Hide custom shape class from Create panel (C++ SDK)

[Anonymous]

I implemented a custom shape class:

class MyCustomShape : public SplineShape
{
    // some work
}

And then I registered it through the call of the LibClassDesc function, as detailed in the Required DLL functions  documentation. But I really don't want it to be available in the Create panel, just through some UI components I implemented, is it possible?

Should

IsPublic() { return false; }

not do this ?

Usually I fight with not showing it 😉

Right, sir. Thanks! 🙂

well... but just for reference... it makes the plugin not visible for whole system (except api), not only for the modify (or create) panel. Which makes the plugin not creatable via mxs for example.

Well, could be - I never used it before. I usually fight with the opposite, that my code does not show at all 😉

On the other hand with some code lines for MXS it could get "accessible" again.

honestly i could not find the way how to make api plugin 'invisible' for Create(Modify) panel, the same easy way as we can do it for a scripted plug-in by specifying #invisible option.
