Detailed Description

Class IObjParam, Class ViewExp, Class Interface, Class IPoint2.

Description:

This class is the callback object passed to Interface::SetPickMode().

Member Function Documentation

HitTest()

virtual BOOL HitTest ( IObjParam *  ip, HWND  hWnd, ViewExp *  vpt, IPoint2  m, int  flags  )

pure virtual

Remarks

This method is called whenever the pick mode needs to hit test.

Parameters:

IObjParam *ip

An interface pointer available to call functions defined by 3ds Max.

HWND hWnd

The window handle.

ViewExp *vpt

An interface pointer that may be used to call methods associated with the viewports.

IPoint2 m

Point to check in screen coordinates.

int flags

Scene and Node Hit Testing Flags.

Returns

Return TRUE if something was hit; otherwise FALSE.

Sample Code:

// This implementation use the Interface::PickNode method

// to perform the hit test.

{
    return ip->PickNode(hWnd,m,&thePickFilt)? TRUE:FALSE;
}

Implemented in POPickPatchAttach, SSPickSplineAttach, and PickerControlMode.

Pick()

virtual BOOL Pick ( IObjParam *  ip, ViewExp *  vpt  )

pure virtual

Remarks

This method is called when the user picks something.

Parameters:

IObjParam *ip

An interface pointer available to call functions defined by 3ds Max.

ViewExp *vpt

An interface pointer that may be used to call methods associated with the viewports. The vpt should have the result of the hit test in it.

Returns

Return TRUE to end the pick mode; FALSE to stay in the pick mode. Note that returning TRUE will set the command mode to MOVE. When a plug-in is in the create branch, setting the command mode to move ends the creation process.

Implemented in POPickPatchAttach, SSPickSplineAttach, and PickerControlMode.

PickAnimatable()

virtual CoreExport BOOL PickAnimatable ( Animatable *  anim )

virtual

Remarks

This method gets called when a node or controller is picked from Trackview or Schematic view The track will not be selected in Trackview if the this function returns FALSE. Override this function if you wish to support and receive nodes or controllers picked from Trackview.

Parameters:

Animatable* anim

A pointer to the animatable object.

Returns

TRUE if the Pick Mode callback accepts the animatable object, otherwise FALSE.

Default Implementation:

The default implementation will test if anim is an INode, and if so, will set it as the closest HitRecord in a view and pass it on to Pick

RightClick()

virtual BOOL RightClick ( IObjParam *  ip, ViewExp *  vpt  )

inlinevirtual

Remarks

This method is called when the user right-clicks or presses ESC.

Parameters:

IObjParam *ip

An interface pointer available to call functions defined by 3ds Max.

ViewExp *vpt

An interface pointer that may be used to call methods associated with the viewports. The vpt should have the result of the hit test in it.

Returns

TRUE to end the pick mode, FALSE to continue picking.

Default Implementation:

{ return FALSE; }

Reimplemented in POPickPatchAttach, SSPickSplineAttach, and PickerControlMode.

{ return FALSE; }

EnterMode()

virtual void EnterMode ( IObjParam *  ip )

inlinevirtual

Remarks

Called when the mode is entered. The developer may provide any pre-processing here.

Parameters:

IObjParam *ip

An interface pointer available to call functions defined by 3ds Max.

Reimplemented in POPickPatchAttach, SSPickSplineAttach, and PickerControlMode.

{}

ExitMode()

virtual void ExitMode ( IObjParam *  ip )

inlinevirtual

Remarks

Called when the mode is exited. The developer may provide any post-processing here.

Parameters:

IObjParam *ip

An interface pointer available to call functions defined by 3ds Max.

Reimplemented in POPickPatchAttach, SSPickSplineAttach, and PickerControlMode.

{}

GetDefCursor()

virtual HCURSOR GetDefCursor ( IObjParam *  ip )

inlinevirtual

Remarks

Called to get the default cursor to use.

Returns

The handle of the default cursor.

Default Implementation:

{return NULL;}

{return NULL;}

GetHitCursor()

virtual HCURSOR GetHitCursor ( IObjParam *  ip )

inlinevirtual

Remarks

Called to get the hit test cursor to use.

Returns

The handle of the hit test cursor.

Default Implementation:

{return NULL;}

Reimplemented in POPickPatchAttach, and SSPickSplineAttach.

{return NULL;}

GetFilter()

virtual PickNodeCallback * GetFilter ( )

inlinevirtual

Remarks

This method is called if the user hits the H key while in your pick mode. You can provide a filter to filter the name list. See Class PickNodeCallback.

Returns

A pointer to an instance of PickNodeCallback.

Default Implementation:

{return NULL;}

Reimplemented in POPickPatchAttach, SSPickSplineAttach, and PickerControlMode.

{return NULL;}

GetAnimatableFilter()

virtual PickAnimatableCallback * GetAnimatableFilter ( )

inlinevirtual

Remarks

This method is called when the PickAnimatable mode is started. See PickModeCallback::PickAnimatable method. You can provide a filter to filter the Animatable. The filter can be used differently depending on the context to identify Animatables that can be picked or not. See Class PickAnimatableCallback.

Returns

A pointer to an instance of PickAnimatableCallback.

Default Implementation:

{return NULL;}

{return NULL;}

AllowMultiSelect()

virtual BOOL AllowMultiSelect ( )

inlinevirtual

Remarks

Implement this method to return TRUE to allow the user to pick more than one thing. In that case the Pick() method may be called more than once.

Returns

TRUE to allow multiple picks; otherwise FALSE.

Default Implementation:

{return FALSE;}

{return FALSE;}
