Detailed Description

See also: Class IParamBlock2, Class ParamBlockDesc2, Class ParamMap2UserDlgProc.

Description:: This class provides methods to work with parameter map2s. Methods are provided for things like invalidating the parameter map so it gets redrawn, working with the parameter blocks associated with the parameter map, and establishing an optional dialog proc to handle controls not directly handled by the parameter map. This section also documents several functions that are available for creating and destroying parameter maps but are not part of this class.

Note: The use of this class requires the explicit inclusion the IPARAMM2.H header file.

Member Function Documentation

◆ Invalidate() [1/2]

Remarks: This methods un-invalidates the entire user interface.

◆ Invalidate() [2/2]

virtual void Invalidate	(	ParamID	id,
		int	tabIndex = `0`
	)

pure virtual

Remarks: This methods marks a specific control in the UI as requiring an update.

Parameters

id	The permanent ID of the control requiring an update.
tabIndex	If the control is a Tab<> then this is the zero-based index into the table of the value to be invalidated.

◆ UpdateUI()

virtual void UpdateUI ( TimeValue t )

pure virtual

Remarks: This method will update the user interface if the current settings are not valid at the given time (i.e., if anything is animated at that time).

Parameters

t	The time to check for the update.

◆ RedrawViews()

virtual void RedrawViews	(	TimeValue	t,
		DWORD	flag = `REDRAW_NORMAL`
	)

pure virtual

Remarks: This method may be called to cause the viewports to be redrawn.

Parameters

t	The time at which to redraw the viewports.
flag	You may specify one of the following: REDRAW_BEGIN Call this before you redraw. REDRAW_INTERACTIVE This allows the view quality to degrade to maintain interactively. REDRAW_END If during interactive redraw the state degraded, this will redraw the views in the undegraded state. REDRAW_NORMAL This redraws the views in the undegraded state.

◆ Validity()

virtual Interval & Validity ( )

pure virtual

Remarks: Provides access to pmap's validity interval. Returns a refernce to the actual interval so it can be modified if desired.

◆ SetParamBlock() [1/2]

virtual void SetParamBlock ( IParamBlock2 * pb )

pure virtual

Makes the parameter map point to a new parameter block, updating the user interface in the process.

Remarks: Consider calling SetParamBlock(IParamBlock2 pb, ReferenceMaker owner) instead.

Parameters

Remarks: This method swaps the existing parameter block with a new

◆ SetParamBlock() [2/2]

virtual void SetParamBlock	(	IParamBlock2 *	pb,
		ReferenceMaker *	owner
	)

pure virtual

Makes the parameter map point to a new parameter block, updating the user interface in the process.

Parameters

pb	The new parameter block to use with the parameter map.
owner	The owner the parameter block. In most cases, this should be IParamBlock2::GetOwner(). But in the case of class parameter block (see P_CLASS_PARAMS), where the parameter block does not have an owner, then this should point to the object for which the UI is currently being edited.

This method is used to tell the parameter map that the developer defined method should be called. The given proc will be called after default processing is done. Note that if the proc is non-NULL when the ParamMap2 is deleted its DeleteThis() method will be called.

Parameters

proc	Points to the user dialog proc object to process the controls.

◆ GetUserDlgProc()

◆ ConnectUI() [1/2]

virtual void ConnectUI ( MaxSDK::QMaxParamBlockWidget * widget )

pure virtual

Connects the given Qt widget with the paramblock that is managed by this parameter map.

The method first removes all existing parameter UI connections and then in a second step automatically connects the Qt UI controls, found in the widget, where the Qt objectName matches the name of its associated paramblock parameter. Before the automatic parameter binding starts, the PreConnectUI() callback is triggered on the given QMaxParamBlockWidget. When the automatic parameter binding is done PostConnectUI() is called on the given QMaxParamBlockWidget. The PostConnectUI() callback would be a good point of time to add manual parameter UI connections and is for instance helpful when setting up a specific connection to data stored in a variable tab parameter.

Parameters

widget The widget hosting the UI controls that should be connected to the param block.

See also: QMaxParamBlockWidget::PreConnectUI(),QMaxParamBlockWidget::PostConnectUI()

◆ DisconnectUI() [1/2]

virtual void DisconnectUI ( )

This method removes all existing parameter UI connections held by the ParamMap.

virtual void ConnectUI	(	ParamID	id,
		QObject *	uiControl,
		int	tabIndex = `0`
	)

pure virtual

If the UI control already has a parameter connection, it will be disconnected first.

Parameters

id	The ID of the parameter.
uiControl	A pointer to the Qt UI control (e.g. a QmaxSpinBox) that should be connected to the param block.
tabIndex	If the parameter is a Tab<> this is the zero-based index of the parameter in the table.

virtual void DisconnectUI ( QObject * uiControl )

pure virtual

Disconnects a Qt UI control from its associated param block parameter.
