Detailed Description

Manager class for Drag and Drop The Drag and Drop system is managed through a Core FP interface (DND_MGR_INTERFACE), defined by this class.

It provides control over the drag and drop system, manages handler registration and exposes some useful utility methods for downloading URL's, simulating drops, etc.

The DragAndDropMgr supports multiple DragAndDropHandler's registered against a single HWND window. This allows new components and 3rd-party developers to incrementally add handlers for new dropTypes to common windows such as viewports, that the default handlers don't know how to handle.

The IDragAndDropMgr::EnableDandD(HWND hwnd, BOOL flag, DragAndDropHandler* handler) method can be called multiple times on the same window with different handler instances. The drag and drop manager keeps track of all the DragAndDropHandlers on each window and will call their drag and drop event methods as needed, in order of registration, until one of them returns S_OK. For example, on a viewport, the DefaultDragAndDropHandler is registered by default. The event methods (such as DragEnter, DragOver, Drop, etc.) return E_FAIL if the dropping IDataObject or DropType is not recognized by them. Then, if a new component registers its own handler to deal with some new droptype, the default handler will fail to recognize the new droptype and so the new handler will be called to process the new drop type.

Note that this means DragAndDropHandler event methods must correctly return S_OK or E_FAIL depending on whether they handle the IDataObject or DropType currently dropping, so that the appropriate handler is found and called by the DnDMgr.

Note: In Max 2011, the management of DragAndDropHandler memory lifetime was changed. In previous versions, it was up to 3rd party developers to 'unregister' (Passing in FALSE to IDragAndDropMgr::EnableDandD) their drag and drop handlers (DragAndDropHandler*), before max was shutdown. If they didn't max would crash on shutdown. Now, unitialization has been moved up before 3rd party plugins are unloaded. Now, the manager automatically 'unregisters' all DragAndDropHandler pointers during a broadcast of NOTIFY_SYSTEM_SHUTDOWN. This means that the manager calls DragAndDropHandler::Release on all DragAndDropHandler pointers registered with it. After the manager cleans up during the NOTIFY_SYSTEM_SHUTDOWN broadcast, any subsequent calls to register a drag and drop handler will return FALSE. Also any subsequent calls to 'unregister' a handler will just silently do nothing.

Member Function Documentation

◆ EnableDandD() [1/2]

virtual void EnableDandD ( BOOL flag )

pure virtual

Globally enables or disables the drag and drop interface.

Parameters

flag	- TRUE to enable, FALSE to disable.

◆ IsEnabled()

virtual BOOL IsEnabled ( )

pure virtual

returns TRUE if the global drag and drop interface is enabled, otherwise FALSE.

◆ EnableDandD() [2/2]

virtual BOOL EnableDandD	(	HWND	hwnd,
		BOOL	flag,
		DragAndDropHandler *	handler = `NULL`
	)

pure virtual

Enables drag and drop for a given window (and its children).

If no custom DragAndDropHandler is supplied, a default one is used that will accept dropped scene files for opening and scripts for running. When the application is shutting down, it is prohibited to enable or disable a handler. Therefore after a NOTIFY_SYSTEM_SHUTDOWN broadcast this method will always return FALSE.

Parameters

hwnd	- A handle to the window you wish to enable or disable drag and drop for.
flag	- TRUE to enable, FALSE to disable.
handler	- A pointer to a custom drag and drop handler, or NULL to accept a default one.

Returns: TRUE if the method was successful, otherwise FALSE.

◆ DropPackage()

virtual BOOL DropPackage	(	HWND	hwnd,
		POINT &	point,
		URLTab &	package
	)

pure virtual

This method allows the simulation of a package of files into a window at a given point.

A package of files, specified as a list of URL strings is the common form of DropType data from iDrop sources and files dragged from the Windows desktop. The entire package is downloaded, as needed, but only the first file in the list is actually dropped into 3ds Max. The other files in the package are presumed to be support files, such as texmaps or xref sources, for the main drop file.

After the drop, the URL strings in the URLTab are converted to fully-specified path names to local file copies, if any had to be downloaded from the web.

Parameters

hwnd	- A handle to the window. If this is set to NULL, the default 3ds Max window is used.
point	- The point at which to drop.
package	- A reference to the local copies of the URL strings.

Returns: TRUE if the drop was successful, otherwise FALSE.

◆ DownloadPackage()

virtual BOOL DownloadPackage	(	URLTab &	package,
		const MCHAR *	directory,
		HWND	hwnd = `NULL`,
		bool	showProgress = `false`
	)

pure virtual

Used to download a package of URLs to the specified directory.

If the hwnd argument is supplied, any progress or other messages are centered over that window.

Parameters

package	- A reference to the local copies of the URL strings.
directory	- The directory path string to download to.
hwnd	- A handle to the window. If this is set to NULL, the default window is used.
showProgress	- The download progress dialog can be displayed by passing true.

Returns: TRUE if the download was successful, otherwise FALSE.

◆ GetDownloadDirectory()

virtual const MCHAR* GetDownloadDirectory ( )

pure virtual

Returns the fully-specified path to the directory in which package drops are downloaded.

◆ NumHandlers()

virtual int NumHandlers ( HWND hwnd )

pure virtual

Gets the number of handlers associated with the given window.

Parameters

hwnd	- A handle to the window.

◆ GetHandler()

virtual DragAndDropHandler* GetHandler	(	HWND	hwnd,
		int	i
	)

pure virtual

Returns a pointer to a specified drag and drop hander of a specified window.

Parameters

hwnd	- A handle to the window.
i	- The I-th handler.

◆ DownloadUrlToDisk()

virtual bool DownloadUrlToDisk	(	HWND	hwnd,
		const MCHAR *	url,
		const MCHAR *	fileName,
		DWORD	dlgflags = `0`
	)

pure virtual

Downloads the file referenced by the URL to disk.

Parameters

hwnd	- A handle to the window.
url	- The URL string of the file to download.
fileName	- The filename string of the URL to store on disk.
dlgflags	- Additional controls to the download behavior. Currently only one flag is supported, DOWNLOADDLG_NOPLACE, which hides an option in the progress dialog that allows the user to place (move) a dropped object immediately after being dropped.

Returns: TRUE if the download was successful, otherwise FALSE.

◆ ImportContextNode()

virtual INode* ImportContextNode ( )

pure virtual

Returns a pointer to the import context node.
