okay so I am able to get the dialog to open like this.

  
      case MSG_DESCRIPTION_COMMAND:{  
            
          DescriptionCommand *dc = (DescriptionCommand* ) t_data;  
          if(!dc)return FALSE;  
        
          //LOAD PRESET  
          if (dc->id==(DescID)PLANETX_SURFACE_LOAD_PRESET)  
          {  
              BrowserLibraryPopup(mx, my, width, height,ID_SURFACEPRESETS_WINDOW, CBPluginTypeDefaults, NULL, NULL);  
          }  
  
          //SAVE PRESET  
          if (dc->id==(DescID)PLANETX_SURFACE_SAVE_PRESET)  
          {  
              GePrint("Save Preset");  
          }  
      }

Now my question is, how do I get a specific .lib4d file to load in to the dialog ?

Anyone know anything about calling in files from the content browser?

In order to show your own presets you need to program your own content browser plugin. I will try to put an example together.

Is a broswer plugin made with SDKBrowser or SDKBrowserPluginInterfaceInfo ?

The plugin is derived from SDKBrowserPluginInterfaceInfo and registered with SDKBrowser::RegisterBrowserPlugin().

I have never written a browser plugin myself so currently I can't tell you much about it. I am still waiting for an answer from our developers.

Thanks Matthias,

I'm gonna have a play with it to see if I can piece one together until you hear back from them.

Okay so here is my first attempt at writing a browser plugin.

Everything works except the registration function. Does anyone see what I am doing wrong with the registration function for this plugin?

I am using the class as the SDKBrowserPluginInterfaceInfo that is required in the registration.

Here's the code:

  
  
//BROWSER INTERFACE PLUGIN  
  
#include "c4d.h"  
#include "c4d_symbols.h"  
#include "lib_browser.h"

};

}

  SubDialog* sd;

RegisterBrowserPlugin is a static method. You call it like this:

Thanks matthias. I still get this error:

Am I not allowed to use the class for the first argument for RegisterBrowserPlugin()?

Sorry I had an error in my code. You have to pass the allocted class.

  
Bool RegisterPXGBrowserPlugin(void)  
{

}

Thanks Matthias. It works now. Just have to make sure I override all methods because it's abstract.

LOL
