SDK, How to pass argument to my own plugin...

[Dariusz1989]

Hey

I'm neck deep in sdk and already losing my marbles here... so maybe some1 can give me a hint.

Say I have this in JSX to run my plugin

var miTestPluginVar= stringIDToTypeID( "miTestPluginUniqueIDBlablabla" );
executeAction( miTestPluginVar, undefined, DialogModes.NO );

How could I pass to it a string? Can I ? 

I take I will be able to "fish it out of " > 

DLLExport SPAPI SPErr AutoPluginMain(const char *caller,
                                     const char *selector,
                                     void *message)

Message somehow, by casting it to something and then "black magic" happens. But to get to that point... 

Regards

Dariusz

The second param to executeAction is an ActionDescriptor (JavaScript). Fill that up with your data with Put* calls and get it out of the message in AutoPluginMain with ActionDescriptor (C++) Get* calls. See Hidden and AutomationFilter for an example.

@Tom Ruark Thank you for the ping! Looks interesting, I noticed some parts of it now, will dig more !

Also so to this post > https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-bugs/including-piuaszstring-cause-entire-sdk-to-e... I cant post in that topic for some reason. In any case, I got it "fixed" by removing all the test projects from my cmake project (im on windows & cmake) Still trying to wrap my head around how to build it all in cmake/etc. 

Thank you for help! Will be back to this topic later on once I have some updates on the data flow.

See if you may at least mark for formality my newest reply in that thread as correct.
