#include <MFnComponentListData.h>

Class Description

Component list function set for dependency node data.

MFnComponentListData allows the creation and manipulation of component list (represented as MObjects) data objects for use in the dependency graph.

If a user written dependency node either accepts or produces MObjects containing component lists, then this class is used to extract or create the data that comes from or goes to other dependency graph nodes. To access it, the MDataHandle::data method is used to get an MObject for the data and this should then be used to initialize an instance of MFnComponentListData.

Examples:: basicBlendShape/basicBlendShape.cpp, meshOpCmd/meshOpCmd.cpp, meshOpCmd/meshOpNode.cpp, splitUVCmd/splitUVCmd.cpp, and splitUVCmd/splitUVNode.cpp.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

MFnComponentListData	(	MObject &	object,
		MStatus *	ReturnStatus = `NULL`
	)

Constructor.

Class constructor that initializes the function set to the given MObject.

Parameters

[in]	object	The MObject to attach the function set to
[out]	ReturnStatus	the return status

Status Codes:

MS::kSuccess if the function set is successfully attached
MS::kInvalidParameter if the MObject does not represent a valid Maya object or if the function set is not allowed to attach to this MObject

MFnComponentListData	(	const MObject &	object,
		MStatus *	ReturnStatus = `NULL`
	)

NO SCRIPT SUPPORT.

Class constructor that initializes the function set to the given MObject.

Constructor

Parameters

[in]	object	The MObject to attach the function set to
[out]	ReturnStatus	the return status

Status Codes:

MS::kSuccess if the function set is successfully attached
MS::kInvalidParameter if the MObject does not represent a valid Maya object or if the function set is not allowed to attach to this MObject

Member Function Documentation

MFn::Type type ( ) const

virtual

Function set type.

Return the class type : MFn::kComponentListData.

Reimplemented from MFnData.

const char * className ( ) const

protectedvirtual

Class name.

Return the class name : "MFnComponentListData".

Reimplemented from MFnData.

unsigned int length ( MStatus * ReturnStatus = NULL ) const

Return the number of components in the instance.

Parameters

[out] ReturnStatus Status code.

Returns: The number of components in the instance

Status Codes:

MS::kSuccess Operation successful.
MS::kFailure The instance is not attached to a component list.

bool has	(	const MObject &	obj,
		MStatus *	ReturnStatus = `NULL`
	)		const

Determine if the instance of the component list contains the component represented by the given MObject.

Parameters

[in]	obj	the MObject containing the component to look for
[out]	ReturnStatus	Status code.

Status Codes:

MS::kSuccess operation successful
MS::kFailure operation failed

Returns: true if the component list contains the component, false otherwise

MObject operator[] ( unsigned int index ) const

Extract the indicated component from the const instance.

If the index is out of range or the functionset is not attached to a valid object, MObject::kNullObj will be returned.

Parameters

[in] index the index of the component to extract

Returns: The indicated component

MStatus add ( MObject & obj )

Add the given component to the component list.

Parameters

[in] obj an MObject containing the component to add

Returns: kSuccess if successful, kFailure if either the instance is not attached to a component list, or the given MObject does not contain a component.

Examples:: meshOpCmd/meshOpCmd.cpp, and splitUVCmd/splitUVCmd.cpp.

MStatus remove ( const MObject & obj )

Remove the given component from the component list.

Parameters

[in] obj an MObject containing the component to remove

Returns: kSuccess if successful, kFailure if either the instance is not attached to a component list, or the given MObject does not contain a component.

MStatus remove ( unsigned int index )

Remove the indicated component from the component list.

Parameters

[in] index the index of the component to remove

Returns: kSuccess if successful, kFailure if either the instance is not attached to a component list.

MStatus clear ( )

Remove all components from the component list.

Returns: kSuccess if successful, kFailure if the instance is not attached to a component list.

MObject create ( MStatus * ReturnStatus = NULL )

Create a new MObject, attach it to this instance, and initialize it to contain an empty component list.

Parameters

[out] ReturnStatus kSuccess

Returns: The newly created MObject

Examples:: meshOpCmd/meshOpCmd.cpp, and splitUVCmd/splitUVCmd.cpp.
