Reload is called when the plug-in is reloaded into the cache.

A plug-in is unloaded from the cache when a user right-clicks a plug-in in the plug-in tree and clears the Cached check. This unloads the plug-in (the .dll/.so file, or the script file) from memory, but does not "unload" the plug-in from Softimage. The Plugin and PluginItem objects still exist in Softimage, and the plug-in is still registered.

When a plug-in is not cached, it is loaded and unloaded every time a plug-in item (such as a command) is invoked. This triggers the Reload and Unload callbacks.

All plug-in items except Custom Properties.

public class <plugin-item_name>
{
        public bool Reload( Context in_context )
        {
                ...
        }
}

CStatus <plugin-item_name>_Reload( CRef& in_context ) 
{ 
        ... 
}

function <plugin-item_name>_Reload( in_context ) 
{ 
        ... 
}

def <plugin-item_name>_Reload( in_context ):
        ...

Function <plugin-item_name>_Reload( in_context )
        ...
End Function

sub <plugin-item_name>_Reload 
{ 
        my $in_context = shift; 
}

<plugin-item-name> is the name used to register the plug-in item in XSILoadPlugin, with any spaces converted to underscores.
