virtual void MtlChanged ( )

pure virtual

Remarks: This method may be called to causes the viewports to be redrawn. It should be called when any parameter that affects the look of the material in the viewport has been altered. If the material is not on a visible node in a shaded view, nothing will happen. This method should NOT be called as a spinner is being dragged, but only upon release of the mouse button.

virtual HWND AddRollupPage	(	HINSTANCE	hInst,
		const MCHAR *	dlgTemplate,
		DLGPROC	dlgProc,
		const MCHAR *	title,
		LPARAM	param = `0`,
		DWORD	flags = `0`,
		int	category = `ROLLUP_CAT_STANDARD`
	)

pure virtual

Remarks: This method may be called to add a rollup page to the material editor dialog. It returns the window handle of the dialog that makes up the rollup page.

Parameters:: HINSTANCE hInst

The DLL instance handle of the plug-in.

MCHAR *dlgTemplate

The dialog template for the rollup page.

DLGPROC dlgProc

The dialog proc to handle the message sent to the rollup page.

MCHAR *title

The title displayed in the title bar.

LPARAM param=0

Any specific data to pass along may be stored here. This may be later retrieved using the GetWindowLong() call from the Windows API.

DWORD flags=0

The following flag is defined:

APPENDROLL_CLOSED

Starts the page in the rolled up state.

int category = ROLLUP_CAT_STANDARD

The category parameter provides flexibility with regard to where a particular rollup should be displayed in the UI. RollupPanels with lower category fields will be displayed before RollupPanels with higher category fields. For RollupPanels with equal category value the one that was added first will be displayed first. Although it is possible to pass any int value as category there exist currently 5 different category defines: ROLLUP_CAT_SYSTEM, ROLLUP_CAT_STANDARD, and ROLLUP_CAT_CUSTATTRIB.

When using ROLLUP_SAVECAT, the rollup page will make the provided category sticky, meaning it will not read the category from the RollupOrder.cfg file, but rather save the category field that was passed as argument in the CatRegistry and in the RollupOrder.cfg file.

The method will take the category of the replaced rollup in case the flags argument contains ROLLUP_USEREPLACEDCAT. This is mainly done, so that this system works with param maps as well.

Returns: The window handle of the rollup page.

virtual HWND AddRollupPage	(	HINSTANCE	hInst,
		DLGTEMPLATE *	dlgTemplate,
		DLGPROC	dlgProc,
		const MCHAR *	title,

DLGTEMPLATE *dlgTemplate

The dialog template for the rollup page.

DLGPROC dlgProc

virtual void DeleteRollupPage ( HWND hRollup )

pure virtual

Remarks: This method may be called to remove a rollup page and destroy it.

Parameters:: HWND hRollup

The handle of the rollup window. This is the handle returned from AddRollupPage().

virtual void DeleteRollupPage ( QWidget & qtWidget )

pure virtual

Removes a rollup page that hosts a Qt dialog.

Remarks: The QWidget will get destroyed as a result of calling this.

See also: void AddRollupPage(QWidget& qtWidget, const MCHAR *title, DWORD rollupFlags, int category)

virtual void RollupMouseMessage	(	HWND	hDlg,
		UINT	message,
		WPARAM	wParam,
		LPARAM	lParam
	)

pure virtual

Remarks: This method allows hand cursor scrolling when the user clicks the mouse in an unused area of the dialog. When the user mouses down in dead area of the material editor, the plug-in should pass mouse messages to this function.

Note: In 3ds Max 2.0 and later only use of this method is no longer required – the functionality happens automatically.

Parameters:: HWND hDlg

The window handle of the dialog.

UINT message

The message sent to the dialog proc.

WPARAM wParam

Passed in to the dialog proc. Pass along to this method.

LPARAM lParam

Passed in to the dialog proc. Pass along to this method.

Example:: case WM_LBUTTONDOWN: case WM_LBUTTONUP: case WM_MOUSEMOVE:

im->iMtlParams->RollupMouseMessage(hDlg,message,wParam,lParam);

virtual int IsRollupPanelOpen ( HWND hwnd )

pure virtual

Remarks: Returns nonzero if the rollup page whose handle is passed is open; otherwise zero.

Parameters:: HWND hwnd

The window handle of the rollup page to check.

virtual int GetRollupScrollPos ( )

pure virtual

Remarks: Returns the rollup scroll position. This is used, for example, by the Standard material because it saves and restores the rollup page positions with the material. This is just a convenience for the user.

virtual void SetRollupScrollPos ( int spos )

pure virtual

Remarks: This method may be called to set the rollup scroll position. If the position was previously saved, this method may be called to restore it. The Standard material uses this method because it saves and restores the rollup positions with the material as a convenience for the user.

Parameters:: int spos

Specifies the rollup scroll position.

virtual void RegisterTimeChangeCallback ( TimeChangeCallback * tc )

pure virtual

Remarks: Registers a callback object that will get called every time the current animation time is changed.

Parameters:: TimeChangeCallback *tc

The callback called when the time changes. See Class TimeChangeCallback.

virtual void UnRegisterTimeChangeCallback ( TimeChangeCallback * tc )

pure virtual

Remarks: This method un-registers the time change callback.

Parameters:: TimeChangeCallback *tc

The callback called when the time changes. See Class TimeChangeCallback.

virtual void RegisterDlgWnd ( HWND hDlg )

pure virtual

Remarks: This is called automatically in AddRollupPage(), so a plug-in doesn't need to do it. It is now obsolete.

Parameters:: HWND hDlg

The handle of the dialog window.

virtual int UnRegisterDlgWnd ( HWND hDlg )

pure virtual

Remarks: This method is called automatically and is now obsolete.

Parameters:: HWND hDlg

The handle of the dialog window.

virtual TimeValue GetTime ( )

pure virtual

Remarks: Returns the current time (the frame slider position).

Returns: The current time.

Pick an object from the scene

virtual void SetPickMode ( PickObjectProc * proc )

pure virtual

Remarks: Calling this methods puts the user into a pick mode where they can select items in the scene.

Parameters:: PickObjectProc *proc

virtual void EndPickMode ( )

pure virtual

Remarks: This method is called to terminate the pick mode.

virtual IRollupWindow* GetMtlEditorRollup ( )

pure virtual

Remarks: This method returns an interface to Materials Editor rollup.

virtual INT_PTR Execute	(	int	cmd,
		ULONG_PTR	arg1 = `0`,
		ULONG_PTR	arg2 = `0`,
