TrackViewUtility Class Reference

#include <tvutil.h>

Class Description

See also

Class ITVUtility, Class Interface, Class Control.

Description:

This is the base class for Track View Utility plug-ins. These plug-ins are launched via the 'Track View Utility' icon just to the left of the track view name field in the toolbar. Clicking on this button brings up a dialog of all the track view utilities currently installed in the system. Most utilities will probably be modeless floating dialogs, however modal utilities may be created as well.

The developer will derive their classes from this class. Methods are provided to bracket the beginning and ending of parameter editing, and responding to various changes in Track View (such as key selection, time selection, node selection, etc.). There is also a method to delete this instance of the plug-in class. Sample code is available in /MAXSDK/SAMPLES/UTILITIES/RANDKEYS.CPP, ORTKEYS.CPP and SELKEYS.CPP.

Plug-In Information:

Class Defined In: TVUTIL.H
Super Class ID: TRACKVIEW_UTILITY_CLASS_ID
Standard File Name Extension: DLU
Extra Include File Needed: None
