Dear all,

is there a way to add Custom Property to objects in native C++?


The SDK C++ examples call:

It looks like C++ code is calling some external/outer functions. If the application is written in C++, I would prefer calling native C++ functions to have clean C++ code.


The same I would like to know for Displaying Property Dialogs. C++ SDK examples use:

I did not find anything in Softimage SDK Guide. Thank you.

Commands like SIAddProp are implemented in C++.
The XSI SDK object model is also implemented in C++.

You could use the Object Model to add properties. Again there, you’d be using objects implemented outside of your code.

To open a PPG, you’ll have to use InspectObj.

Hello Stephen,

if I understand correctly, SIAddProp and InspectObj are themselves written in C++. If I want to call them, the only way for me is going through ExecuteCommand. There is no other more straightforward way.

Best regards.

Right, there’s no other way to call XSI commands.

Thanks for your answer.

Regards.
