I'm creating my custom renderer, I want to detect different messages.

1- for example when the user renders in viewport, if he clicks anything "some message is sent" , it stops the rendering.

2- when he renders in picture viewer, to stop the rendering there is a cancel message "I wanna know which message to listen to it".

3- what about different messages, for example when object moves, camera moves, etc...

I know this question may seem too broad, but I just need a hint of where to start so I can manage different messages correctly.

Hello,

you can check if the current render process should end by checking the render thread.

  
if(vps->thread && vps->thread->TestBreak())  
{  
 return RENDERRESULT_OK;  
}  

Moving an object or the camera is a form of user interaction and has nothing to do with rendering. Such interactions typically trigger a core message, especially EVMSG_CHANGE.

Best wishes,

thanks Sebastian, I want to listen to these messages for interactive rendering.

sorry for opening this thread again, but I tested this, and found a main problem, my render call is something similar to this:

  
	if (vps->vp==VIDEOPOSTCALL_INNER && vps->open)
	{  
                //prepare data from RayObject(s)....  
                myRender();// a blocking call!!  
                cleanup();//  
        }  

so how can I do this check?? even if the GUI is showing the message and I click it, the execution of this message won't happen before myRender() function exits.

any ideas?

nvm, I think I know now how to do it, I put "(vps->thread && vps->thread->TestBreak())" in my render cancel callback.
