ActionItem Class Reference

#include <actiontable.h>

Class Description

Represents an operation contained in an ActionTabls.

ActionItem is an abstract class with operations to support various UI operations. The system provides a default implementation of this class that works when the table is built with the ActionTable::BuildActionTable() method. However, developers may want to specialize this class for more special-purpose applications. For example, MAXScript does this to export macroScripts to an ActionTable. Methods that are marked as internal should not be used.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Constructor.

virtual CoreExport ~ActionItem ( )
virtual

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

virtual int GetId ( )
pure virtual

Retrieves a unique identifier for the action.

This action must be unique in the table, but not does not have to be unique between tables.

virtual BOOL ExecuteAction ( )
pure virtual

Executes the operation associated with the action item.

This returns a BOOL that indicates if the action was actually executed. If the item is disabled, or if the table that owns it is not activated, then it won't execute, and returns FALSE.

Returns
TRUE if the action is executed; otherwise FALSE.
virtual CoreExport void EmitMacro ( )
virtual

Called by 3ds Max to allow the ActionItem to customize macroRecorder output for this action.

CoreExport BOOL Execute ( )

Calls ExecuteAction() and handles macro recording etc.

Called by 3ds Max.

virtual void GetButtonText ( MSTR buttonText)
pure virtual

Retrieves the text that will be used when the ActionItem is on a text button.

The text is stored into the buttonText parameter.

Parameters
[out]buttonText- The retrieved text.
virtual void GetMenuText ( MSTR menuText)
pure virtual

Retrieves the text to use when the item is on a menu (either Quad menu or main menu bar).

This can be different from the button text. This method is called just before the menu is displayed, so it can update the text at that time. For example, the "Undo" menu item in 3ds Max's main menu adds the name of the command that will be undone.

Parameters
[out]menuText- The retrieved text.
virtual void GetDescriptionText ( MSTR descText)
pure virtual

Retrieves the text that will be used for tool tips and menu help.

This is also the string that is displayed for the operation in all the lists in the customization dialogs.

Parameters
[out]descText- The retrieved text.
virtual void GetCategoryText ( MSTR catText)
pure virtual

Retrieves the text for the category of the operation.

This is used in the customization dialog to fill the "category" drop-down list.

Parameters
[out]catText- The retrieved text.
virtual BOOL IsChecked ( )
pure virtual

Returns whether a menu item is in a checked state, or if a button is in a pressed state.

For menus, this means that this function will return TRUE if a check mark appears next to the item. If the item is on a button, this is used to determine of the button is in the "Pressed" state. Note that button states are automatically updated on selection change and command mode changes. If your plug-in performs an operation that requires the CUI buttons to be redrawn, you need to call the method CUIFrameMgr::SetMacroButtonStates(TRUE).

Returns
TRUE if menu item is checked, or if a button is 'pressed'. FALSE otherwise
virtual BOOL IsIndeterminate ( )
inlinevirtual

Returns whether an item is in an indeterminate state This is an optional state that can be implemented when the state of the action can be both checked and unchecked.

When implemented return TRUE if the condition of your action is both checked and unchecked. For instance an action that sets/displays the state of a multiple nodes frozen property when you have nodes that are both frozen and unfrozen this would return TRUE and instead of a check the action will display a dash. If this returns TRUE the isChecked state is ignored. NOTE actions with pushbutton icons will not display this state

Returns
TRUE if menu item is in an indeterminate state
190 {return FALSE;};
virtual BOOL IsItemVisible ( )
pure virtual

Determines if an item is visible on a context menu.

If it returns FALSE, then the item is not included in the menu. This can be used to create items that a context sensitive. For example, you may want an item to appear on a menu only when the selected object is of a particular type. To do this, you have this method check the class id of the current selection.

virtual BOOL IsEnabled ( )
pure virtual

Determines if the operation is available to the user.

If this method returns FALSE, and the ActionItem it is on a menu, or button, the item is grayed out. If it assigned to a keyboard shortcut, then it will not execute the operation if invoked. If your plugin performs an operation that requires the CUI buttons to be redrawn, you need to call the method CUIFrameMgr::SetMacroButtonStates(TRUE)

Returns
TRUE for enabled; FALSE for disabled.
CoreExport MaxIcon* GetIcon ( )

Returns an icon associated with an ActionItem.

