Detailed Description

Message base class.

This is the base class for message callbacks. This base class allows the user to remove a message callback. To register a callback, the user must use the addCallback methods in the message classes which inherit from this base class.

When a callback is added a number or id is returned. This id is used to keep track of the callback and is necessary for removing it. A callback id with the value 'NULL' represents an invalid callback. Use the removeCallback member function of this class for removing a callback.

It is the user's responsibility to keep track of the callback id's and remove all callbacks for a plug-in when it is unloaded.

Callbacks During File Read

Care must be taken when a callback executes while Maya is reading a scene file as the scene may be temporarily in an inconsistent state, which could give incorrect results.

For example, consider a scene which has two nodes, X and Y, with a connection from X.out to Y.in. A "node added" message (see MDGMessage::addNodeAddedCallback) will be sent out for Y as soon as it is added to the scene, but before the connection has been made to Y.in. If a callback were to read the value of Y.in at this point it would get the wrong result.

The difficulties are compounded by the fact that Maya's normal Dependency Graph evaluation and dirty propagation mechanisms are disabled during a file read. In our example above, retrieving the value of Y.in will mark the plug as clean. When the connection is from X.out is subsequently made, Y.in won't be marked dirty because dirty propagation is disabled. As a result, when the file read has completed and Maya draws the new scene, Y.in will not be re-evaluated which may produce an error in the draw.

For these reasons, callbacks should avoid querying or modifying the DG in any way during file read. They should not add or remove nodes, make or break connections, change parenting, set or retrieve plug values, etc. Even something as innocuous as a call to MFnDagNode::isIntermediateObject may cause problems since it queries the value of the node's intermediateObject plug. All such actions should be postponed until the file read has completed.
