetDEnabling(node, id, t_data, flags, itemdesc);

Return
Bool

TRUE if the parameter should be enabled, otherwise FALSE . It's is recommended that you include a call to the parent function as your last return .

Thank You,

Well, I can see how that sentence is a bit unclear as it is written. What it means is that if 'id' is matches then you return TRUE or FALSE, otherwise you pass the call on. As in SimpleMaterial.cpp:

    
    
    Bool SimpleMaterial::GetDEnabling(GeListNode *node, const DescID &id,GeData &t_data,LONG flags,const BaseContainer *itemdesc)  
    {  
      BaseContainer *dat = ((BaseMaterial* )node)->GetDataInstance();  
      Bool gi_available = C4DOS.Ra->ComputeDiffuseIllumination!=NULL;
    
    
    
    
      switch (id[0].id)  
      {  
        case MATERIAL_GLOBALILLUM_GENERATE:   
        case MATERIAL_GLOBALILLUM_RECEIVE:  
        case MATERIAL_CAUSTICS_GENERATE:  
        case MATERIAL_CAUSTICS_RECEIVE:  
          return gi_available;
    
    
    
    
        case MATERIAL_GLOBALILLUM_GENERATE_STRENGTH:  
          return gi_available && dat->GetBool(MATERIAL_GLOBALILLUM_GENERATE);
    
    
    
    
        case MATERIAL_GLOBALILLUM_RECEIVE_STRENGTH:  
        case MATERIAL_GLOBALILLUM_SATURATION:  
          return gi_available && dat->GetBool(MATERIAL_GLOBALILLUM_RECEIVE);
    
    
    
    
        case MATERIAL_CAUSTICS_GENERATE_STRENGTH:  
          return gi_available && dat->GetBool(MATERIAL_CAUSTICS_GENERATE);
    
    
    
    
        case MATERIAL_CAUSTICS_RECEIVE_STRENGTH:  
          return gi_available && dat->GetBool(MATERIAL_CAUSTICS_RECEIVE);
    
    
    
    
        case MATERIAL_CAUSTICS_SAMPLERADIUS:        
        case MATERIAL_CAUSTICS_SAMPLES:       
          return (dat->GetBool(MATERIAL_CAUSTICS_RECEIVE) || dat->GetBool(MATERIAL_CAUSTICS_GENERATE)) && gi_available;  
      }
    
    
    
    
      return SUPER::GetDEnabling(node,id,t_data,flags,itemdesc);  
    }
