Uniquely identifiying a Group node in Project Viewer plugin
Submitted by drequena on Sunday, 16 August, 2009 - 12:54
Hi all,

Hope this is the right forum to ask.

Project Viewer plugin allows for project groups with the same name even at the same tree depth level. I need to get at the same VPTGroup node on each run when my own plugin initializes but cant use node paths plus node names for this purpose. Storing an index into and array of equally named groups wouldn't work either as groups before mine could get deleted form PV's main ui.

Setting a custom Icon for my Group could be a solution as I could check on this bu then, no method is available for setting node Icons, just for getting them.. Maybe I've overlooked this?

I've been studying PV's api but couldn't find anything appropriate. Anyone could give any hint?

Thanks in advance,
David

I don't understand the problem with storing the index. You can find the index on exit, or alternatively find it on startup and use PV listeners (which are currently plain edit-bus message handlers) to know when (or how) to update the index.

How about having your plugin use some unique path in your group? e.g. use a group name that is very unlikely to be manually created, or alternatively, include some uniquely named node inside the group.
