Classes
class	DllDesc
	This class models a plug-in DLL. More...
class	ClassEntry
	This class wraps a ClassDesc instance and maintains run-time related information about it. More...
class	SClassUIInfo
	This class allows developers to provide some additional information on a superclass. More...
class	SubClassList
	A collection of ClassEntry objects that have the same super class id. More...
class	ClassDirectory
	This class represents the directory of all plug-in classes known to the system. More...
class	DllDir
	Represents the plug-in DLL "directory", which is a registry of every plug-in DLL loaded by 3ds Max. More...

Macros
Plug-in access types.
#define	ACC_PUBLIC   1
	ClassDesc has public access - plug-in type is exposed to end users in the UI.
#define	ACC_PRIVATE   2
	ClassDesc has private access - plug-in type is not exposed to end users in the UI, but 3ds Max uses it internally, for example when it needs to load plug-in data.
#define	ACC_ALL   (ACC_PUBLIC|ACC_PRIVATE)
	Convenience access specifier, to allow easy retrieval of both public and private ClassDesc.

Typedefs
typedef const ULONG(*	LibVersionProcPtr) ()
	Pointer to a function with the following signature: ULONG LibVersion().
typedef const MCHAR *(*	LibDescriptionProcPtr) ()
	Pointer to a function with the following signature: const MCHAR* LibDescription().
typedef int(*	LibNumberClassesProcPtr) ()
	Pointer to a function with the following signature: int LibNumberClasses().
typedef ClassDesc *(*	LibClassDescProcPtr) (int i)
	Pointer to a function with the following signature: ClassDesc* LibClassDesc(int) Returns the i-th class descriptor (ClassDesc derived object).
typedef int(*	LibInitializeProcPtr) ()
	Pointer to a function with the following signature: int LibInitialize() Allows to perform one-time plug-in data initialization.
typedef int(*	LibShutdownProcPtr) ()
	Pointer to a function with the following signature: int LibShutdown() Allows to perform one-time plug-in data un-initialization.
typedef ULONG(*	CanAutoDeferProcPtr) ()
	Pointer to a function with the following signature: BOOL CanAutoDefer() Plug-ins that do not wish or cannot be defer loaded should implement this method to return FALSE.
