Howdy,

How can I get to the options of an Integer User Data through code?:

Adios,

Hi, with C4DAtom::GetDynamicDescription you can browse through the userdata of an object. With DynamicDescription::Browse* and the retrieved BaseContainer you can access all these values. Cheers, Sebastian

Howdy,

Thanks Sebastian, but which container am I looking for that will be the "Options"?

That's probably how I should have worded the question.

Adios,

Howdy,

DOH! The container is "DESC_CYCLE"!

Hehe, I should've known that.

Adios,

Howdy,

OK, I can create a User Data popup menu, and I can detect if an object has a popup menu with this code:

Bool TestCommand::Execute(BaseDocument *doc)
{
	BaseObject *op = doc->GetActiveObject();
	if(op)
	{
		DynamicDescription *dd = op->GetDynamicDescription();
		if(dd)
		{
			DescID dscID;
			const BaseContainer *bc;
			void *dscHnd = dd->BrowseInit();
			
			while(dd->BrowseGetNext(dscHnd, &dscID, &bc))
			{
				GeData gData;
				CDGetParameter(op,dscID,gData);
				if(bc->GetLong(DESC_CUSTOMGUI) == CUSTOMGUI_LONG)
				{
					BaseContainer *cycle = bc->GetContainerInstance(DESC_CYCLE);
					if(!cycle) GePrint(bc->GetString(DESC_NAME)+" - No DESC_CYCLE detected");
					else
					{
						GePrint(bc->GetString(DESC_NAME)+" - DESC_CYCLE detected");
					}
				}
			}
			dd->BrowseFree(dscHnd);
		}
	}
  
	EventAdd(EVENT_FORCEREDRAW);
	return TRUE;
}

But, how would I get the number of entries that are in the popup menu?

I'm not only interested in the current value of the popup menu User Data, but I'd also like to know how many items are available in the popup menu.

Adios,
Cactus Dan

I think you need to manually count the entries in the DESC_CYCLE container.

cheers,
