Hi,

I am trying to set up a Tag Plugin with a description for the attribute manager. In this tag I also want to allow the user to change the name of the object the tag is attached to.
adding a string-field to the description and initialising it with

data->SetString(STATION_NAME,tag->GetObject()->GetName())

crashes Cinema4D every time. even initialising the box with a string from

GeLoadString(IDS_STATION_NAME)

crashes the program.

Any ideas? Thanks,
Juergen

Need more information. Is the ID for this description valid? What does the .res file look like? Can you post the entire TagData class methods (or at least the method where this is being done)? Hard to discern the cause of the problem without some clues.

From where do you call

  
data->SetString(STATION_NAME,tag->GetObject()->GetName())

?

AFAIK you can't call it from within Init because the tag is not attached to the object yet.

cheers,
Matthias
