I was using StaticText as Drag&Drop; gadgets in my Dialog.
To reach a better layout I added a *.res file to my CreateLayout().

I tried the same Code I used before with StaticText.

The problem is, when dropping a object in the LinkBox it disappears. I receive the object in the "var object" and can work with it but it isnt shown in the LinkBox. So SetString isnt working any longer. What do i have to use instead of it?

You can not simply use

You have to give it an ID and define it in the 'c4d_symbols.h' header file.

Well I corrected the files, but still have the same problem...

Thank you so much Matthias!

I already had the same Code but forget to delete a "return TRUE;" at the end of my Message Funktion.
Because of that the dropped object wasn't displayed in the
Link field.

without this line everythink works perfect now.

Thank you again !!!!

one more:

There is no way to predefine a Linkbox with an object in COFFEE? I remember to have read something like that in an older post.

I don't think this is possible for dialogs. It is possible for descriptions.
