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.

Function Documentation

RegisterNotification()

CoreExport int RegisterNotification	(	NOTIFYPROC	proc,
		void *	param,
		int	code
	)

Remarks

This global function is called to establish the connection between the event and the callback.

Parameters

proc	The callback function called when the event occurs
param	A pointer to a parameter which will be passed to the callback function
code	Specifies which notification to register. See System Notification Codes.

Returns

Value Nonzero if the event was registered; otherwise zero.

UnRegisterNotification() [1/2]

CoreExport int UnRegisterNotification	(	NOTIFYPROC	proc,
		void *	param,
		int	code
	)

Remarks

This global function is called to break the connection between the event and the callback. After this function executes the callback is no longer invoked when the event occurs.

Parameters

proc	The callback function called when the event occurs.
param	This parameter must be identical to the param sent into RegisterNotification(). This function will only unregister a callback if this parameter equals the param sent in to the RegisterNotification() function.
code	Specifies which notification to unregister. See System Notification Codes

Returns

Nonzero if the event was unregistered; otherwise zero.

BroadcastNotification() [1/2]

CoreExport void BroadcastNotification

(

int

code

)

Remarks

Calling this global function causes the callback corresponding to the specified code to be called.

Parameters

code	Specifies which notification to broadcast. See System Notification Codes

BroadcastNotification() [2/2]

CoreExport void BroadcastNotification	(	int	code,
		void *	callParam
	)

Remarks

This global function is available in release 3.0 and later only.
This causes the callback corresponding to the specified code to be called and passes the specified void* parameter along to the callback.

Parameters

code	Specifies which notification to broadcast. See System Notification Codes
callParam	This parameter is passed to the callback. See the code NOTIFY_BITMAP_CHANGED for an example of this in use.

UnRegisterNotification() [2/2]

CoreExport int UnRegisterNotification	(	NOTIFYPROC	proc,
		void *	param
	)

Remarks

This global function unregisters the callback from all codes

Parameters

proc	The callback function called when the event occurs.
param	A pointer to a parameter which will be passed to the callback function.

Returns

Nonzero if the events were unregistered; otherwise zero.
