Class Description

Reference Maker to single entity.

See also: Class ReferenceMaker, Class IRefTargContainer This class encapsulates the management of one single reference. It is entirely implemented by 3ds Max. Plugins can use SingleRefMaker as is, or derive from it when they need to respond to reference messages other than REFMSG_TARGET_DELETED. A SingleRefMaker can optionally automatically drop its reference on shutdown. If a SingleRefMaker holds a reference to a ReferenceTarget whose class is implemented in a plugin dll, dropping the reference after the dll is unloaded may cause access violations if the ReferenceTarget is deleted. If a SingleRefMaker can exist into the shutdown phase, and the SingleRefMaker may hold a reference to a plugin object, the reference must be dropped before the plugin dlls are unloaded. Either the owner of the SingleRefMaker should do this, or the SingleRefMaker should be set to automatically do this. Normally, dropping the reference on a NOTIFY_SYSTEM_SHUTDOWN is the correct option. But if the owner of the SingleRefMaker needs the reference to held longer, the reference can be safely held up to the NOTIFY_PLUGINS_PRE_UNLOAD notification.

Examples:: See Standard Material shaders switch maxsdk\samples\materials\stdmtl2.cpp for sample usage.

CoreExport SingleRefMaker ( )

Constructor.

CoreExport SingleRefMaker ( AutoDropRefOnShutdown autoDropRefOnShutdown )

Constructor.

Parameters

autoDropRefOnShutdown - specifies whether/when to auto drop the Reference on shutdown.

CoreExport ~SingleRefMaker ( )

Destructor.

Suspended from Undo system

Member Function Documentation

CoreExport void SetRef ( RefTargetHandle rt )

Set the Reference.

Suspended from Undo system

CoreExport RefTargetHandle GetRef ( ) const

Get the Reference.

CoreExport void SetAutoDropRefOnShutdown ( AutoDropRefOnShutdown autoDropRefOnShutdown )

Set whether/when to auto drop the Reference on shutdown.

Parameters

autoDropRefOnShutdown - specifies whether/when to auto drop the Reference on shutdown.

CoreExport AutoDropRefOnShutdown GetAutoDropRefOnShutdown ( ) const

Get whether/when to auto drop the Reference on shutdown.

CoreExport RefResult NotifyRefChanged	(	const Interval &	changeInt,
		RefTargetHandle	hTarget,
		PartID &	partID,
		RefMessage	message,
		BOOL	propagate
	)

virtual

By default handles REFMSG_TARGET_DELETED message only.

This function should be overridden by plugins that need to respond to reference messages. If this is done, it is still recommended to call the original implementation

NotifyRefChanged(const Interval& changeInt, RefTargetHandle hTarget, PartID& partID, RefMessage message, BOOL propagate )
{
    switch(message) { 
        // Handle our messages
    }
    // Handles REFMSG_TARGET_DELETED
    return SingleRefMaker::NotifyRefChanged(changeInt, hTarget, partID, message, propagate);
}

See ReferenceMaker::NotifyRefChanged for complete documentation

Implements ReferenceMaker.

Reimplemented in SingleRefMakerSplineMtl, SingleRefMakerSplineNode, and SingleWeakRefMaker.

CoreExport void DeleteThis ( )

virtual

Deletes an instance of this class.

3ds Max calls this method when it needs to delete a plugin object (an instance of a class derived from Animatable). Similarly, plugins that need to delete instances of an Animatable or a class directly derived from it via an Animatable pointer, should call this method instead of calling directly operator delete. Following these rules will ensure that the same memory manager is used to allocate and deallocate the object. The default implementation of this method deletes the object. Plugin instances that never need to be deleted from the heap can overwrite this method to do nothing.

Note: See the method ClassDesc::Create() for details on how Max allocates plugin objects.; See ReferenceMaker::DeleteMe() and ReferenceTarget::MaybeAutoDelete() for information on how plugin instances are deleted by the system.

Remarks: See Memory Management.

See also: Required DLL Functions, Class ClassDesc.

Reimplemented from Animatable.

Reimplemented in SingleWeakRefMaker.

CoreExport SClass_ID SuperClassID ( )

virtual

Retrieves a constant representing the type of the plugin.

Returns: A super class id that uniquely identifies the type (category) of the plugin. Note that several plugin classes can be of the same type, thus return the same super class id. Plugins are uniquely identified by their class ids.

See also: SClass_ID

Reimplemented from ReferenceMaker.

Reimplemented in SingleWeakRefMaker.

virtual void GetClassName ( MSTR & s )

inlinevirtual

Retrieves the (localizable) name of the plugin class.

This name is usually used internally for debugging purposes. For Material plug-ins this method is used to put up the material "type" name in the Material Editor.

Parameters

s	Reference to a string filled in with the name of the plugin class

Reimplemented from ReferenceMaker.

Reimplemented in SingleRefMakerSplineMtl, SingleRefMakerSplineNode, SingleRefMakerPatchMtl, SingleRefMakerPatchNode, and SingleWeakRefMaker.

2760 { s = _M("SingleRefMaker"); } // from Animatable

_M

#define _M(x)

Used to wrap string literals.

Definition: strbasic.h:67

CoreExport int NumRefs ( )

virtual

Returns the total number of references this ReferenceMaker can hold.

The plugin implements this method to indicate the total number of of references it can make. This includes all references whether they are NULL (inactive) or non-NULL (active) at the time when this method is called. A plugin can hold a variable number of references, thus the return value of this method is not to be cached and reused by client code.

Returns: The total number of references this plugin can hold. The default implementation is return 0.

Reimplemented from ReferenceMaker.

CoreExport RefTargetHandle GetReference ( int i )

virtual

Returns the 'i-th' reference.

The plugin implements this method to return its 'i-th' reference. The plug-in simply keeps track of its references using an integer index for each one. This method is normally called by the system.

Parameters

i	- The index of the reference to retrieve. Valid values are from 0 to NumRefs()-1.

Returns: The reference handle of the 'i-th' reference. Note that different calls to this method with the same 'i' value can result in different reference handles being retrieved, as the plugin changes the scene objects it references as its 'i-th' reference.

Reimplemented from ReferenceMaker.

virtual CoreExport void SetReference	(	int	i,
		RefTargetHandle	rtarg
	)

protectedvirtual

Stores a ReferenceTarget as its 'i-th' reference`.

The plugin implements this method to store the reference handle passed to it as its 'i-th' reference. In its implementation of this method, the plugin should simply assign the reference handle passed in as a parameter to the member variable that holds the 'i-th' reference. Other reference handling methods such as ReferenceMaker::DeleteReference(), or ReferenceMaker::ReplaceReference() should not be called from within this method. The plugin itself or other plugins should not call this method directly. The system will call this method when a new reference is created or an existing one is replaced by calling ReferenceMaker::ReplaceReference().

Parameters

i	- The index of the reference to store. Valid values are from 0 to NumRefs()-1.
rtarg	- The reference handle to store.

Reimplemented from ReferenceMaker.

CoreExport BOOL CanTransferReference ( int i )

virtual

Tells whether this reference can be transfered.

A ReferenceMaker can choose not to let ReferenceTarget::TransferReferences() affect it. Note that plugins probably should not use this. It is used by certain system objects that have references.

Parameters

i	- Currently not used.

Returns: Default to return TRUE
