Reference Maker to single entity.

See also

Class ReferenceMaker, Class IRefTargContainer This class encapsulates the management of one single reference. It is entirely implemented by 3ds Max. Plugins can use SingleRefMaker as is, or derive from it when they need to respond to reference messages other than REFMSG_TARGET_DELETED. A SingleRefMaker can optionally automatically drop its reference on shutdown. If a SingleRefMaker holds a reference to a ReferenceTarget whose class is implemented in a plugin dll, dropping the reference after the dll is unloaded may cause access violations if the ReferenceTarget is deleted. If a SingleRefMaker can exist into the shutdown phase, and the SingleRefMaker may hold a reference to a plugin object, the reference must be dropped before the plugin dlls are unloaded. Either the owner of the SingleRefMaker should do this, or the SingleRefMaker should be set to automatically do this. Normally, dropping the reference on a NOTIFY_SYSTEM_SHUTDOWN is the correct option. But if the owner of the SingleRefMaker needs the reference to held longer, the reference can be safely held up to the NOTIFY_PLUGINS_PRE_UNLOAD notification.

Examples:

See Standard Material shaders switch maxsdk\samples\materials\stdmtl2.cpp for sample usage.

NotifyRefChanged()

CoreExport RefResult NotifyRefChanged ( const Interval &  changeInt, RefTargetHandle  hTarget, PartID &  partID, RefMessage  message, BOOL  propagate  )

overridevirtual

By default handles REFMSG_TARGET_DELETED message only.

This function should be overridden by plugins that need to respond to reference messages. If this is done, it is still recommended to call the original implementation

NotifyRefChanged(const Interval& changeInt, RefTargetHandle hTarget, PartID& partID, RefMessage message, BOOL propagate )
{
    switch(message) { 
        // Handle our messages
    }
    // Handles REFMSG_TARGET_DELETED
    return SingleRefMaker::NotifyRefChanged(changeInt, hTarget, partID, message, propagate);
}

See ReferenceMaker::NotifyRefChanged for complete documentation

Implements ReferenceMaker.

Reimplemented in SingleWeakRefMaker, SingleRefMakerSplineNode, and SingleRefMakerSplineMtl.

DeleteThis()

CoreExport void DeleteThis ( )

overridevirtual

Deletes this SingleRefMaker, marshalling the deletion to the main 3ds Max thread if needed.

Animatable-derived class instances should always be created and deleted in the main thread, or exclusively in a worker thread. 3ds Max uses several managed classes that use a SingleRefMaker to hold a reference to a scene object, and those managed classes can be deleted from the .net garbage collection finalizer thread. This method is provided to safely delete this SingleRefMaker instance. If called from the main 3ds Max thread, the instance is immediately deleted. If called from another thread, the instance is scheduled for deletion by the main thread.

Reimplemented from Animatable.

Reimplemented in SingleWeakRefMaker.

SuperClassID()

CoreExport SClass_ID SuperClassID ( )

overridevirtual

Retrieves a constant representing the type of the plugin.

Returns

A super class id that uniquely identifies the type (category) of the plugin. Note that several plugin classes can be of the same type, thus return the same super class id. Plugins are uniquely identified by their class ids.

GetClassName()

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

inlineoverridevirtual

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 ReferenceMaker.

    {
        UNUSED_PARAM(localized);
        s = _M("SingleRefMaker");
    }

NumRefs()

CoreExport int NumRefs ( )

overridevirtual

Returns the total number of references this ReferenceMaker can hold.

The plugin implements this method to indicate the total number of of references it can make. This includes all references whether they are NULL (inactive) or non-NULL (active) at the time when this method is called. A plugin can hold a variable number of references, thus the return value of this method is not to be cached and reused by client code.

Returns

The total number of references this plugin can hold. The default implementation is return 0.

Reimplemented from ReferenceMaker.

GetReference()

CoreExport RefTargetHandle GetReference ( int  i )

overridevirtual

Returns the 'i-th' reference.

The plugin implements this method to return its 'i-th' reference. The plug-in simply keeps track of its references using an integer index for each one. This method is normally called by the system.

Parameters

i	- The index of the reference to retrieve. Valid values are from 0 to NumRefs()-1.

Returns

The reference handle of the 'i-th' reference. Note that different calls to this method with the same 'i' value can result in different reference handles being retrieved, as the plugin changes the scene objects it references as its 'i-th' reference.

Reimplemented from ReferenceMaker.

SetReference()

CoreExport void SetReference ( int  i, RefTargetHandle  rtarg  )

overrideprotectedvirtual

Stores a ReferenceTarget as its 'i-th' reference`.

The plugin implements this method to store the reference handle passed to it as its 'i-th' reference. In its implementation of this method, the plugin should simply assign the reference handle passed in as a parameter to the member variable that holds the 'i-th' reference. Other reference handling methods such as ReferenceMaker::DeleteReference(), or ReferenceMaker::ReplaceReference() should not be called from within this method. The plugin itself or other plugins should not call this method directly. The system will call this method when a new reference is created or an existing one is replaced by calling ReferenceMaker::ReplaceReference().

Parameters

i	- The index of the reference to store. Valid values are from 0 to NumRefs()-1.
rtarg	- The reference handle to store.

Reimplemented from ReferenceMaker.

CanTransferReference()

CoreExport BOOL CanTransferReference ( int  i )

overridevirtual

Tells whether this reference can be transfered.

A ReferenceMaker can choose not to let ReferenceTarget::TransferReferences() affect it. Note that plugins probably should not use this. It is used by certain system objects that have references.

Parameters

i	- Currently not used.

Returns

Default to return TRUE
