Hi everyone.
I'm in the midst of a complex UserData setup and I'm dynamically managing the gui. I'm trying to find a simple way to remove a group and/or it's children.
At the moment I'm looking at storing all of the IDs of both the groups and the UserData float sliders etc in arrays. But it's starting to get a bit complex and 3 levels of nested dynamic UserData which can be altered at all levels and groups for formatting is getting a bit
.But keeping it a bit more simple :
My question is. If I have the DescID of a group (say Group_02 in the image), is it possible to get the DescIDs of the children (Data_03 & Data_04 in the image) without recursing the whole UserDataContainer (Or without my own stored information)? Is this data even stored anywhere? Or does a UserData BaseContainer only have the data of the parent available?
by calling :
bc[c4d.DESC_PARENTGROUP]I can get the parent group DescID. I've been rumaging around looking at the flags and can see things like DESC_CHILDREN and DESC_CHILDS but I think they must be used for something else as they return None.
I guess I can store the IDs in the group BaseContainer when I create the UserData entries myself but I'd only do that if there was not already another way.
Any help welcome,
Thanks,
Adam

Hello,
indeed it seems that it is only possible to get the child elements of a description group by browsing all elements and checking the DESC_PARENTGROUP parameter.
Best wishes,

Ok thanks for confirming that. I'll store them myself in the container with my own ID instead.
Thanks,
