Hey mike,

you can use a parent group with 3 columns layout and then for each column, put it into a speparate group to maintain constant width.

hello,

thanks @mp5gosu for the answer.

To add something here, you can have a look at the file r_info_manager.res, that's the coordinate manager. This have to be reproduce the same way in a CreateLayout.

On a description, things are a bit easier you can use a customGUI CUSTOMGUI_SUBDESCRIPTION
on the .res file juste add this line

VECTOR ID_BASEOBJECT_REL_POSITION { UNIT METER;  CUSTOMGUI SUBDESCRIPTION; }

on the GetDDescription you juste add a vector and specify the customGUI to use

		DescID cid = DescLevel(vectorID, DTYPE_VECTOR, 0);
			// check if this parameter ID is requested (NOTE: this check is important for speed)
			if (!singleid || cid.IsPartOf(*singleid, nullptr))
			{
				// define the new parameter description
				BaseContainer settings = GetCustomDataTypeDefault(DTYPE_VECTOR);
				settings.SetString(DESC_NAME, "A vector"_s);
				settings.SetInt32(DESC_CUSTOMGUI, CUSTOMGUI_SUBDESCRIPTION);
			
				// set the new parameter
				if (!description->SetParameter(cid, settings, ID_OBJECTPROPERTIES))
					return false;
			}

Of course, you can add vector in userData the same way.


    bc = c4d.GetCustomDataTypeDefault(c4d.DTYPE_VECTOR)
    bc.SetString(c4d.DESC_NAME, "Parameter Name")    # displayed in the Xpresso "Object" node
    bc.SetString(c4d.DESC_SHORT_NAME, "Short Name")  # displayed in the Attribute Manager
    bc.SetInt32(c4d.DESC_CUSTOMGUI, c4d.CUSTOMGUI_SUBDESCRIPTION)


    op.AddUserData(bc)

Cheers

@m_magalhaes Huh, nice. But is this documented somewhere?

edit: Nevermind, found it.
