Hi all,

i need to detect when a Cycle button is pressed in the resource.

In fact i done a code in my Message that load and save settings for my plugin, and i tried to add another cycle button with some saved presets.
The problem is that i can't detect when is pressed because c4d don't send to me the MSG_DESCRIPTION_COMMAND.
What i need is detect when is pressed and load one of the preset inside.

Any help ?

Cheers
Renato

You don't mention if this is a dialog or attributes manager, but I'll assume the latter from your wording.

In the SetDParameter() method, check for the 'id' of the cycle button (this can be a dynamic or static resource LONG type) :

LONG did = id[0].id;
if (id == MY_CYCLEBUTTON_ID)
{
...
}

The GeData t_data argument contains the selected value of the cycle button:

LONG value = t_data.GetLong();

HTH!

Try this (including everything) :

LONG did = id[0].id;  
if (did == MY_CYCLEBUTTON_ID)  
{  
     BaseContainer*     bc = ((BaseTag* )node)->GetDataInstance();  
     if (!bc) return FALSE;  
     bc->SetLong(MY_CYCLEBUTTON_ID, t_data.GetLong());  
     flags |= DESCFLAGS_PARAM_SET;  
}

Since this is using SetDParameter() (GetDParameter() is sort of useless, isn't it?) - you have to set the container value - even though you or the user 'set' it already. ::
