Class Description

Description:

This class represents the unique class ID for a 3ds Max plug-in. A plug-ins Class_ID must be unique. A program is provided with the SDK to generate these ClassIDs. It is VERY important you use this program to create the ClassIDs for your plug-ins. To generate a random Class_ID and optionally copy it to the clipboard, run the gencid.exe program. A Class_ID consists of two unsigned 32-bit quantities. The constructor assigns a value to each of these, for example Class_ID(0xCAD834E2, 0x27E47C5A).

All the methods of this class are implemented by the system.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Class_ID ( )

inline

Remarks

Constructor.

Assigns a value of 0xFFFFFFFF to each 32-bit quantity.

{ a = b = 0xffffffff; }

Class_ID ( const Class_ID &  cid )

inline

Remarks

Constructor.

Creates a new class ID with the same values as the argument.

Parameters:

const Class_ID& cid

A reference to the Class ID to copy.

{ a = cid.a; b = cid.b; }

Class_ID ( ulong  aa, ulong  bb  )

inline

Remarks

Constructor.

This is the standard constructor to be used by 3ds Max plug-ins. Each of the 32-bit quantities may be assigned separately.

Parameters:

ulong aa

Assigned to the first 32-bit quantity.

ulong bb

Assigned to the second 32-bit quantity.

{ a = aa; b = bb; }

Member Function Documentation

ULONG PartA ( ) const

inline

Remarks

Returns the first unsigned 32-bit quantity.

{ return a; }

ULONG PartB ( ) const

inline

Remarks

Returns the second unsigned 32-bit quantity.

Operators:

{ return b; }

void SetPartA ( ulong  aa )

inline

{ a = aa; } //-- Added 11/21/96 GG

void SetPartB ( ulong  bb )

inline

{ b = bb; }

bool operator== ( const Class_ID &  cid ) const

inline

Remarks

Checks for equality between two Class IDs.

{ return ((a == cid.a) && (b == cid.b)); }

bool operator!= ( const Class_ID &  cid ) const

inline

Remarks

Check for Inequality between two Class IDs.

{ return !operator==(cid); }

Class_ID& operator= ( const Class_ID &  cid )

inline

Remarks

Assignment operator. Note: In release 3.0 and later this method checks for self-assignment.

{ a=cid.a; b = cid.b; return (*this); }

bool operator< ( const Class_ID &  rhs ) const

inline

Remarks

This operator is available in release 4.0 and later only.

Less than operator. This returns true if the specified Class_ID's two parts are numerically less than this Class_ID's; false if not.

    {
        if ( a < rhs.a || ( a == rhs.a && b < rhs.b ) )
            return true;

        return false;
    }
