The only thing that really works is sending an update to the document every time.

Have you considered C++?
Although the MultiMessage() is not recommended, if it works continue using it. Though it's not good that it doesn't work in R9 at all.
Another possibility is to do what you said you needed to do manually - deselect and reselect the tag. This can done in COFFEE by setting the BIT_ATAG with SetBit(), DelBit(), ToggleBit(). The problem is that I don't think that these work in R10 - because R10 has made these deprecated for a new set of flags and COFFEE isn't up-to-date to use them.

I heard people say that we have to push Maxon into putting more time into the C.O.F.F.E. developpment, and now I know why. Thought that it could handle such easy things like changing the projection of a material with a button.
On the other hand this might be a good occasion for taking a look into C++ (which I once learned in school, but that was a loong time ago)
I tried to use the
> doc- >SetActiveTag(obj, tag);
method to select a tag, but it seams that COFFEE doesn't provide a way to select NO tag. -

Howdy,
Did you try this:

Howdy,
Hmmm, that's too bad. It works that way in C++. Maybe it IS a good time to check into C++. ;o)

Yeah, so in the future I might flood this forum with a lot of noob questions about this and that in C++. So beware, I'm comming.
I'm probably going to change the username, lol
Anyway, thank you for your help, guys.

We are currently investigating why there is a refresh missing.

I think I blamed COFFEE for the wrong reason. C++ has the same problem.

As already menshioned, this works only for the first time. After that I have to select and deselect the texture tag to make the changes happen. Selection/deselection another object doesn't refresh the scene, only selecting/deselection the texture tag.I tried several way of doing the refresh in C++.

I even tried to do the select/deselect mannually as stated by Robert, but none of these work. Only the first time they work.And since C++ has no MultiMessage() Method I don't know how to make the changes except deleting the texture tag and creating a new one with the new projection.

To change the projection here, you need to use something like this:
tag- >SetParameter(DescLevel(TEXTURETAG_PROJECTION), GeData(TEXTURETAG_PROJECTION_UVW), 0L);
You'll find that some parameters can be set using its BaseContainer while others require using SetParameter(). The latter case mainly for parameters displayed in the Attributes Manager which are stored in Description resources.
A better way to work with BaseContainers in C++ is this:
BaseContainer* bc = tag- >GetDataInstance();
bc->SetX(id, value);Hope that helps!

Yeah, I have read about the SetParameters. But the method via BaseContainer also works. He makes the changes, but doesn't display them.

It works - up to the point where the changes aren't updated in the A.M. That's why you must use SetParameter() for this. Think of the Description as a wrapper around the BaseContainer which stores the value as well as configuration of the gui element used in the A.M.

Turned out the missing refresh is a bug.
