Detailed Description
Represents a set of ShaderParamDef, ShaderArrayParamDef, and/or ShaderStructParamDef objects.
This object allows you to manage the list of input and output parameters defined on a shader definition object (ShaderDef). Use this object to add and remove members and also access a CRefArray of ShaderParamDef objects (via the ShaderParamDefContainer::GetDefinitions member) to iterate over the list of parameters.
There are three functions which return a ShaderParamDefContainer:

Member Function Documentation
| bool IsA | ( | siClassID | in_ClassID | ) | const [virtual] |
Returns true if a given class type is compatible with this API class.
- Parameters:
-
in_ClassID class type.
- Returns:
- true if the class is compatible, false otherwise.
Reimplemented from SIObject.
| siClassID GetClassID | ( | ) | const [virtual] |
| ShaderParamDefContainer& operator= | ( | const ShaderParamDefContainer & | in_obj | ) |

- The new ShaderParamDefContainer object.
- Since:
- 9.0 (2011)
| ShaderParamDefContainer& operator= | ( | const CRef & | in_ref | ) |
Creates an object from a reference object. The newly created object is set to empty if the input reference object is not compatible.
- Parameters:

| ShaderParamDef AddArrayParamDef | ( | const CString & | in_name, |
| siShaderParameterDataType | in_dataType, | ||
| const ShaderParamDefOptions & | in_options = CRef() |
||
| ) |
Adds a ShaderArrayParamDef to this container. The type of the new parameter must be one of the standard Softimage native data types.
- Warning:
- You must specify any characteristics such as display name, capabilities, value range, etc. for this parameter definition on the ShaderParamDefOptions object before calling this method.
- Parameters:
-
in_name The registered name for the new parameter. On an instance of this parameter definition (ShaderParameter), this value will be returned when you call Parameter::GetScriptName.
To set the label you see in the UI for this parameter, use ShaderParamDefOptions::SetLongName.
To set the value returned by ShaderParamDef::GetDisplayName, use ShaderParamDefOptions::SetShortName.in_dataType The type of shader parameter to create (one of the siShaderParameterDataType values). in_options Options for this shader parameter definition. Use Factory::CreateShaderParamDefOptions to create the options as a ShaderParamDefOptions object.
- Returns:
- The new array parameter definition.

| ShaderParamDef AddArrayParamDef | ( | const CString & | in_name, |
| const CString & | in_dataType, | ||
| const ShaderParamDefOptions & | in_options = CRef() |
||
| ) |
Adds a ShaderArrayParamDef to this container. The type of the new parameter can be one of the standard Softimage native data types or a custom data type.
- Warning:
- You must specify any characteristics such as display name, capabilities, value range, etc. for this parameter definition on the ShaderParamDefOptions object before calling this function.
- Note:
- This function can be used as a shorthand for adding parameter definitions using custom shader port types (see Application::RegisterShaderCustomParameterType).
- Parameters:
-
in_name The registered name for the new parameter. On an instance of this parameter definition (ShaderParameter), this value will be returned when you call Parameter::GetScriptName.
To set the label you see in the UI for this parameter, use ShaderParamDefOptions::SetLongName.
To set the value returned by ShaderParamDef::GetDisplayName, use ShaderParamDefOptions::SetShortName.in_dataType The type of shader parameter to create. This can be either the string version of any of the siShaderParameterDataType values or a custom data type that has been registered with Application::RegisterShaderCustomParameterType. in_options Options for this shader parameter definition. Use Factory::CreateShaderParamDefOptions to create the options as a ShaderParamDefOptions object.
- Returns:
- The new array parameter definition.

To set the value returned by ShaderParamDef::GetDisplayName, use ShaderParamDefOptions::SetShortName.in_dataType The type of shader parameter to create (one of the siShaderParameterDataType values). in_options Options for this shader parameter definition. Use Factory::CreateShaderParamDefOptions to create the options as a ShaderParamDefOptions object.
- Returns:
- The new parameter definition.

| ShaderParamDef AddParamDef | ( | const CString & | in_name, |
| const CString & | in_dataType, | ||
| const ShaderParamDefOptions & | in_options = CRef() |
||
| ) |
Adds a ShaderParamDef to this container. The type of the new parameter can be one of the standard Softimage native data types or a custom data type.
- Warning:
- You must specify any characteristics such as display name, capabilities, value range, etc. for this parameter definition on the ShaderParamDefOptions object before calling this function.

To set the label you see in the UI for this parameter, use ShaderParamDefOptions::SetLongName.
To set the value returned by ShaderParamDef::GetDisplayName, use ShaderParamDefOptions::SetShortName.in_dataType The type of shader parameter to create. This can be either the string version of any of the siShaderParameterDataType values or a custom data type that has been registered with Application::RegisterShaderCustomParameterType. in_options Options for this shader parameter definition. Use Factory::CreateShaderParamDefOptions to create the options as a ShaderParamDefOptions object.

| CRefArray GetDefinitions | ( | ) |
Returns the list of all parameter definitions (ShaderParamDef objects) for this ShaderParamDefContainer object.
- Returns:
- CRefArray of ShaderParamDef objects
- Since:
- 9.0 (2011)
| ShaderParamDef GetParamDefByName | ( | const CString & | in_parameterName | ) |
Returns the ShaderParamDef that matches the specified name from this container. This is preferable to calling ShaderParamDefContainer::GetDefinitions(in_parameterName) if you don't need to iterate over the collection.
- Parameters:
-
in_parameterName The registered name of the shader parameter definition to return.
- Returns:
- the matching ShaderParamDef
