void SetUserCallback ( SplineDataCallback  fn,

Sets the callback function to be called for events on the instance.

The callback must be setup each time a SplineData parameter is being initialized or gets a new instance assigned. See example below for details.

// The callback function which does clamp the SplineData.
//
// This callback is being invoked after a SplineData parameter has been modified to which this
// callback has been attached. It is being used in this case to clamp the tangents of the
// SplineData vertices, so that they cannot lie outside of the half-unit interval [0, 1]. The
// effect will be that the tangent handles will "snap back" when a user has set a handle to a value
// which does exceed that interval.
// Being demonstrated is a naive approach to such clamping, for more sensible results the tangent
// points would have to be projected onto that [0, 1] interval box instead of just being clamped
// to it.
//
// @param[in] cid The callback message id.
// @param[out] data The callback data. This will be pData when set up manually, otherwise it will
// be filled in by Cinema 4D.
static bool SplineDataCallBack(Int32 cid, const void* data)

// There are other callback types, in this case only SPLINE_CALLBACK_CORE_MESSAGE is being used.
{
// Cast the callback data into a SplineDataCallbackCoreMessage and extract the attached
// SplineData.

return true;
// Iterate over all vertices of the SplineData
for (int i = 0; i < splineData->GetKnotCount(); i++)
{
CustomSplineKnot* knot = splineData->GetKnot(i);
// Tangents live in a vector space relative to their vertex, so the tangent vertices are being
// converted to the global spline space first, and then clamped to that [0, 1] interval.
Vector globalLeftTangent = (knot->vPos + knot->vTangentLeft).Clamp01();
Vector globalRightTangent = (knot->vPos + knot->vTangentRight).Clamp01();
// Then the tangents are being converted back to their local vertex space and written back.
knot->vTangentLeft = globalLeftTangent - knot->vPos;
knot->vTangentRight = globalRightTangent - knot->vPos;
}
}
return true;
}
// Initializes some NodeData which does host a SplineData parameter that should be monitored by a
// callback function.
//
// The callback must be attached to all new SplineData instances which should be monitored. Common
// places to do this are NodeData::Init, NodeData::SetDParameter, etc., i.e., places where
// SplineData instances are being created or assigned to a parameter.

// The second argument, pData, could also be defined manually, but in most cases it is not
// necessary to do this.
