Member Function Documentation

GetCreateMouseCallBack()

CoreExport CreateMouseCallBack * GetCreateMouseCallBack ( )

virtual

This method allows the system to retrieve a callback object used in creating an object in the 3D viewports.

This method returns a pointer to an instance of a class derived from CreateMouseCallBack. This class has a method proc() which is where the programmer defines the user/mouse interaction during the object creation phase.

Returns

A pointer to an instance of a class derived from CreateMouseCallBack.

Implements BaseObject.

BeginEditParams()

CoreExport void BeginEditParams ( IObjParam *  ip, ULONG  flags, Animatable *  prev  )

virtual

Remarks

This method is called by the system when the user may edit the item's (object, modifier, controller, etc.) parameters.

Parameters

ip	Interface pointer. The developer can use it to call methods such as AddRollupPage(). Note that this pointer is only valid between BeginEditParams() and EndEditParams(). It should not be used outside this interval.
flags	Describe which branch of the command panel or dialog the item is being edited in. The following are possible values: BEGIN_EDIT_CREATE Indicates an item is being edited in the create branch. BEGIN_EDIT_MOTION Indicates a controller is being edited in the motion branch. BEGIN_EDIT_HIERARCHY Indicates a controller is being edited in the Pivot subtask of the hierarchy branch. BEGIN_EDIT_IK Indicates a controller is being edited in the IK subtask of the hierarchy branch. BEGIN_EDIT_LINKINFO Indicates a controller is being edited in the Link Info subtask of the hierarchy branch.
prev	Pointer to an Animatable object. This parameter may be used in the motion and hierarchy branches of the command panel. This pointer allows a plug-in to look at the ClassID of the previous item that was being edited, and if it is the same as this item, to not replace the entire UI in the command panel, but simply update the values displayed in the UI fields. This prevents the UI from 'flickering' when the current item begins its edit. For example, if you are in the motion branch and are looking at an item's PRS controller values, and then select another item that is displayed with a PRS controller, the UI will not change - only the values displayed in the fields will change. If however you selected a target camera that has a lookat controller (not a PRS controller) the UI will change because a different set of parameters need to be displayed. Note that for items that are edited in the modifier branch this field can be ignored.

Reimplemented from GizmoObject.

EndEditParams()

CoreExport void EndEditParams ( IObjParam *  ip, ULONG  flags, Animatable *  next  )

virtual

Remarks

This method is called when the user is finished editing an objects parameters. The system passes a flag into the EndEditParams() method to indicate if the rollup page should be removed. If this flag is TRUE, the plug-in must un-register the rollup page, and delete it from the panel.

Parameters

ip	An interface pointer. The developer may use the interface pointer to call methods such as DeleteRollupPage().
flags	The following flag may be set: END_EDIT_REMOVEUI If TRUE, the item's user interface should be removed.
next	Animatable pointer. Can be used in the motion and hierarchy branches of the command panel. It allows a plug-in to look at the ClassID of the next item that was being edited, and if it is the same as this item, to not replace the entire UI in the command panel. Note that for items that are edited in the modifier branch this field can be ignored.

Reimplemented from GizmoObject.

GetObjectName()

CoreExport const MCHAR * GetObjectName ( bool  localized = true ) const

overridevirtual

Returns

the name that will appear in the modifier stack.

Parameters

localized

If true, then the object name returned should be localized in the language 3ds Max is currently using. Otherwise it should be the object name in English. If a plugin does not provide localized string resources, it can disregard this parameter and always return the object name in English.

Reimplemented from BaseObject.

InitNodeName()

CoreExport void InitNodeName ( MSTR &  s )

virtual

Implemented by the System.

Sets the default node name to "Helper".

Reimplemented from GizmoObject.

GetClassName()

CoreExport void GetClassName ( MSTR &  s, bool  localized = true  ) const

overridevirtual

Retrieves the name of the plugin class.

This name is used in 3ds Max's UI and in MAXScript. For Material plug-ins this method is used to put up the material "type" name in the Material Editor.

Parameters

s	Reference to a string filled in with the name of the plugin class.
localized	If true, then the class name returned should be localized in the language 3ds Max is currently using. Otherwise it should be the class name in English. If a plugin does not provide localized string resources, it can disregard this parameter and always return the class name in English.

Reimplemented from Animatable.

DeleteThis()

CoreExport void DeleteThis ( )

virtual

Deletes an instance of this class.

3ds Max calls this method when it needs to delete a plugin object (an instance of a class derived from Animatable). Similarly, plugins that need to delete instances of an Animatable or a class directly derived from it via an Animatable pointer, should call this method instead of calling directly operator delete. Following these rules will ensure that the same memory manager is used to allocate and deallocate the object. The default implementation of this method deletes the object. Plugin instances that never need to be deleted from the heap can overwrite this method to do nothing.

Note

See the method ClassDesc::Create() for details on how Max allocates plugin objects.

See ReferenceMaker::DeleteMe() and ReferenceTarget::MaybeAutoDelete() for information on how plugin instances are deleted by the system.

ClassID()

Class_ID ClassID ( )

inlinevirtual

Retrieves a constant that uniquely identifies the plugin class.

