And additionally is there something like LayoutFlushGroup and LayoutChanged for description elements?
the description resource part in the docs is too less IMO...would be fine if this could be expanded. Not only description examples but also some code examples would be very helpful and would save a lot of time. (especially for the description resources are completely new)
Thanks in advance
Samir

Have you tried setting DESC_HIDE to TRUE in the container of the description element?
There's no direct way to flush the descriptions, but you'll find that GetDescription() is called pretty often. (Perhaps such a call can be forced by adding an event.)

Here's a dummy GetDDescription() I added to my MSA object. It hides the POSITIONING_FROM_POS element:

    
    
    Bool MSAObject::GetDDescription(GeListNode *node, Description *description,LONG &flags)  
    {  
     if (!description || !node) return FALSE;  
     if (!description->LoadDescription(node->GetType())) return FALSE;
    
    
    
    
     AutoAlloc<AtomArray> ar; if (!ar) return FALSE;  
     ar->Append(static_cast<Atom*>(node));
    
    
    
    
     BaseContainer* bc = description->GetParameterI(DescLevel(POSITIONING_FROM_SP), ar);  
     if (bc)  
     {  
      bc->SetBool(DESC_HIDE, TRUE);  
     }
    
    
    
    
     flags |= DESCFLAGS_DESC_LOADED;
    
    
    
    
     return ObjectData::GetDDescription(node, description, flags);  
    }
