Detailed Description

Your object should derive from this interface if you want to register extra parameters (parameters that are not in the parameter map). This allows you to register a dynamic number of parameters


Member Function Documentation

virtual MCCOMErr MCCOMAPI I3DExAnimated::CopyTimeData ( IMCUnknown dest  )  [pure virtual]

Is called during clone to copy the animation data associated with the extra parameters registered in RegisterParams().

Parameters:
dest A pointer to the destination component.
virtual MCCOMErr MCCOMAPI I3DExAnimated::InvalidateCaches ( int32  itsID,
int32  itsIndex 
) [pure virtual]

Invalidates caches associated with an animated parameter. In most cases this method should do nothing.

Parameters:
itsID The ID of the parameter.
itsIndex The index of the parameter.
virtual MCCOMErr MCCOMAPI I3DExAnimated::RegisterParams (  )  [pure virtual]

This functions is called by the shell to register extra parameters for the object. Here an example of how to register an extra parameter:

 TMCCountedPtr<ITimeBased> timeBased;
 QueryInterface(IID_ITimeBased, (void**)&timeBased);
 ThrowIfNil(timeBased);
   
 I3DShTimeBasedData* timeBasedData = timeBased->GetTimeBasedDataNoAddRef();
   
 if (MCVerify(timeBasedData))
 {
   real param=0;
   timeBasedData->SetParam(&param,"Dynamic Param",'temp',kReal32ParamType);
 }