This method must return the unique ID for the plugin class. If two ClassIDs conflict, the system will only load the first conflicting one it finds. A program (gencid.exe) is provided to generate unique class id values.

Returns

A class id that uniquely identifies a plugin class

{return BOXGIZMO_CLASSID;}

Clone()

CoreExport RefTargetHandle Clone ( RemapDir &  remap )

virtual

This method is used by 3ds Max to clone an object.

See also

CloneRefHierarchy(), class RemapDir This method is called by 3ds Max to have the plugin clone itself. The plug-in's implementation of this method should copy both the data structure and all the data residing in the data structure of this reference target. The plugin should clone all its references as well. Also, the plug-in's implementation of this method must call BaseClone(). In order for classes derived from this class to clone cleanly, the Clone method should just create the new instance, and then call an implementation of BaseClone that clones the references and copies any other necessary data. For example:

class MyDerivedPlugin
    : public MyBasePlugin
{
    const int MY_REFERENCE = 1;
 
    ReferenceTarget* Clone(RemapDir& remap)
    {
        ReferenceTarget* result = new MyDerivedPlugin();
        BaseClone(this, result, remap);
        return result;
    }
 
    void BaseClone(ReferenceTarget* from, ReferenceTarget* to, RemapDir& remap)
    {
        if (!to || !from || from == to)
            return;    
        MyBasePlugin::BaseClone(from, to, remap);
        to->ReplaceReference(MY_REFERENCE, remap->CloneRef(from->GetReference(MY_REFERENCE)));
    }
};

This method should not be directly called by plug-ins. Instead, either RemapDir::CloneRef() or CloneRefHierachy() should be used to perform cloning. These methods ensure that the mapping from the original object to the clone is added to the RemapDir used for cloning, which may be used during backpatch operations

Note

See the remarks in method BaseClone() below.

Parameters

remap

- A RemapDir instance used for remapping references during a Clone.

Returns

A pointer to the cloned item.

Reimplemented from ReferenceTarget.

ObjectValidity()

Interval ObjectValidity ( TimeValue  t )

virtual

Remarks

Returns the validity interval of the gizmo object around the specified time.

Parameters:

TimeValue t

Specifies the time at which the gizmo validity is returned.

Default Implementation:

{return FOREVER;}

Reimplemented from GizmoObject.

InvalidateUI()

CoreExport void InvalidateUI ( )

virtual

Remarks

Invalidates the user interface for the gizmo so it will get redrawn on the next screen update.

Default Implementation:

{}

Sample Code:

This is the code from the Sphere GizmoObject implementation of this method. Note that it simply calls Invalidate() on the parameter map.

void SphereGizmoObject::InvalidateUI() {
    if (pmapParam) pmapParam->Invalidate();
}

Reimplemented from GizmoObject.

GetParameterDim()

CoreExport ParamDimension * GetParameterDim ( int  pbIndex )

virtual

Remarks

Returns the dimension of the parameter whose parameter block index is passed.

Parameters:

int pbIndex

Specifies which parameter name to return.

Default Implementation:

{return defaultDim;}

Sample Code:

ParamDimension *SphereGizmoObject::GetParameterDim(int pbIndex) {
    switch (pbIndex) {
        case PB_GIZMO_RADIUS: return stdWorldDim;
        default: return defaultDim;
    }
}

Reimplemented from GizmoObject.

GetParameterName()

CoreExport MSTR GetParameterName ( int  pbIndex, bool  localized = true  )

virtual

Remarks

Returns the name of the parameter whose parameter block index is passed.

Parameters:

int pbIndex

Specifies which parameter name to return. bool localized

If true, then the parameter name returned should be localized in the language 3ds Max is currently using. Otherwise it should be the parameter name in English. If a plugin does not provide localized string resources, it can disregard this parameter and always return the parameter name in English.

Default Implementation:

{return MSTR(_M("Parameter"));}

Reimplemented from GizmoObject.

DrawGizmo()

CoreExport void DrawGizmo ( TimeValue  t, GraphicsWindow *  gw  )

virtual

Remarks

This method is called to draw the gizmo at the specified time into the specified viewport.

Parameters:

TimeValue t

The time to draw the gizmo.

GraphicsWindow *gw

The GraphicsWindow associated with the viewport in which to draw the gizmo.

Default Implementation:

{}

Reimplemented from GizmoObject.

GetBoundBox()

CoreExport void GetBoundBox ( Matrix3 &  mat, TimeValue  t, Box3 &  box  )

virtual

Remarks

Returns the bounding box for the gizmo, as transformed by the matrix passed, at the time passed.

Parameters:

Matrix3 &mat

The points of the gizmo object should be transformed by this matrix before the bounding box is computed from them.

TimeValue t

The time to compute the bounding box.

Box3 &box

The result is stored here.

Default Implementation:

{}

Sample Code:

void SphereGizmoObject::GetBoundBox(Matrix3 &mat, TimeValue t, Box3 &box) {
    float radius;
    int hemi;
    pblock->GetValue(PB_GIZMO_RADIUS,t,radius);
    pblock->GetValue(PB_GIZMO_HEMI,t,hemi);
    BoxLineProc proc(&mat);
    DrawSphere(proc,radius,hemi);
    box += proc.Box();
}
