Is it possible to launch a tool plugin from a command plugin?

i.e. the commanddata plugin should execute a small ammount of code internally that changes the scene and then it should launch the tooldata plugin for the user to edit the scene in it's new state.

the commanddata plugins and the tooldata plugin are all part of the same project/module, linked together.

You can use the last one of these core messages:

    
    
     BaseContainer msg;
    
    
    
    
    #define COREMSG_CINEMA_GETCOMMANDNAME    200000033
    
    
    
    
     msg = BaseContainer(COREMSG_CINEMA_GETCOMMANDNAME);  
     msg.SetLong(COREMSG_CINEMA_GETCOMMANDNAME, id);  
     String name = SendCoreMessage(COREMSG_CINEMA, msg, 0).GetString();  
       
    #define COREMSG_CINEMA_GETCOMMANDENABLED  200000035  
       
     msg = BaseContainer(COREMSG_CINEMA_GETCOMMANDENABLED);  
     msg.SetLong(COREMSG_CINEMA_GETCOMMANDENABLED, id);  
     Bool enabled = SendCoreMessage(COREMSG_CINEMA, msg, 0).GetLong();  
       
    #define COREMSG_CINEMA_EXECUTEEDITORCOMMAND 200000023  
       
     msg = BaseContainer(COREMSG_CINEMA_EXECUTEEDITORCOMMAND);  
     msg.SetLong(COREMSG_CINEMA_EXECUTEEDITORCOMMAND, id);  
     Bool result = SendCoreMessage(COREMSG_CINEMA, msg, 0).GetLong();

Forgot about that. But the nice thing with these commands is that they work with C4D commands as well. (I think someone asked about this in the past.)
