Detailed Description

The interface for managing action item overrides.

This manager allows action item overrides to be activated, deactivated and retrieved. This static function-published interface is registered as a core interface. You retrieve this interface by calling

#define IACTIONITEMOVERRIDEMANAGER_INTERFACE
The unique interface ID for the SimpleFaceData Manager.
Definition: IActionItemOverrideManager.h:58
The interface for managing action item overrides.
Definition: IActionItemOverrideManager.h:69
CoreExport Interface * GetCOREInterface()

Note that once an IActionOverrideItem is managed by this interface by activating it, it then will get deleted by this interface.

Member Function Documentation

◆ SetOverridesActive()

virtual void SetOverridesActive ( BOOL  active)
pure virtual

Function to set action item overrides active.

Parameters
[in]activeIf TRUE then action item overrides may be active, if FALSE then all action overrides will be disabled.

◆ GetOverridesActive()

virtual BOOL GetOverridesActive ( void  ) const
pure virtual

Get whether or not action item overrides are globally active or not.

Returns
TRUE if action item overrides may be active, FALSE if otherwise.

◆ SetTimeToStartOverride()

virtual void SetTimeToStartOverride ( float  secs)
pure virtual

Function to set how long a key must be pressed before a suitable action item becomes an override.

Parameters
[in]secsThe number of seconds that a key must be pressed and held before an action item becomes an override.

◆ GetTimeToStartOverride()

virtual float GetTimeToStartOverride ( ) const
pure virtual

How much time, in seconds, that we need to hold a key before a suitable ction item becomes an override.

Returns
Returns how many seconds that we need to hold a key before an action time becomes an override.

◆ RegisterActionItemOverride()

virtual void RegisterActionItemOverride ( ActionItem aItem,
MSTR overrideDescription 
)
pure virtual

Function to register an action item as a possible override.

Function to register an action item as a possible override. The purpose of this is to inform the system of a possible override so that the action item may get highlighted in the customize UI dialog.

Parameters
[in]aItemThe action item that may have an override.
[in]overrideDescriptionText description of what the override does.

◆ UnregisterActionItemOverride()

virtual void UnregisterActionItemOverride ( ActionItem aItem)
pure virtual

Function to unregister an action item as a possible override.

Function to unregister an action item as a possible override. The client should call this when either an action item will no longer be overridable of if the action item will get removed from the action table.

See also
ActionTable::DeleteOperation.
Parameters
[in]aItemThe action item that we want to unregister. Nothing happens if the action item was never registered.

◆ IsActionItemRegistered()

virtual BOOL IsActionItemRegistered ( ActionItem aItem,
MSTR description 
)
pure virtual

Function to see if an action item has been registered, and thus may eventually be activated.

Parameters
[in]aItemThe aciton item that may have an override.
[out]descriptionThe text description of the override.
Returns
Return TRUE if the ActionItem is registered, otherwise return FALSE.

◆ ActivateActionItemOverride()

virtual void ActivateActionItemOverride ( ActionItem aItem,
IActionItemOverride aItemOverride 
)
pure virtual

Function to activate a particular action item with a particular override, which then allows the action item to work like an override also.

Function to activate a particular action item with a particular override. This function must be called in order for a particular action item to work like an override.

Parameters
[in]aItemThe action item that will be associated with an override.
[in]aItemOverrideThe action item override that will override the action item when a key is held. Note that once a IActionItemOverride object is activated the deletion of this object is now the responsibility of the IActionItemOverrideManager, and so the client shouldn't delete it also. Usually the action item override will be activated after IActionManger::ActivateActionTable is called.

◆ DeactivateActionItemOverride()

virtual void DeactivateActionItemOverride ( ActionItem aItem)
pure virtual

Function to deactivate an action item override.

Function to unactive an action item with a corresponding action item override. Note that the activated IActionItemOverride instance will get deleted when this occurs. For efficiency, a user should unactivate their action item and action item overrides whenever they would also deactivate an action table via IActionManager::DeactiveActionTable, usually within a Animatable::EndEditParams function call.

See also
IActionManager::DeactivateActionTable
Parameters
[in]aItemThe action item that will be unactivated. The corresponding IActionActionItemOverride will also get removed and deleted.

◆ FindOverride()

virtual IActionItemOverride* FindOverride ( ActionItem aItem)
pure virtual

Find a particular activated IActionItemOverride given a particular ActionItem.

Returns
Returns the IActionItemOverride object that's been activated with IActionItemOverrideManager::ActivateActionItemOverride. If none exists, it will return NULL.

◆ GetOverridingActionItem()

virtual ActionItem* GetOverridingActionItem ( ) const
pure virtual

Returns the action item that is currently being overriden.

Returns
Returns a pointer to the ActionItem that is currently being overriden. If no action item is being overriden, it return NULL.
