Hello,

I'm creating a tag plugin and need an LISTVIEW element (like for dialogs) in the container, which should appears in the Attributemanager. But unfortunately this element is only for dialogs available. Is there a simple way to using this also in the basecontainer of a tag?

regards
Markus

Hi Marky,
the following seems to get something showing in R12, you may be able to adapt for R13? I use it in the GetDDescription().

cid_Tree = DescLevel(ID_OF_TREE_HERE, CUSTOMGUI_TREEVIEW, 0);  
if (!id_Tree || cid_Tree.IsPartOf(*id_Tree,NULL))  
{  
BaseContainer locked = GetCustomDataTypeDefault(CUSTOMGUI_TREEVIEW);  
locked.SetLong(DESC_CUSTOMGUI, CUSTOMGUI_TREEVIEW);  
locked.SetBool(DESC_HIDE, Data_Bank);  
locked.SetLong(TREEVIEW_BORDER, BORDER_BLACK);  
locked.SetBool(TREEVIEW_OUTSIDE_DROP, TRUE);  
locked.SetBool(TREEVIEW_HAS_HEADER, TRUE);  
locked.SetLong(DESC_ANIMATE, DESC_ANIMATE_OFF);  
locked.SetString(DESC_NAME, "Treeview");  
locked.SetString(DESC_SHORT_NAME, "Treeview");  
if (!description->SetParameter(cid_Tree, locked, DescLevel(ID_TAB_TREEVIEW))) return TRUE;  
}

Hope this helps!

Could you possibly post a more complete example of this WP?

There's a lot off specific resource files needed for this. And I'm having a hard time figuring it out how to recreate all those .h, .res, .str files based on your little .cpp snippet.

Hi Scott,

I'll try...!! I'm not really sure what to add being just a beginner at this but...

Basically the code snippet above goes straight into the GetDDescription(). I don't use any external resource files to build the AM. Just a preference I have to keep everything in the same .cpp file I guess. However I did need to add this header:

#include "..\..\..\resource\_api\c4d_customgui\customgui_listview.h"

If you search for TREEVIEW in the sdk browser and select the TREEVIEW_Settings you should get a list of flags to use with it. I did have some troubles getting anything to work with what I have above - such as dragging and dropping an object to the list - but I didn't spend much time trying to recreate that side of it.

If you can bare with me for a day or two I'll see if I can add a bit more functionality to it.

Kind regards,

Phil - a.k.a. WickedP!

Thanks,

But the problem I'm having is you have some custom things in your code. Things that are not defined in that customgui_listview.h file.
And you don't show where they come from. So they are undefined when I paste your code into my own tag plugin.

    DescID cid_Tree;  
  cid_Tree = DescLevel(ID_OF_TREE_HERE, CUSTOMGUI_TREEVIEW, 0);     //ID_OF_TREE_HERE?...where is this in your files?  
  if(!id_Tree || cid_Tree.IsPartOf(*id_Tree,NULL))                  //id_Tree?.......... where is this in your files?         
  {  
   BaseContainer locked = GetCustomDataTypeDefault(CUSTOMGUI_TREEVIEW);  
   locked.SetLong(DESC_CUSTOMGUI, CUSTOMGUI_TREEVIEW);  
   locked.SetBool(DESC_HIDE, Data_Bank);                            //Data_Bank? ........where is this in your files?   
   locked.SetLong(TREEVIEW_BORDER, BORDER_BLACK);  
   locked.SetBool(TREEVIEW_OUTSIDE_DROP, TRUE);  
   locked.SetBool(TREEVIEW_HAS_HEADER, TRUE);  
   locked.SetLong(DESC_ANIMATE, DESC_ANIMATE_OFF);  
   locked.SetString(DESC_NAME, "Treeview");  
   locked.SetString(DESC_SHORT_NAME, "Treeview");  
   if(!description->SetParameter(cid_Tree, locked, DescLevel(ID_TAB_TREEVIEW))) return TRUE; //ID_TAB_TREEVIEW?...where is this in your files?   
  }

Someplace in your code you have these custom things defined.
I've tried to substitute the items that are undefined with various things. But when I do that I can't get a tree gui to show up in my tag's AM at all.

Ah - my apologies Scott,

I see what you mean now. See if the following is of more help:

enum  
{  
 ID_TAB_TREE = 50000,  
 ID_TAB_TREEVIEW,  
 ID_OF_TREE_HERE,  
};
 
// and then the Description function:
 
Bool EXPERIMENTS::GetDDescription(GeListNode *node, Description *description, DESCFLAGS_DESC & flags)  
{  
  Bool Data_Bank;
     const DescID *id_Tree = description->GetSingleDescID();       // THE "TREE" TAB
 
 Data_Bank = FALSE;
 
 DescID cid_Tree = DescLevel(ID_TAB_TREE, DTYPE_GROUP, 0);  
 if (!id_Tree || cid_Tree.IsPartOf(*id_Tree,NULL))  
 {  
 BaseContainer group = GetCustomDataTypeDefault(DTYPE_GROUP);  
 group.SetBool(DESC_HIDE, Data_Bank);  
 group.SetString(DESC_NAME, "Tree Tab");  
 group.SetString(DESC_SHORT_NAME, "Tree Tab");  
 if (!description->SetParameter(cid_Tree, group, DescLevel(0))) return TRUE;  
 }
 
 cid_Tree = DescLevel(ID_TAB_TREEVIEW, DTYPE_GROUP, 0);  
 if (!id_Tree || cid_Tree.IsPartOf(*id_Tree,NULL))  
 {  
 BaseContainer subgroup = GetCustomDataTypeDefault(DTYPE_GROUP);  
 subgroup.SetLong(DESC_COLUMNS, 1);  
 subgroup.SetBool(DESC_HIDE, Data_Bank);  
 subgroup.SetString(DESC_NAME, "");  
 subgroup.SetString(DESC_SHORT_NAME, "");  
 if (!description->SetParameter(cid_Tree, subgroup, DescLevel(ID_TAB_TREE))) return TRUE;  
 }
 
  cid_Tree = DescLevel(ID_OF_TREE_HERE, CUSTOMGUI_TREEVIEW, 0);  
if (!id_Tree || cid_Tree.IsPartOf(*id_Tree,NULL))  
{  
BaseContainer locked = GetCustomDataTypeDefault(CUSTOMGUI_TREEVIEW);  
locked.SetLong(DESC_CUSTOMGUI, CUSTOMGUI_TREEVIEW);  
locked.SetBool(DESC_HIDE, Data_Bank);  
locked.SetLong(TREEVIEW_BORDER, BORDER_BLACK);  
locked.SetBool(TREEVIEW_OUTSIDE_DROP, TRUE);  
locked.SetBool(TREEVIEW_HAS_HEADER, TRUE);  
locked.SetLong(DESC_ANIMATE, DESC_ANIMATE_OFF);  
locked.SetString(DESC_NAME, "Treeview");  
locked.SetString(DESC_SHORT_NAME, "Treeview");  
if (!description->SetParameter(cid_Tree, locked, DescLevel(ID_TAB_TREEVIEW))) return TRUE;  
}
  
flags |= DESCFLAGS_DESC_LOADED;
return TRUE;
}

Is that more of what you were after?
