Here's the code I am using.
I am trying to get the MDATA_SUBDIVIDE_SUB to pull the number that is entered in to the NUM_SUBDIVISIONS text box to set the number of subdivisions.

I keep getting this error.

subdivisiontool.cpp(80) : error C2664: 'String::StringToLong' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'String' to 'LONG *'

Anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks,

~Shawn

Need more information/code. What is NUM_SUBDIVISIONS defined as in the description resource file (.res)? It would be easier to define it as LONG and then simply get LONG amount = mdat.bc->GetLong(NUM_SUBDIVISIONS).

I'm not sure why you are getting this value from a ModelingCommandData. Wouldn't it be something entered by the user into the dialog associated with the tool plugin?

okay I ended up just using a LONG instead of a string. so that worked well. Now I'd like to set the default value of a LONG field to contain the number of polygons in the object.

This is the code I am using to set my default values.

Setting the polygon count is not working.. What am I doing wrong. This learning curve is killing me. LOL
