Bitmap Proxy System Notifications
Any specific operation during which proxies should be disable can be surrounded by these notifications. This method of disabling proxies is different from actually disabling the bitmap proxies through the proxy manager; these notifications do not actually result in re-loading of any bitmaps. Rather, the Bitmap Texture will only load the high-res image when it is asked to, which makes the process efficient. Note One should ideally NOT broadcast these notifications. Instead, use class BitmapProxyTemporaryDisableGuard; it is safer as it handles multiple nested disables.

#define	NOTIFY_PROXY_TEMPORARY_DISABLE_END 0x000000B6

For users who needs to be informed of a modification of a named set, they should register to these two notifications and ignore only NOTIFY_NAMED_SEL_SET_DELETED and NOTIFY_NAMED_SEL_SET_CREATED(even this applies to the current state of the code) that is received between the pair of NOTIFY_NAMED_SEL_SET_PRE_MODIFY and NOTIFY_NAMED_SEL_SET_POST_MODIFY.

Provides a notification that a new ClassDesc is being registered.

This occurs when dlls containing plugins are loaded, and when a ClassDesc is dynamically created and registered with 3ds Max (for example, when a scripted plugin is defined). When loading a dll containing plugins, for each plugin you will get a NOTIFY_CLASSDESC_LOADED notification followed by a NOTIFY_CLASSDESC_ADDED notification. When a ClassDesc is dynamically created and registered with 3ds Max, you will get just a NOTIFY_CLASSDESC_ADDED notification. CallParam is pointer to ClassDesc

◆ NOTIFY_OBJECT_DEFINITION_CHANGE_BEGIN

#define NOTIFY_OBJECT_DEFINITION_CHANGE_BEGIN 0x000000DE

NOTIFY_OBJECT_DEFINITION_CHANGE_BEGIN is sent immediately before object instances are updated to a new object definition.

MAXScript allows scripted plugin and scripted custom attribute definitions to be updated by re-evaluating the definition script. The new definition can add or remove local variables, parameter blocks, parameter block items, rollouts, and rollout controls. After the new definition is evaluated, existing plugin instances are converted to this new definition. This notification is sent immediately before the instances are converted to the new definition. The NotifyInfo structure pointer callParam is passed a pointer to a ObjectDefinitionChangeNotificationParam struct instance. Currently the only valid type value is kScriptedPlugin, which signifies a scripted plugin/custom attribute class description, and the definition is a pointer to ClassDesc2 A plugin may use this notification to, for example, control the rebuilding of rollout displays for instances of the plugins using the definition.

#define NOTIFY_OBJECT_DEFINITION_CHANGE_END 0x000000DF

NOTIFY_OBJECT_DEFINITION_CHANGE_END is sent immediately after object instances are updated to a new object definition.

MAXScript allows scripted plugin and scripted custom attribute definitions to be updated by re-evaluating the definition script. The new definition can add or remove local variables, parameter blocks, parameter block items, rollouts, and rollout controls. After the new definition is evaluated, existing plugin instances are converted to this new definition. This notification is sent immediately after the instances are converted to the new definition. The NotifyInfo structure pointer callParam is passed a pointer to a ObjectDefinitionChangeNotificationParam struct instance. Currently the only valid type value is kScriptedPlugin, which signifies a scripted plugin/custom attribute class description, and the definition is a pointer to ClassDesc2 A plugin may use this notification to, for example, control the rebuilding of rollout displays for instances of the plugins using the definition.
