Howdy,

Is it possible to change a CommandData's icon like the ones that have a green check for on and a red X for off?

In R9.5 sdk documentation says this:
PLUGINFLAG_COMMAND_DONT_CLONE_ICON

Do not copy the bitmap icon. The caller has to guarantee that the icon passed stays in memory.
However it is then possible to change it during runtime.

... but I can't find any examples of how to set that up.

Adios,
Cactus Dan

Check for MSG_GETCUSTOMICON messages and change the passed icon message structure to your liking.

Unfortunatly the documentation only mentions two messages for the CommandData::Message() method.

cheers,

Howdy,

The message MSG_GETCUSTOMICON is only available from R10+. Is there a way to do this in R9.5? The SDK documentation hints at it but no examples are given. :o(

Adios,

Probably I make some mistake, but I can not change the icon of my deformer plugin on runtime.
I do so:

Bool Cagedef::Message(GeListNode *node, LONG type, void *data)
switch (type)
     {
        case MSG_GETCUSTOMICON:
     {
          data= &CIconData;//this is called but nothing change!?
     }

};

The CIconData struct is created in INIT procedure in this way:

This var are global
IconData MyIconData;
GetCustomIconData CIconData;

This inside INIT:

MyIconData.bmp = BaseBitmap::Alloc();
Filename PP= GeGetPluginPath()+Filename("Res")+Filename("myicon.tif");
if(MyIconData.bmp->Init(PP,-1,NULL)==IMAGE_OK) //this seems work!
{
GePrint("Icon OK");//only for test if this work
MyIconData.x=0;
MyIconData.y=0;
MyIconData.w=MyIconData.bmp->GetBw();
MyIconData.h=MyIconData.bmp->GetBh();
CIconData.dat=&MyIconData;
CIconData.filled=TRUE;
}

Where I wrong?

Please use the RegisterIcon() to register your icons and GetIcon() to retrieve the IconData. The GradientShader.cpp example uses RegisterIcon().

I read about RegisterIcon and I saw the GradientShader.cpp example but now I have some other questions!

1-I need to obtain a new Plugin ID for every Icon I must register? In the SDK the "LONG lIconID" params seems need this?

2- How can I set my new Icon, using the GetIcon(myID,& MyIconData) I can retrive the icon but how can I set it to my operator?

Thank's
Lorenzo

Found, just for other poor man programmer like me:

case MSG_GETCUSTOMICON:
{

GetCustomIconData *icon =((GetCustomIconData* )data);
GetIcon(Icon_ID,icon->dat);
icon->filled=TRUE;

}
