enum LoadFromFileFlags

Flags for LoadFromFile method.

See also

Interface8::LoadFromFile

Enumerator
kRefreshViewports	When this flag is set, the viewports are redrawn once the file is loaded.
kSuppressPrompts	When this flag is set, messages about file unit mismatch and obsolete file versions will be suppressed.
kUseFileUnits	This flag is only valid in conjunction with kSuppressPrompts. If the current scene's system units differ from those of the scene's being loaded, turning on this flag will cause the system unit scale of the incoming scene to be used (objects that are loaded are not scaled). Otherwise, the incoming scene's objects will be rescaled to the current scene's system unit.
kSetCurrentFilePath	When this flag is set, the current file path is set to the one of the file that was loaded and the name of the file is displayed in the 3ds Max's title bar. Otherwise, the current file path and the title bar are not modified. If the file is not loaded successfully, or 3ds Max is working in network rendering mode, the current path and title bar are not modified. Note Turning this flag off (not specifying it) has no effect in 3ds Max 2008.

                           {
        kRefreshViewports   = 0x01,
        kSuppressPrompts = 0x02,
        kUseFileUnits   = 0x04,

virtual BOOL GetSpringQuickEditMode ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns whether quick manipulation mode for spring controllers is on.

Retrieves the animation preference controlling whether spring systems used in spring controllers are in quick edit mode. The default is to be OFF. If turned on, then when something invalidates a spring controller, instead of recomputing the results from start as would be required to get the correct results, it resets the system a certain number of frames back (see GetSpringRollingStart() below). This can make a big difference in interactivity.

Returns

- TRUE if the spring controllers are in quick edit mode

virtual void SetSpringQuickEditMode ( BOOL  in_quickEdit )

pure virtual

Sets quick manipulation mode for spring controllers.

Sets the animation preference controlling whether spring systems used in spring controllers will be accurate at all times.

virtual bool DoMaxSaveAsDialog ( HWND  parentWnd, const MSTR &  title, MSTR &  filename, MSTR &  initialDir, FilterList &  extensionList  )

pure virtual

Opens a max-style File Save As dialog for generic file types.

Launches a generic File Save As dialog which supports arbitrary file types. The dialog includes 3ds Max specific browsing features such as browse history. When this function returns it will save the new filter index in FilterList's data member m_newFilterIndex. This will allow developers to save the new index by calling FilterList::GetNewFilterIndex() and thus setting the correct filter index (calling FilterList::SetFilterIndex()) when this function is called again. This makes sure the dialog is showing the correct file extension to be used.

Postcondition

filename contains the long filename user selection if this function returns "true"; initialDir contains the path of the file selected, if this function returns true, otherwise it contains the original contents passed-in

Parameters

[in]	parentWnd	The window handle which should be this dialog's parent window.
[in]	title	The string to be set as the title of this dialog.
[in,out]	filename	As an in parameter, can contain the long or short name of the file that should be default selection of the dialog. As an out parameter, filename contains the long name of the file selected by the user, if this function returns true
[in,out]	initialDir	As an in parameter, contains the initial dialog directory. If the user clicks OK, then this parameter contains the user selected directory path.
[in]	extensionList	A list of extensions supported by this dialog. See FilterList documentation for details.

Returns

true if the user makes an acceptable choice, false if canceled

virtual bool DoMaxOpenDialog ( HWND  parentWnd, const MSTR &  title, MSTR &  filename, MSTR &  initialDir, FilterList &  extensionList  )

pure virtual

Opens a max-style Open dialog for generic file types.

Launches a generic Open dialog which supports arbitrary file types. The dialog includes 3ds Max specific browsing features such as browse history. When this function returns it will save the new filter index in FilterList's data member m_newFilterIndex. This will allow developers to save the new index by calling FilterList::GetNewFilterIndex() and thus setting the correct filter index (calling FilterList::SetFilterIndex()) when this function is called again. This makes sure the dialog is showing the correct file extension to be used.

Postcondition

filename contains the long filename user selection if this function returns true; initialDir contains the path of the file selected, if this function returns "true", otherwise it contains the original contents passed-in

Parameters

[in]	parentWnd	The window handle which should be this dialog's parent window.
[in]	title	The string to be set as the title of this dialog.
[in,out]	filename	As an in parameter, can contain the long or short name of the file that should be default selection of the dialog. As an out parameter, filename contains the long name of the file selected by the user, if this function returns true
[in,out]	initialDir	As an in parameter, contains the initial dialog directory. If the user clicks OK, then this parameter contains the user selected directory path.
[in]	extensionList	A list of extensions supported by this dialog. See FilterList documentation for details.

Returns

true if the user makes an acceptable choice, false if canceled

virtual void RegisterModelessRenderWindow ( HWND  hWnd )

pure virtual

Makes a window modeless during a render.

When a render is in progress, window messages to all windows but the virtual frame buffer and the progress window are suppressed in order to make the render operation modal. This method may be used to make a window modeless during the render operation. All messages sent to the given window handle will no longer be suppressed by the render executer.

Note: A modeless render dialog should, ideally, only display certain statistics or messages. It is unsafe to do any complex operation or user interaction from a modeless dialog while rendering. That is why 3ds max blocks most window messages while rendering by default.

PS: Be sure to un-register your window with UnRegisterModelessRenderWindow() when it is destroyed.

Parameters

[in]

hWnd

Handle to the window to be registered.

virtual void UnRegisterModelessRenderWindow ( HWND  hWnd )

pure virtual

Un-registers a window registered with RegisterModelessRenderWindow().

See the documentation of RegisterModelessRenderWindow() for more details.

Parameters

[in]

hWnd

Handle to the window to be un-registered.

virtual bool IsSavingToFile ( )

pure virtual

Returns whether a file save operation is currently in progress.

Returns

true if a file save operation is in progress.

virtual bool LoadFromFile ( const MCHAR *  szFilename, unsigned long  lFlags  )

pure virtual

Loads the specified scene file.

See also

Interface8::LoadFromFileFlags

Parameters

[in]	szFilename	the file to load
[in]	lFlags	combination of Interface8::LoadFromFileFlags flags.

Returns

true if success, false if there was an error

virtual bool RevealInExplorer ( const MSTR &  path )

pure virtual

Opens a Windows Explorer window pointing to the passed in path.

This is a utility function for opening a Windows Explorer window with a given path. The path can point to a folder, or it can be a full path to a file. If the file path doesn't exist, a warning dialog will open indicating that the path does not exist and the explorer will not open. The explorer is executed using a ShellExecute command, and is independent of the calling application. In other words, shutting down max will not result in the explorer app being shut down.

Precondition

An absolute path value <= 256 characters. A zero length path will result in the explorer opening to the system-default drive (most likely C:). An invalid path will result in a warning dialog, as described above.

Postcondition

An explorer window opens to the location specified by the path.

Parameters

[in]

path

An absolute path for the location used as the default browse location of the explorer.

Returns

true if shell function returns a success code
