Member Function Documentation

virtual Class_ID ClassID ( )

pure virtual

Remarks

Returns the unique Class_ID of the plug-in this dialog manages. See Class Class_ID.

Implemented in ShaderParamDlg.

virtual void SetThing ( ReferenceTarget *  m )

pure virtual

Remarks

This sets the current material or texture being edited to the material or texture passed.

Parameters:

ReferenceTarget *m

The material or texture to set as current.

Implemented in ShaderParamDlg.

virtual ReferenceTarget* GetThing ( )

pure virtual

Remarks

This method returns the current material or texture being edited.

Implemented in ShaderParamDlg.

virtual void SetTime ( TimeValue  t )

pure virtual

Remarks

This method is called when the current time has changed. This gives the developer an opportunity to update any user interface data that may need adjusting due to the change in time.

Parameters:

TimeValue t

The new current time.

Implemented in ShaderParamDlg.

virtual void ReloadDialog ( )

pure virtual

Remarks

This method should stuff values into all the parameter dialog's controls, edit fields etc. In fact this method is now only called after doing a "Reset". It is also useful inside the material/map when a NotifyRefChanged() is processed it may need to be called.

virtual void DeleteThis ( )

pure virtual

Remarks

This method is called by the system to delete an instance of this class. A developer must use the same memory manager to delete the item as they did to allocate it (in MtlBase::CreateParamDlg()). For example if a developer used the new operator to allocate the memory, this method would be implemented as { delete this; }

Implemented in ShaderParamDlg.

virtual void ActivateDlg ( BOOL  onOff )

pure virtual

Remarks

This method is called when the dialog box becomes active or inactive. Currently this is used when working with color swatch custom controls. Color swatches need to know when the dialog box becomes active or inactive because they change their method of drawing themselves. When the dialog is active, color swatches are drawn in pure color (this requires a color register in the palette). When the dialog becomes inactive the color swatches are drawn using dithered painting. This is needed because there are only 8 available color registers.

A method of the color swatch control is called to indicate if it is in an active or inactive dialog. See the sample code below. Also see Class IColorSwatch.

Parameters:

BOOL onOff

TRUE if the dialog is active; otherwise FALSE.

Sample Code:

void NoiseDlg::ActivateDlg(BOOL onOff)
{
    for (int i=0; i<NCOLS; i++)
        cs[i]->Activate(onOff);
}

virtual int FindSubTexFromHWND ( HWND  hwnd )

inlinevirtual

Remarks

This method needs to be implemented if the plug-in texmap is using a TexDADMgr. It should return the index of the sub-texmap corresponding to the window whose handle is passed. If the handle is not valid return -1.

Parameters:

HWND hwnd

The window handle to check.

Default Implementation:

{ return -1;}

Sample Code:

int CellTexParamDlg::FindSubTexFromHWND(HWND hw)
{
    if (hw==GetDlgItem(pmap->GetHWnd(),IDC_CELLTEX_CELLCOLOR_MAP))
        return 0;
    if (hw==GetDlgItem(pmap->GetHWnd(),IDC_CELLTEX_DIVCOL1_MAP))
        return 1;
    if (hw==GetDlgItem(pmap->GetHWnd(),IDC_CELLTEX_DIVCOL2_MAP))
        return 2;
    return -1;
}

Reimplemented in ShaderParamDlg.

{ return -1;} 

virtual int FindSubMtlFromHWND ( HWND  hwnd )

inlinevirtual

Remarks

This method needs to be implemented if the plug-in material is using a MtlDADMgr. It should return the index of the sub-map corresponding to the window whose handle is passed. If the handle is not valid return -1.

Parameters:

HWND hwnd

The window handle to check.

Default Implementation:

{ return -1;}

{ return -1;} 

virtual INT_PTR Execute ( int  cmd, ULONG_PTR  arg1 = 0, ULONG_PTR  arg2 = 0, ULONG_PTR  arg3 = 0  )

inlinevirtual

{ return 0; }
