Function Documentation

◆ RegisterCustomDataTypePlugin()

Bool RegisterCustomDataTypePlugin	(	const maxon::String &	str,
		Int32	info,
		CustomDataTypeClass *	dat,
		Int32	disclevel
	)

Registers a custom data type plugin.

Parameters

[in]	str	The name of the plugin.
[in]	info	The custom data type plugin info flags: CUSTOMDATATYPE_INFO PLUGINFLAG
[in]	dat	An instance for the custom data type plugin. Cinema 4D takes over the ownership of the pointed data instance.
[in]	disclevel	The plugin level is similar to a version number. The default level is 0. Increase this for new revisions of a plugin to allow for forward and backward compatibility. As an example you may have updated a plugin. If you now need to write additional information for new settings or changed types for old settings increase the level. During loading either a 0 is passed (if the file was written by the old plugin) or 1 (if the file was written by the new plugin). This allows to easily write/read new values. For forward and backward compatibility to work any existing read order from a given level must not be changed. Cinema 4D skips any new settings automatically if they have not been read. disklevel is only useful if variables are written/read in CustomDataTypeClass::WriteData/ CustomDataTypeClass::ReadData.

Returns: true if the custom data type plugin was registered, otherwise false.

Bool RegisterResourceDataTypePlugin	(	const maxon::String &	str,
		Int32	info,
		ResourceDataTypeClass *	dat,
		Int32	disclevel
	)

Registers a resource data type plugin.

Parameters

[in]	str	The name of the plugin.
[in]	info	The resource data type plugin info flags: PLUGINFLAG
[in]	dat	An instance for the resource data type plugin. Cinema 4D takes over the ownership of the pointed data instance.
[in]	disclevel	The plugin level is similar to a version number. The default level is 0. Increase this for new revisions of a plugin to allow for forward and backward compatibility. As an example you may have updated a plugin. If you now need to write additional information for new settings or changed types for old settings increase the level. During loading either a 0 is passed (if the file was written by the old plugin) or 1 (if the file was written by the new plugin). This allows to easily write/read new values. For forward and backward compatibility to work any existing read order from a given level must not be changed. Cinema 4D skips any new settings automatically if they have not been read. disklevel is only useful if variables are written/read in CustomDataTypeClass::WriteData/ CustomDataTypeClass::ReadData.

Returns: true if the resource data type plugin was registered, otherwise false.
