Having added this element to a description file, i can now see it, but i don't know how ot retrieve information from it can anyone help?

the way i'm getting it's contents is to access it as a BaseContainer

myobjectlist = interfacecontainer->GetContainer(ID_INEXCLUDE);

is this right?

from there where is the description of the ID's used so that i can retrieve the list of objects in there? (how can i find out how many objects are in there too?).

The reason I want to use this interface element is simply because i want to have a list of obejcts, that i can then retreive their position from.

should I use another interface element type instead to do this? (and any ideas why the IN_EXCLUDE element works, but when i remove an item from it c4d crashes?).

You have to get at the InExcludeData object (see customgui_inexclude.h) associated with the element.

    
    
    GeData inex;  
    obj->GetParameter(DescID(ID_INEXCLUDE), inex, NULL);  
    InExcludeData* inexdata = static_cast<InExcludeData*>(inex.GetCustomDataType(CUSTOMDATATYPE_INEXCLUDE_LIST));

Then you can use the various functions in the InExcludeData class to access the objects in the list.

thanks this worked for me to get the object list out of s selection object (though having a IN_EXCLUDE object in my own gui caused cinema to quit for some reason whith this code invoked).
