Hello;
Is there any c++ way to create a node from a custom type?
I’m searching for something more elegant than:
MGlobal::executeCommand("createNode myCustomNode")

Funny enough, by googling my question I found an answer elsewhere :)
anyway, here’s what I get :
MDagModifier dagMod;
MObject obj = dagMod.createNode(myCustomNode::id)
dagMod.doIt()
That works pretty well, but how to retrieve the myCustomNode* actual pointer then?
By the way, how do I make sure myCustomNode::id is unique and not used within another plugin?

By dishing out at least 1300$ for an ADN Subscription.
Autodesk doesn’t want you to improve the software without paying them first.
Which punches people like Students or people who want to release Plug-Ins for free right in the face.
I guess taking a random ID and hoping for the best is thus the officially accepted method if you can’t afford it.

hi there
you can use second method in the class which allows you to create nodes via their names.
MObject oMyNode = dgMod.createNode("Name of the node as MString")

btw I agree with you in terms of ADN! as far as I know APi support was free back in AW.

Is this method as well correct for iterating customNode???
// loop for iterating on locator type.
for ( MItDependencyNodes iter( myCustomNode::id ); !iter.isDone(); iter.next()){
MObject = iter.item();
//do something
}
