Add Inputs like in the "Merge"-Component

Hy Guys,

is it possible to add Inputs to a Costum Component like it is done in the Merge Component? Just via a "plus" and "minus" button in the component itself?

Nice greets

Alex

Hi Alexander,

Merge uses two ways of adding inputs. It has the Plus and Minus ZUI and it also automatically adds a new input if the bottom-most one is connected. Adding the plus-and-minus ZUI is fairly easy. All you need to do is implement the IGH_VariableParameterComponent interface in your GH_Component derived class.

You'll need to implement 5 methods which have all been fully commented. If you search this forum for "IGH_VariableParameterComponent" there will be some good hits. Also the original post introducing the IGH_VariableParameterComponent interface is worth reading.