First checks the result of GetIconImp(), then looks at ActionTable::GetIcon(int). If both functions return NULL, then this action has no Icon associated with it.

Returns
Icon associated with this action.
virtual void DeleteThis ( )
pure virtual

Called by 3ds Max to delete the ActionItem.

This normally happens when the table that owns it is deleted.

virtual CoreExport ActionTable* GetTable ( )
virtual

Returns a pointer to the table that owns the ActionItem.

An item can only be owned by a single table.

Default Implementation
{ return mpTable; }
virtual CoreExport void SetTable ( ActionTable pTable)
virtual

Sets the table that owns the item.

Used internally. May be used if you implement a custom sub-class of ActionItem.

Parameters
pTable- Points to the table to set.
Default Implementation:
{ mpTable = pTable; }
CoreExport const MCHAR* GetShortcutString ( )

Returns the string that describes all the keyboard shortcuts associated with the item.

This will look something like "Alt+A" or "C, Shift+Alt+Q".

Returns
NULL if no keyboard shortcut is associated with the item.
virtual CoreExport MacroEntry* GetMacroScript ( )
virtual

Returns the representation of the macroScript for the item, if it's implemented by a macroScript, it returns NULL otherwise.

Returns
A pointer to a MacroEntry
Default Implementation
{ return NULL; }
virtual CoreExport BOOL IsDynamicMenu ( )
virtual

Determines if a menu is created or if an action takes place.

Returns
If this method returns TRUE, then the ActionItem creates a menu. If it returns FALSE then an action is performed.
Default Implementation
{ return FALSE; }
virtual CoreExport void SetIsDynamicMenu ( )
virtual

This method may be called after an action item is created to tell the system that it is a dynamic menu action.

Note
Dynamic menus may be added to the quad menus procedurally (via the IMenuManager API) or 'manually'.
virtual CoreExport IMenu* GetDynamicMenu ( HWND  hwnd,
IPoint2 m 
)
virtual

If the ActionItem does produce a menu, this method is called to return a pointer to the menu.

See class DynamicMenu for an easy way to produce these menus.

Parameters
hwnd- If the menu is requested by a right-click quad menu, then this hwnd is the handle of the window where the click occurred. If the item is used from a menu bar, this hwnd will be NULL.
m- If the menu is requested by a right-click quad menu, then this parameter is the point in the window where the user clicked.
Returns
A pointer to the menu.
Default Implementation:
{ return NULL; }
virtual CoreExport BOOL IsDynamicAction ( )
virtual

ActionItems that are deleted after they execute should return TRUE.

CoreExport BOOL HasIcon ( )

Returns TRUE if the ActionItem specifies an icon.

CoreExport bool GetIconFileName ( MSTR fileName)

If the ActionItem specifies an icon, accesses the icon filename.

Parameters
fileName- If the ActionItem specifies an icon, then the icon filename is returned through this parameter.
Returns
true if the ActionItem specifies an icon, otherwise false.
CoreExport int GetIconIndex ( )

If the ActionItem specifies an icon, returns the icon index.

Returns
If the ActionItem specifies an icon then the icon index, otherwise -1.
CoreExport MSTR GetTooltipKey ( )

Get the Action's tooltip key.

The tooltip key may be associated with a product tooltip. By default, the tooltip key is built as "actionTableID-actionID" for native actions and as "Category-MacroName" for macros.

Returns
a string with the tooltip key
CoreExport void SetTooltipKey ( const MCHAR tooltipKey)

Set the Action's tooltip key.

The function does not verify if the key is unique or not.

tooltipKey - a string with the tooltip key
CoreExport MaxSDK::Util::Path GetIconPath ( IconSize  size)

virtual CoreExport FPInterfaceDesc* GetDescByID ( Interface_ID  id)
virtual
Remarks
This method is used to directly implement FPInterface::GetDesc() in your public virtual base mixin class, like this;

FPInterfaceDesc* GetDesc() { return GetDescByID(THIS_INTERFACE_ID); }

Then implement a GetDescByID() in the implementing class to avoid link export issues.
Parameters:
Interface_ID id

The unique interface ID by which to get the FPInterfaceDesc.
Default Implementation:
{ return &nullInterface; }

Reimplemented from FPMixinInterface.

virtual CoreExport FPInterfaceDesc* GetDesc ( )
