◆ GetDesc()

FPInterfaceDesc * GetDesc ( )

virtual

Remarks: Returns a pointer to the class which contains the interface metadata.

Implements FPInterface.

◆ GetLayerCount()

virtual int GetLayerCount ( )

pure virtual

Return the total number of layers on this layer control.

Returns: The total number of layers.

◆ SetLayerActive()

virtual void SetLayerActive ( int index )

pure virtual

Set the layer specified by the index to be active.

Note that this also sets this layer to be active on other layers on the same node that this layer is on, since layers on a node are synchronized.

Parameters

[in] index The layer to set active.

◆ GetLayerActive()

virtual int GetLayerActive ( )

pure virtual

Returns which layer is active.

Returns: The active layer.

◆ DeleteLayer()

virtual void DeleteLayer ( int index )

pure virtual

Delete the specified layer.

Note since layers are synchronized on a node, other layers on the same node will also get deleted.

Parameters

[in] index The layer to delete.

◆ CopyLayer()

virtual void CopyLayer ( int index )

pure virtual

Copy the specified layer so that it may be pasted.

Note since layers are synchronized on a node, other layers on the same node will also get cut.

Parameters

[in] index The layer to cut.

◆ PasteLayer()

virtual void PasteLayer ( int index )

pure virtual

Paste the copied layer to the specified index.

Note since layers are synchronized on a node, other layers on the same node will also get pasted. If no layer is copied, then nothing happens.

Parameters

[in] index Where the pasted layer will go.

◆ SetLayerName()

virtual void SetLayerName	(	int	index,
		MSTR	name )

pure virtual

Set the name of the specified layer.

Parameters

[in]	index	Which layer to rename.
[in]	name	The new name of the layer. Remember layer names are unique so if a layer exists with this name, nothing happens.

◆ GetLayerName()

virtual MSTR GetLayerName ( int index )

pure virtual

Get the name of the specified layer.

Parameters

[in] index Which layer's name to get.

Returns: Returns the layer's name. If the index is invalid, returns an empty string.

◆ GetLayerWeight()

virtual float GetLayerWeight	(	int	index,
		TimeValue	t )

pure virtual

Get the layer weight for the specified layer at the specified time.

Parameters

[in]	index	Where to get the layer weight.
[in]	t	At what time to get the layer weight.

Returns: Returns the layer weight.

◆ SetLayerWeight()

virtual void SetLayerWeight	(	int	index,
		TimeValue	t,
		float	weight )

pure virtual

Set the layer weight for the specified layer at the specified time.

Parameters

[in]	index	Where to set the layer weight.
[in]	t	At what time to set the layer weight.
[in]	weight	The weight to set.

◆ GetLayerMute()

virtual bool GetLayerMute ( int index )

pure virtual

Get whether or not a particular layer is muted or not.

Parameters

[in] index Which layer to see if it's muted.

Returns: Whether or not the layer is muted or not.

◆ SetLayerMute()

virtual void SetLayerMute	(	int	index,
		bool	mute )

pure virtual

Set whether or not a particular layer is muted or not.

Parameters

[in]	index	Which layer to mute or not.
[in]	mute	The mute value for the specified layer.

◆ GetSubCtrl()

virtual Control * GetSubCtrl ( int in_index ) const

pure virtual

Get a subcontroller from its index.

Returns: - a pointer to a Control, or NULL if the index is invalid.

Parameters

[in] in_index Index of the list controller subcontroller

◆ CollapseLayer()

virtual void CollapseLayer ( int index )

pure virtual

Collapse the layer at the specified index so that it gets deleted and it's keys and values are baked down to the previous layer.

Parameters

[in] index Where to collapse. The index must be greater than zero since we can't collapse the first layer.

◆ DisableLayer()

virtual void DisableLayer ( )

pure virtual

Disables and remove the layer controller, and replace it with the first, base layer.

Note that doing this may delete the layer control also, thus making this interface invalid. Nothing will happen if the layer controller has more than one layer.

◆ GetLayerLocked()

virtual bool GetLayerLocked ( int index )

pure virtual

Get whether or not the layer is locked.

A locked layer cannot be animated nor collapsed, or pasted over and an object with a locked layer cannot get disabled.

Parameters

[in] index Which layer to see if it's locked.

Returns: Whether or not the layer is locked or not.

◆ SetLayerLocked()

virtual void SetLayerLocked	(	int	index,
		bool	locked )

pure virtual

Set whether or not a particular layer is locked.

A locked layer cannot be animated nor collapsed, or pasted over and an object with a locked layer cannot get disabled.

Parameters

[in]	locked	the locked value for the specified layer. If true the layer is locked if false it is unlocked.
[in]	index	Which layer output to lock or unlock.
