Need To Change Curve Color Via The Api

[robtheg]

Is it possible to change the color of a NURBS curve from the API? I know how to do it in MEL, but I'd like to know if there's a way to do it from C++ without invoking the MEL commands.

The closest I could come was the following:

    MFnNurbsCurve curveFn;
    int nColorNumber = someNumber;

stat = curveFn.setObject( nurbsCurveObj );
stat = curveFn.setUseObjectColor( true );
stat = curveFn.setObjectColor( nColorNumber );
stat = curveFn.updateCurve();

This is supposed to apply one of the user defined color types, but no matter what number I put in 'nColorNumber' it always applies the 'User Defined Color 1'

Any suggestions?

Well while i agree with thet you can nevertheless change it via the api in just the same way as mel by changing the plug value. However assuming its any more effective to do via api would be stupid it is as innefective as doing it via mel. Atleast the mel code is easy to write.
