Hi there,

After i have learned how to show/hide certain parts of a description, i am wondering if there is a way to grey out the y and z component of a VECTOR description?

or do i need to hide the VECTOR and show a LONG element?

thanks and cheers,
ELlo

You have to check for the second level in GetDEnabling(). Note that it can only work with a subchannel vector description. You can do this by adding the CUSTOMGUI SUBDESCRIPTION flag to your resource file.

> VECTOR CIRCLEOBJECT_VECTOR { UNIT REAL; MIN 0.0; CUSTOMGUI SUBDESCRIPTION; }

another question i came across.. how can i hide those vector components totally? i know how i can hide complete description elements, but not how to hide for example the y and z component of a vector?

thanks in advance,
ello

You can't hide the subchannels of a vector description. If you want full control you have to write your own vector data type and custom gui. There is an example in the SDK examples.

i was afraid of that. since this means no previous files will work after that change (due to different description ID's).. or am i missing something?

a custom datatype will not result in a different resource ID. You can still use the same ID for your own data type (of course the plugin id will be different but that shouldn´t affect loading of old files). And vector values from the container can be easily converted to the new data type. Should work imo.
