Detailed Description

Container that handles references to ReferenceTargets.

This is the interface for a container that references a variable number of ReferenceTarget objects.

3ds Max's implementation of this interface persists itself and its operations support being undone/redone. Plugins that need to store a variable number of references to other plugin objects should create an instance of this container type and make a reference to it.

The code below shows how to create an instance of 3ds Max's implementation of this interface:

#define REFTARG_CONTAINER_CLASS_ID
The RefTargContainer ClassID
Definition: IRefTargContainer.h:22
Container that handles references to ReferenceTargets.
Definition: IRefTargContainer.h:63
virtual void * CreateInstance(SClass_ID superID, Class_ID classID)=0
#define REF_TARGET_CLASS_ID
ReferenceTarget super-class ID.
Definition: plugapi.h:449

Or, you can create an instance via the static IRefTargContainer::CreateInstance() method.

Note
When this container points to a ReferenceTarget and that ReferenceTarget is deleted, the corresponding reference slot is nulled out, but not deleted. Therefore the number of items reported by NumRefs() and GetNumItems()) will not shrink. For example: If ten ReferenceTargets are added to the container, and then each ReferenceTarget is deleted, the container will still report ten references. The only way to shrink the count of the real number of references used is to call RemoveItem().
A REFMSG_CONTAINER_ELEMENT_NULLED notification is sent to the immediate dependents of the IRefTargContainer instance when a ReferenceTarget stored in the container is deleted. A REFMSG_CONTAINER_ELEMENT_ADDED notification is sent to the immediate dependents of the IRefTargContainer instance when an item slot is added. A REFMSG_CONTAINER_ELEMENT_REMOVED notification is sent to the immediate dependents of the IRefTargContainer instance when an item slot is removed. A REFMSG_CONTAINER_ELEMENT_SET notification is sent to the immediate dependents of the IRefTargContainer instance when an item slot is set. When processing notifications, the GetChangedRefTarget() method can be used to identify which item triggered the notification, and GetChangedRefTargetIndex() which item index.

Member Function Documentation

◆ GetNumItems()

virtual int GetNumItems ( ) const
pure virtual

Returns the number of items in the container.

Returns
The number of items in the container.

◆ GetItem()

virtual ReferenceTarget * GetItem ( int  i) const
pure virtual

Returns the i-th item, NULL if i is out of range.

Parameters
iThe index of the item to return. Must be in range [0, GetNumItems()-1]
Returns
The i-th item, or NULL if index is out of range.

◆ AppendItem()

virtual int AppendItem ( ReferenceTarget ref)
pure virtual

Adds an item at the end of the container.

Parameters
refThe item to be added
Returns
The index of the newly added item.

◆ SetItem()

virtual void SetItem ( int  i,
ReferenceTarget ref 
)
pure virtual

Sets the value of the i-th container item.

Can be used to append more than one item to the container at a time. For example: It is possible to call this method on an empty container, passing in an integer value of, say 10. After doing this, the container will return 11 from the GetNumItems() and NumRefs() method.

Parameters
i- The index of the item to set. Must be >= 0. If i is greater than or equal to the current number of items, the container will be resized, with NULL items added as necessary.
ref- The item to set as the i-th item.

◆ InsertItem()

virtual int InsertItem ( int  i,
ReferenceTarget ref 
)
pure virtual

Inserts specified item at i-th place into the container.

Parameters
i- The index where the item should be inserted. Must be in range [0, GetNumItems()], otherwise i is truncated to fit in this range. When i is GetNumItems(), the item is appended to the end of the container.
ref- The item to be inserted.
Returns
Index where the item has been inserted.

◆ RemoveItem()

virtual void RemoveItem ( int  i)
pure virtual

Removes the i-th item from the container.

De-references the i-th item and removes it from the container, thus effectively changing the number of items the container reports to have via GetNumItems().

Note
When removing more than one item from the container, iterate from high index to low index.
Parameters
i- The index of the item to be removed. Must be in range [0, GetNumItems()-1].

◆ FindFirstItem()

virtual int FindFirstItem ( ReferenceTarget refTargToFind) const
pure virtual

Finds the first occurrence of a given reference target in the container.

◆ GetHoldAsWeakReferences()

virtual bool GetHoldAsWeakReferences ( ) const
pure virtual

Returns whether the references are held as weak references.

See also
Kinds of References

◆ SetHoldAsWeakReferences()

virtual void SetHoldAsWeakReferences ( bool  holdAsWeakReferences)
pure virtual

Sets whether the references are held as weak references.

Parameters
[in]holdAsWeakReferences- true if references are to be held as weak references
Note
For containers where the references are held as indirect references, the references will always be treated as weak references

◆ GetChangedRefTargetIndex()

virtual int GetChangedRefTargetIndex ( )
pure virtual

When a NotifyRefChanged is received from an IRefContainer, this method can be called to retrieve the index of the item that generated the notification.

Note
The value returned by this method is valid only while processing notifications from the IRefTargContainer

◆ GetChangedRefTarget()

virtual ReferenceTarget * GetChangedRefTarget ( )
pure virtual

When a NotifyRefChanged is received from an IRefContainer, this method can be called to retrieve the item that generated the notification.

Note
The value returned by this method is valid only while processing notifications from the IRefTargContainer

◆ GetInterface() [1/2]

virtual CoreExport void * GetInterface ( DWORD  in_interfaceID)
virtual

Reimplemented in IIndirectRefTargContainer.

◆ GetInterface() [2/2]

virtual CoreExport BaseInterface * GetInterface ( Interface_ID  id)
virtual
Remarks
Returns a pointer to the Base Interface for the interface ID passed. The default implementation of this method retrieves this information from the ClassDesc for the plug-in.

Any future object-based interfaces should be allocated unique Interface_IDs (you can use Gencid.exe for this) and made available through this call.

The default implementation of GetInterface(Interface_ID) looks up a standalone interface of the given ID on the object's ClassDesc. This gives access to standalone interfaces via any of a plug-in's objects, without having to dig around for the ClassDesc, so you should fall back to calling the default implementation if you don't recognize an ID in your implementation of GetInterface(Interface_ID).
Parameters
idThe unique ID of the interface to get. See Class Interface_ID.

Reimplemented from Animatable.

Reimplemented in IIndirectRefTargContainer.

◆ CreateInstance()

static CoreExport IRefTargContainer * CreateInstance ( bool  holdAsWeakReferences = false)
static

Create an instance of 3ds Max's implementation of IRefTargContainer class.

Parameters
holdAsWeakReferencesWhether to hold the references as weak references
Returns
The created instance.
