Hello,

I do not know how to use BitmapButton in DescriptionTool
I was able to display the BitmapButton Examine the forum.

https://developers.maxon.net/forum/topic/8106/10552_bitmapbutton

However, the breakpoint occurs when you click the button.
Also, I do not know how to get the information of the button.

Please tell me someone.

You should be looking to intercept the message that is sent on clicking the button inside your Message() override function something like this i think ( haven`t tried it yet with BitmapButton but this is how it SHOULD work) :

Bool MyPlugin::Message(GeListNode* node, LONG type, void* data)
{
  
	if (type==MSG_DESCRIPTION_COMMAND)
	{
		DescriptionCommand *dc = (DescriptionCommand* ) data;
  
		GePrint("msg = "+LongToString(dc->id[0].id));  //Prints the ID of the description object that sent the command.
  
		if (dc->id[0].id==MY_BITMAP_BUTTON)
		{
			// Do some stuff
		}
	}
  
	return TRUE;
}

Hi anoano,

if I understand you right, you may need to implement (override) the SetDParameter(). Something like this:

  
Bool YOUR_PLUGIN::SetDParameter(GeListNode *node,const DescID &id;,const GeData &t;_data,DESCFLAGS_SET &flags;)   
{   
    if(!node){return FALSE;}   
  
    int Command = id[0].id;   
       
    if(Command == YOUR_BITMAPBUTTON_ID)   
    {   
     // do something here...   
    }   
  
    return SUPER::SetDParameter(node,id,t_data,flags);   
}

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the advice.
However, I do not work because I do not fully understand.
Please advice a little more.

You might need to add the following override into your plugin aswell:

  
Bool YOUR_PLUGIN::GetDParameter(BaseDocument* doc, BaseContainer& data, const DescID& id, GeData& t_data, DESCFLAGS_GET& flags)   
{   
    switch(id[0].id)   
    {   
        case MDATA_ID:   
     {   
         flags |= DESCFLAGS_GET_PARAM_GET;   
            break;   
     }   
    }   
  
    return SUPER::GetDParameter(doc, data, id, t_data, flags);   
}

I'm not sure if it's changed in R15 though as I haven't had a chance to get into that yet.

I think I know why the button is not working.
But I can't test it because for the life of me I cannot get any dynamic gizmos to show up in a DescriptionToolData plugin.

I can use them in every other kind of plugin. But for some very strange reason they refuse to show up in a DescriptionToolData type of plugin. And I cannot figure out why. Confused
No errors. They just don't show up. As if the groupid parameter in the SetParamter() function is wrong.

Can someone please post their .res file?
I'm stumped why this is not working. When I can use it just fine in all of the other plugin types.

Ugh. Never mind.
If I create a group inside of the GetDDescription() method and put my gizmos in that group. Then the gizmos get added as expected.
I don't know why they don't work with groups created in the .res file for me. *Shrug*
