Hi Masaaki,

ClickState? 

Anyway, if you want to (de)serialize data to a gh file beyond the standard, you'll need to override the Write() and Read() methods.

public override bool Write(GH_IO.Serialization.GH_IWriter writer)

{

  writer.SetBoolean("MyCustomBooleanValue", m_booleanValue);

  return base.Write(writer);

}

public override bool Read(GH_IO.Serialization.GH_IReader reader)

{

  m_booleanValue = false; // the default value

  reader.TryGetBoolean("MyCustomBooleanValue", ref m_booleanValue);

  return base.Read(reader);

}

Thanks, David. I made it!

Can I ask one more question?

When the state of my custom component is switched, I currently clicking Recompute to reflect the new state to other components.  I tried 

this.ComputeData();

or
this.m_attributes.PerformLayout();

but nothing happens unless clicking Recompute or some other places in the Canvas. How can I make this automatic?
