I think this question will be better served in one or both of the forums available:

You want to use DAZ to do the selections - not in your tab. It is easy to tell in your plugin what is currently selected.

The sceneinfo example checks for selection, among other things.

If you are talking about a plugin dll, you'll want to base your plugin off the "DzSceneIfo" plugin sample (in the samples directory of the 4.5 SDK).  This will create a dockable pane window.

To get the list of objects in the scene tab, you can use something along the lines of:

DzNodeListIterator	nodeIt( dzScene->nodeListIterator() );while( nodeIt.hasNext() ){    DzNode *n = nodeIt.next();    // do stuff with each node here}

even if it is only storing them in an array.  You can also check each node to see if it is a root node, if you only want root nodes ( ... if(n->isRootNode()) { ... } ... )

If you want to have them multi-select nodes in the pane, you'll have to do the above, then provide some widget interface to list them and allow them to be selected.

If you just want to operate on what is already selected in the scene pane, just use dzScene->selectedNodeListIterator() in the above instead of dzScene->nodeListIterator().

 

If you are talking about doing this in Daz Script, instead of as a plugin DLL (not sure how you'd save something as a DLL file from within a script?) you will still do much the same, but I'm not sure you can build pane objects in script, as they are persistent.....you probably can, but it would be pretty tricky and a bit slow.  You won't use iterators, but instead loop through a list obtained with dzScene->getNodeList()  or  dzScene->getSelectedNodeList() respectively.....
