Hi,

I just want to add some drawings to my plugin object. The SDK docs tell, one has to add a call to the parent of the draw function by including

return SUPER::Draw(op, drawpass, bd, bh);

at the end of the function. But this ends with a comiler error (MS VC++ 6) :

error C2653: 'SUPER' : no class or namespace

What am I doing wrong? I didn't find any definition of "SUPER" in the h files...

you need to use the parent class instead of SUPER. If you have an object then use ObjectData::Draw(...)

You needed to define the INSTANCEOF in your class, then you can use SUPER. It makes it much easier to do changes later on rather then directly referencing a class name. (see the SDK DoubleCircle example)

Thanks. But the Draw routine of doublecircle just returns TRUE (as I also always did by now) :

  
Bool DoubleCircleData::Draw(PluginObject *op, LONG type, BaseDraw *bd, BaseDrawHelp *bh)  
{  
     if (type!=DRAWPASS_HANDLES) return TRUE;  
  
     BaseContainer *data = op->GetDataInstance();  
  
     Matrix m = bh->GetMg();  
       
     bd->SetPen(GetWorldColor(COLOR_ACTIVEPOINT));  
  
     bd->Handle3D(GetRTHandle(op,0)*m,HANDLE_BIG);  
     bd->Line3D(GetRTHandle(op,0)*m,m.off);  
       
     return TRUE;

What I mean, is the advice in the sdk docs:

>>
Draw additional information for your object in the editor. Be sure to call the parent version by including this call at the end of the function:

return SUPER::Draw(op, drawpass, bd, bh);
<<

Or do I missunderstand something?

Take a look at the class definition, I was referring to the INSTANCEOF and how to use it so you can reference the SUPER marco. Generally it is best to call the SUPER::function and leave it as the default unless you want to be sure a certain value (non-default) is returned (i.e. on error etc.).
