I always get nil when readingmsg->GetData(BFM_DRAG_FINISHED)
Is it broken? This way I can't determine if a user released the mouse. Thank you very much in advance for any help.

Hi Rui,
here is an old message method of one of my old COFFEE Plugins, this did work, don´t know if it still works but it should:
MyDialog::Message(msg)
{
var doc = GetActiveDocument(),op;
if(msg->GetId() == BFM_DRAGRECEIVE)
{
if(CheckDropArea(FIND, msg, TRUE, TRUE))
{
if (msg->GetData(BFM_DRAG_FINISHED))
{
fobj= GetDragObject(msg);
SetString(FIND, fobj->GetName());
return TRUE;
}
op = GetActiveObject(doc);
SetString(FIND,stradd("Insert ",op->GetName()));
return SetDragDestination(MOUSE_POINT_HAND);
}
else SetString(FIND," ");
}
return super::Message(msg);
}
FIND is an id for a statictext field.

Thank you Samir. I'm going to try it. Just one question. Does it only work with static text fields? Doesn't it work with edit fields too?

It doesn't work Samir
Check ou the comments I included in the code.if(msg->GetId()==BFM_DRAGRECEIVE) { if (CheckDropArea(FIND_MAT_TXT1,msg,TRUE,TRUE)) { if (msg->GetData(BFM_DRAG_FINISHED)) { dropped = GetDragObject(msg); SetString(FIND_MAT_TXT1, dropped->GetName()); println("***"); // This never gets printed return TRUE; } return SetDragDestination(MOUSE_POINT_HAND); //this is not even accepted by C4D. It returns "Expression expected" } } return super::Message(msg); }Maybe something changed in the SDK. For the guys who did the changes in the latest SDK, how can I detect that a user released the mouse inside some gadget?

Hi,
it does work fine for me. Even with an edittext field. Here is an example plugin. it works without any problems in c4d 8.1:
Just copy this code into a cof file.var PLUGIN_ID = 1010111; class MyDialog : GeDialog { public: MyDialog(); CreateLayout(); Message(msg); } MyDialog::MyDialog() { super(PLUGIN_ID); } enum { DRAG_TEST=1000 } MyDialog::CreateLayout() { AddEditText(DRAG_TEST , BFH_SCALE, 200, 0); return TRUE; } var obj; MyDialog::Message(msg) { if(msg->GetId() == BFM_DRAGRECEIVE) { if(CheckDropArea(DRAG_TEST, msg, TRUE, TRUE)) { obj= GetDragObject(msg); SetString(DRAG_TEST, obj->GetName()); SetDragDestination(MOUSE_POINT_HAND); return TRUE; } } return super::Message(msg); } class MyMenuPlugin : MenuPlugin { public: MyMenuPlugin(); GetID(); GetName(); GetHelp(); Execute(doc); RestoreLayout(secret); } MyMenuPlugin::MyMenuPlugin() { super(); } MyMenuPlugin::GetID() { return PLUGIN_ID; } MyMenuPlugin::GetName() { return "Drag"; } MyMenuPlugin::GetHelp() { return "Drag"; } var d; MyMenuPlugin::Execute(doc) { d->Open(TRUE,-1,-1); } MyMenuPlugin::RestoreLayout(secret) { if (!d) d = new(MyDialog); d->RestoreLayout(secret); } main() { d = new(MyDialog); Register(MyMenuPlugin); }Best

Then you have made something wrong or the copy & paste didn´t work correctly. It works here without problems. So it should work for you either.

I can do it now, but I have another problem. Since you are being so helpful, could you give me just a little more help, Samir?
Check this out:if (instanceof(dropped,BaseTag)) { if(dropped->GetType() == 5616) { drop_find=dropped->GetMaterial(); println(drop_find->GetName()); ...I assumed that this was the way to get the name of the material that sits inside the Material Tag. But I get a Member not Found at the println line.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you very much in advence.Rui Batista

Hi,
GetMaterial will return a Marker and not an object. You will have to go through all Materials and compare the material marker with the returned marker. If they are the same you can use that found material. Afaik there is no other way in COFFEE yet.

Know what? It's not working
I did the following:matmarker1=dropped->GetMaterial(); mat = doc->GetFirstMaterial(); while(mat&&(matmarker2=mat->GetMarker())!=matmarker1)mat=mat->GetNext(); if(!mat)return FALSE;But it never finds any match. I read the the dropped->GetMaterial() returns a marker that is only valid at runtime. What could this mean?

I just pasted the code that does the search, Samir. The code that uses the found mat would follow. In fact, it already exists. I just did a println(mat->GetName());
But it never reaches that part of the code.
I even placed a println(dropped); before and I get a different value all the time. Even when keeping the mouse still inside the field I want the tag to be dragged to. It just spits out a list of different values. Like if the value of dropped is changing all the time. (by the way, dropped value is set by dropped = GetDragObject(msg);)
In short, how can I get the name of the material assigned to a specific material tag?Rui Batista

well, you could try to get the material link of the texture tag. Isn´t this possible in COFFEE? The id for the Container ID is 1010 (TEXTURETAG_MATERIAL). You could then use this object (or maybe it´s a string returned) to get the name and use FindMaterial to get the material. But I don´t know if this will work.

Isn't that what matmarker1=dropped->GetMaterial(); does? Getting the material that is assigned to the tag pointed by dropped?
Since dropped passed these two tests:if (instanceof(dropped,BaseTag))
{
if(dropped->GetType() == 5616)(5616 is the value of TTexture)
I assumed that dropped is a pointer to the texture tag itself. Isn't it?

yes dropped is a pointer to the texture tag, but getmaterial will only give you a marker but not the name of the material. What I told you to do is to get the material name directly out of the TextureTag container but this doesn´t seem to work.
So, the only way spontaneously said to me is the markers.
