im having a problem with storage of object links in a container
look at this
if (roottag)
  {
   BaseContainer *data=roottag->GetDataInstance();
   LONG count=data->GetLong(10001);
if (object) GePrint ("ok object exists"); // the object i will store exists
   data->SetLink(count*3+2,(BaseObject* )object);   // store this link
  BaseObject *test = data->GetObjectLink(count*3+2,doc); // get this link
  if (test) GePrint ("ok got it!!"); // validate link

data->SetLong(10001,++count);
}

when i test the link , it doesnt exist ????
the link is not there although i just wrote it to the data basecontainer.
whats going on here

cheers

sorted it.
the problem was with the object i was trying to link.
it came from
void *obj = NULL;
GetDragObject(msg,&type,&obj);
so i needed to get the real object from the atomarray
BaseObject *RealObject= (BaseObject* )((AtomArray* )obj)->GetIndex(0);
then i have the correct object.

cheers
