Detailed Description

See also:: Class GUP, Class GUPManager, Template Class Tab, Class GUPHandler.

Description:: This class is available in release 3.0 and later only.

This class can be used to create instance of GUP plug-ins on the fly, if needed. It is accessed through the GUPManager object. It keeps a list of available GUP plug-ins. An example of this can be found in /MAXSDK/SAMPLES/UTILITIES/COMSRV. This is a standard Utility plug-in which is used to give the GUP plug-in COMSRV a user interface.
