Class IDXDataBridge

Description:
This class is only available in release 5 or later.

A pointer to this class is provided by IDXDataBridge::SetDXData(). The GFX layer will implement all these methods. Most of the methods are direct replicas of the DirectX API for SetRenderState and SetTextureStageState.

The reason for this is that only one thread can access the graphics hardware at any one time. Using this interface means that the GFX driver can have its database initialized with the DirectX states required for this object, when it comes to access the graphics device.

To use this class good knowledge of DirectX is needed, a copy of the DirectX documentation is also recommended.

For an example usage of this class see MAXSDK/SAMPLES/HardwareShaders/LightMap/Lightmap.cpp

Member Function Documentation

◆ GetID()

virtual Interface_ID GetID ( )
inlinevirtual
Remarks
The returns the unique ID for this interface. By default it will return IHARDWARE_MATERIAL_INTERFACE_ID

Reimplemented from BaseInterface.

#define IHARDWARE_MATERIAL_INTERFACE_ID
Definition: ihardwarematerial.h:27

◆ LifetimeControl()

virtual LifetimeType LifetimeControl ( )
inlinevirtual
Remarks
This method allows inquiries into the actual lifetime policy of a client and provide a server-controlled delete notify callback.
Returns
One of the following LifetimeTypes:

noRelease

Do not call release, use interface as long as you like. This is the default.

immediateRelease

The interface is only good for one call. The release is implied so a call to release is not required.

wantsRelease

The clients are controlling the lifetime, so the interface needs a Release() when the client has finished.

serverControlled

The server controls the lifetime and will use the InterfaceNotifyCallback to inform the code when it is gone.
Default Implementation:
{ return noRelease; }

Reimplemented from BaseInterface.
