Member Function Documentation

◆ StartParamWire()

virtual void StartParamWire ( )
pure virtual
Remarks
This method will launch the parameter wiring UI mode.

◆ OpenEditor()

virtual void OpenEditor ( )
pure virtual
Remarks
This method will open up the parameter wiring dialog on the selected objects.

◆ EditParams()

virtual void EditParams ( ReferenceTarget leftParent,
int  leftSubNum,
ReferenceTarget rightParent,
int  rightSubNum 
)
pure virtual
Remarks
This method allows you to edit the left- and right-hand parameters and opens the parameter wiring dialog using the provided parameters.
Parameters
leftParent- A pointer to the left-hand reference target.
leftSubNum- The sub-animatable of the left-hand reference target.
rightParent- A pointer to the right-hand reference target.
rightSubNum- The sub-animatable of the right-hand reference target.

◆ EditParam()

virtual void EditParam ( ReferenceTarget parent,
int  subNum 
)
pure virtual

◆ EditControllers()

virtual void EditControllers ( Control leftWire,
Control rightWire 
)
pure virtual
Remarks
This method allows you to setup the two controllers for the left- and right-hand to edit.
Parameters
leftWire- A pointer to the controller for the left-hand wire.
rightWire- A pointer to the controller for the right-hand wire.

◆ EditController()

virtual void EditController ( Control wire)
pure virtual
Remarks
This method is identical to the EditControllers() but accepts a single wire controller for the left-hand. This method effectively calls EditControllers(wire, NULL).
Parameters
wire- A pointer to the controller being edited.

◆ Connect()

virtual bool Connect ( ReferenceTarget fromParent,
int  fromSubNum,
ReferenceTarget toParent,
int  toSubNum,
const MCHAR toExpr 
)
pure virtual
Remarks
This method allows you to set up a one-way wire.
Parameters
fromParent- A pointer to the reference target to wire from.
fromSubNum- The sub-animatable to wire from.
toParent- A pointer to the reference target to wire to.
toSubNum- The sub-animatable to wire to.
toExpr- A string containing the expression on the "to wire".
Returns
TRUE if the connection can be made, otherwise FALSE.

◆ Connect2Way()

virtual bool Connect2Way ( ReferenceTarget leftParent,
int  leftSubNum,
ReferenceTarget rightParent,
int  rightSubNum,
const MCHAR leftExpr,
const MCHAR rightExpr = NULL 
)
pure virtual
Remarks
This method allows you to set up a two-way wire.
Parameters
leftParent- A pointer to the left-hand reference target.
leftSubNum- The sub-animatable of the left-hand reference target.
rightParent- A pointer to the right-hand reference target.
rightSubNum- The sub-animatable of the right-hand reference target.
leftExpr- A string containing the expression for the left-hand target.
rightExpr= NULL - A string containing the expression for the right-hand target.
Returns
TRUE if the connection can be made, otherwise FALSE.

◆ Disconnect()

virtual bool Disconnect ( Control wireController)
pure virtual
Remarks
This method allows you to disconnect a one-way wire.
Parameters
wireController- A pointer to the wire controller you wish to disconnect.
Returns
TRUE if the disconnect was successful, otherwise FALSE.

◆ Disconnect2Way()

virtual bool Disconnect2Way ( Control wireController1,
Control wireController2 
)
pure virtual
Remarks
This method allows you to disconnect a two-way wire.
Parameters
wireController1- A pointer to the first wire controller you wish to disconnect.
wireController2- A pointer to the second wire controller you wish to disconnect.
Returns
TRUE if the disconnect was successful, otherwise FALSE.

◆ ParamWireMenu()

virtual Animatable* ParamWireMenu ( ReferenceTarget pTarget,
int  iSubNum,
int  iFlags = PWMF_LEFT_TARGET,
HWND  hWnd = NULL,
IPoint2 pPt = NULL 
)
pure virtual
Remarks
The ParamWireMenu method allows a plugin to host the parameter wiring context menus, typically found in the viewport, into any window.
Parameters
pTarget- The parent of the target animatable that the context menu will be derived from. pTarget should support the I_WIRECONTROL interface.
iSubNum- The SubAnim number in pTarget of the target animatable that the context menu will be derived from. If iSubNum is negative, pTarget will be used.
iFlags- one of the parameter wire flags. This sets which which action to take.
hWnd- used as the parent window for the context menus and parameter wiring dialog.
pPt- If iFlags is not PWMF_HAS_MENU, pPt should specify the position of the context menu in screen coordinates
Returns
The animatable that derived the context menu, or NULL if no menu was displayed
