Detailed Description

UI messages.

This class is used to register callbacks to track the deletion of UI objects.

The first parameter passed to the add callback method is the name of the UI that will trigger the callback.

The method returns an id which is used to remove the callback.

To remove a callback use MMessage::removeCallback.

All callbacks that are registered by a plug-in must be removed by that plug-in when it is unloaded. Failure to do so will result in a fatal error.

Public Types

) [static]

This method registers a callback for UI deleted messages.

The callback function will be passed any client data that was provided when the callback was registered.

Parameters:
[in] uiName the name of the UI object to register the callback for
[in] func the callback function
  • clientData User defined data passed to the callback function
param[in] clientData User defined data that will be passed to the callback function param[out] ReturnStatus status code
Returns:
Identifier used for removing the callback.
Status Codes:

MCallbackId MUiMessage::addCameraChangedCallback ( const MString panelName,
MMessage::MStringNode  func,
void *  clientData = NULL,
MStatus ReturnStatus = NULL 
) [static]

This method registers a callback for cameras being changed in 3d views. The callback is called when the camera changes for the given panel, not when attributes on the panel's camera change.

The callback function will be passed any client data that was provided when the callback was registered.

Parameters:
[in] func the callback function

  • camera The current camera used by the panel.
  • clientData User defined data passed to the callback function
[in] clientData User defined data that will be passed to the callback function
[out] ReturnStatus status code
Returns:
Identifier used for removing the callback.
Status Codes:

MCallbackId MUiMessage::add3dViewDestroyMsgCallback ( const MString panelName,
MUiMessage::MStringFunction  func,
void *  clientData = NULL,
MStatus ReturnStatus = NULL 
) [static]

This method registers a callback for when a particular 3d view gets destroyed. The callback is called before the destruction of the view.

The callback function will be passed any client data that was provided when the callback was registered.

Parameters:
[in] func the callback function
  • panelName The name of the panel that contains the 3d view.
  • clientData User defined data passed to the callback function
[in] clientData User defined data that will be passed to the callback function
[out] ReturnStatus status code
Returns:
Identifier used for removing the callback.

Examples:

MCallbackId MUiMessage::add3dViewPreRenderMsgCallback ( const MString panelName,
MUiMessage::MStringFunction  func,
void *  clientData = NULL,
MStatus ReturnStatus = NULL 
) [static]

This method registers a callback for when a particular 3d view is about to render it's contents. It is called before the scene is drawn, but after the background has been drawn.

The callback function will be passed any client data that was provided when the callback was registered.

Parameters:
