Property Documentation

bool MaxCustomControls::UIOptions::LaunchedFromMax [static, get, set]

Indicates if this library is loaded in Max and needs its specialized handling.

In an effort to make this library not-Max specific, this property has been added to allow client code to dynamically check whether it is running in the context of a Max session. The underlying assumption also is that if this value is true, then IsDesignerMode is false.

bool MaxCustomControls::UIOptions::IsDesignerMode [static, get, set]

Indicates if this library is loaded in the Visual Studio designer.

This is a mechanism that client code can use to determine whether the code being run is done in the context of a running application, or in the context of the Visual Studio (or other IDE) designer. Sometimes it is useful and necessary to exclude certain calls based on whether the code is being run by the designer or not.
