Hi all 
Is it possible to get (not set) the object's name at edit time? I know you can do it at run time, but I wondered whether it's possible in the IDE. So someone renames the object to 'Bill', double-clicks on the object, and a popup comes up that says "Hi, I'm Bill"? XD
It could be useful
MakeIconEx
int WINAPI DLLExport MakeIconEx ( mv _far *mV, cSurface* pIconSf, LPSTR lpName, fpObjInfo oiPtr, LPEDATA edPtr )
The MakeIconEx routine draws into a surface the icon to use when displaying the object in the object bar or in the Event editor.
Parameters
mv _far *mV pointer to a mv information structure
cSurface* pIconSf surface to load the icon into
LPSTR lpName name of the object
fpObjInfo oiPtr pointer to an OI structure
LPEDATA edPtr pointer to the EDITDATA structureReturn value
0 is OK, any value that is not 0 indicates that an error has been detected.Comments
This function must load or draw the icon of the object into the pIconSf surface. You can change the size of the surface, MMF will reduce it to the correct size if necessary. MMF uses 32 x 32 icons.
Old versions of this function were able to change the name via the lpName parameter. This is not recommended in this version.
This function is optional. By default it is not implemented in the template. When this function is not present, MMF directly loads the EXO_ICON icon from the resources of the extension and consider that the first pixel of the icon contains the transparent color.
Best I could find. I think you can just invalidate the object and have MMF2 ask your ext to redraw itself, thus calling this func.
Try harder, LB! X) Any Edittime function with an fpObjInfo parameter, which is a pointer to an OI, has the oiName field. You can probably use that. Your best bet is probably EditObject I guess.
I have a feeling that I found the oiName field, and that that was blank too! XD But I'll double-check later
Can't edit my own post... anyway, I checked, and oiName is blank from within EditObject().
