FPInterfaceDesc* GetDesc ( )
virtual
Remarks
Returns a pointer to the class which contains the interface metadata.

Implements FPInterface.

virtual int GetLayerCount ( )
pure virtual

Return the total number of layers on this layer control.

Returns
The total number of layers.
virtual void SetLayerActive ( int  index)
pure virtual

Set the layer specified by the index to be active.

Note that this also sets this layer to be active on other layers on the same node that this layer is on, since layers on a node are synchronized.

Parameters
[in]indexThe layer to set active.
virtual int GetLayerActive ( )
pure virtual

Returns which layer is active.

Returns
The active layer.
virtual void DeleteLayer ( int  index)
pure virtual

Delete the specified layer.

Note since layers are synchronized on a node, other layers on the same node will also get deleted.

Parameters
[in]indexThe layer to delete.
virtual void CopyLayer ( int  index)
pure virtual

Copy the specified layer so that it may be pasted.

Note since layers are synchronized on a node, other layers on the same node will also get cut.

Parameters
[in]indexThe layer to cut.
virtual void PasteLayer ( int  index)
pure virtual

Paste the copied layer to the specified index.

Note since layers are synchronized on a node, other layers on the same node will also get pasted. If no layer is copied, then nothing happens.

Parameters
[in]indexWhere the pasted layer will go.
virtual void SetLayerName ( int  index,
MSTR  name 
)
pure virtual

Set the name of the specified layer.

Parameters
[in]indexWhich layer to rename.
[in]nameThe new name of the layer. Remember layer names are unique so if a layer exists with this name, nothing happens.
virtual MSTR GetLayerName ( int  index)
pure virtual

Get the name of the specified layer.

Parameters
[in]indexWhich layer's name to get.
Returns
Returns the layer's name. If the index is invalid, returns an empty string.
virtual float GetLayerWeight ( int  index,
TimeValue  t 
)
pure virtual

Get the layer weight for the specified layer at the specified time.

Parameters
[in]indexWhere to get the layer weight.
[in]tAt what time to get the layer weight.
Returns
Returns the layer weight.
virtual void SetLayerWeight ( int  index,
TimeValue  t,
float  weight 
)
pure virtual

Set the layer weight for the specified layer at the specified time.

Parameters
[in]indexWhere to set the layer weight.
[in]tAt what time to set the layer weight.
[in]weightThe weight to set.
virtual bool GetLayerMute ( int  index)
pure virtual

Get whether or not a particular layer is muted or not.

Parameters
[in]indexWhich layer to see if it's muted.
Returns
Whether or not the layer is muted or not.
virtual void SetLayerMute ( int  index,
bool  mute 
)
pure virtual

Set whether or not a particular layer is muted or not.

Parameters
[in]indexWhich layer to mute or not.
[in]muteThe mute value for the specified layer.
virtual Control* GetSubCtrl ( int  in_index) const
pure virtual

Get a subcontroller from its index.

Returns
- a pointer to a Control, or NULL if the index is invalid.
Parameters
[in]in_indexIndex of the list controller subcontroller
virtual void CollapseLayer ( int  index)
pure virtual

Collapse the layer at the specified index so that it gets deleted and it's keys and values are baked down to the previous layer.

Parameters
[in]indexWhere to collapse. The index must be greater than zero since we can't collapse the first layer.
virtual void DisableLayer ( )
pure virtual

Disables and remove the layer controller, and replace it with the first, base layer.

Note that doing this may delete the layer control also, thus making this interface invalid. Nothing will happen if the layer controller has more than one layer.

virtual bool GetLayerLocked ( int  index)
pure virtual

Get whether or not the layer is locked.

A locked layer cannot be animated nor collapsed, or pasted over and an object with a locked layer cannot get disabled.

Parameters
[in]indexWhich layer to see if it's locked.
Returns
Whether or not the layer is locked or not.
virtual void SetLayerLocked ( int  index,
bool  locked 
)
pure virtual

Set whether or not a particular layer is locked.

A locked layer cannot be animated nor collapsed, or pasted over and an object with a locked layer cannot get disabled.

Parameters
[in]lockedthe locked value for the specified layer. If true the layer is locked if false it is unlocked.
[in]indexWhich layer output to lock or unlock.
