---------Hi,

Can you help me writing a plugin?
I'm workin on a Poser import plugin that works fine until Curious Labs update to service pack 4.

Here is my problem.
I just want to now (if it is possible) how to refresh a command in a C.O.F.F.E.E plugin.
for example: I change the name of an object and I want to see the
change in the object manager directly.
Until now, the change is activated when I leave the plugin.
I have the same problem loading an object inside a plugin.
I cannot use the object directly, in the plugin. but when I leave the plugin, the object is well loaded. <SCRIPT language=javascript>postamble();_<_Script_>_

From what you say it sounds like GeEventAdd(MSG_UPDATE) is what you want.

Hi,
No that doesn't work

Here is part of my code:

I think the problem is that vDoc isn't the loaded document. LoadDocument() loads a new document into C4D. So you'll have to iterate through the open documents to find the new one. (Probably either vDoc->GetNext(), or the last one in the chain; I haven't checked.)

I tried that but it won't work either.
At the end, It's the only document loaded.
Perhaps a thread problem? It seems like that the loaded object exist only when the plugin leaves.
By the way I already have C4D 8.5
Thank you.

Ok, sorry about the version confusion. Please folks, try to remember to fill in the version header when you start a new thread. Otherwise it becomes hard for me to know when the information is correct. (I've updated this thread manually.)
However, I was unable to reproduce your findings in 8.503. Granted, I used a 3ds file since I didn't have any obj files lying around. This is the code I used:

    
    
    class MyMenuPlugin : MenuPlugin  
    {  
    public:  
      MyMenuPlugin();  
        
      GetID();  
      GetName();  
      GetHelp();  
      Execute(doc);  
    }
    
    
    
    
    MyMenuPlugin::MyMenuPlugin() { super(); }  
    MyMenuPlugin::GetID()        { return 1000011; } // Temp  
    MyMenuPlugin::GetName()      { return "C.O.F.F.E.E. Test"; }  
    MyMenuPlugin::GetHelp()      { return "C.O.F.F.E.E. Dummy Plugin"; }
    
    
    
    
    MyMenuPlugin::Execute(doc)  
    {  
      var filename = GeGetStartupPath();  
      filename->FileSelect("Please select a OBJ file.", FALSE);
    
    
    
    
      LoadDocument(filename);
    
    
    
    
      var d = GetFirstDocument();  
      while (d)  
      {  
        println(d, "  ", d->GetFirstObject()->GetName());  
        d = d->GetNext();  
      }  
    }
    
    
    
    
    main()  
    {  
      Register(MyMenuPlugin);  
    }

The code prints both the first object in the current scene and the first object of the loaded scene.

That work!!!
The problem was: I passed the old vDoc not the new one to my subroutine
Getting older, need glasses.
