User Information:

How can I retrieve user data (data that has been added with the "add userdata" dialog) from c++?
I would like to add custom data to objects (e.g. a billboard flag) and access this data during export to a custom file format.

Is the question clear? I only have a german version of C4D, maybe the dialog is called differently. It can be found in the Attribute-Editor-Menu (last Entry).
Thanks

Here's an example how to get all user data of an object: (GeDataToString() is my function.)

    
    
      BaseObject* obj = doc->GetFirstObject();  
      DynamicDescription* dd = obj->GetDynamicDescription();  
      void* handle = dd->BrowseInit();  
      DescID id; const BaseContainer* bc;  
      while (dd->BrowseGetNext(handle, &id, &bc))  
      {  
        GeData data;  
        obj->GetParameter(id, data, 0);  
        GePrint(bc->GetString(DESC_NAME) + ": " + GeDataToString(data));  
      }  
      dd->BrowseFree(handle);
