Light C++ Sample
Overview
Source code for DIView sample is available in Samples\VC
folder of the installation directory. If you are going to compile
the project we suggest to
copy whole VC directory to location outside of the installation folder.
Light is a simple MFC dialog-based application, which
displays Light.mdg model. It demonstrates programmatic manipulation of
properties of lighting.
Implementation
All the work is done inside CLightDlg class. CLightDlg::OnInitDialog()
retrieves IArray interface, controlling the array of all lights in the model.
The IArray is obtained as "LightSourceArray" property from IPropertyArray,
which in turn is queried from IModel interface. The IArray pointer is kept in m_pIArrLights
member of the dialog class.
The ILightSource interface m_pILightSource implemented by the current light
source is retrieved in CLightDlg::UpdateSourceInfo().
New lights are added or removed in CLightDlg::SetLightSourceCount(int nCount)
using methods of IArray.
Tools > "Modify Popup Menu" menu option starts CustomizeMenuDlg which uses
IMenu_KC
and IMenuItem_KC
to manipulate the menu.
Notice also the CLightDlg::OnKernelCADEvent
DG Kernel Event handler, which
intercepts the menu commands. When user selects Surface or Wireframe commands
the handler updates the relevant radio buttons on the dialog to keep it
synchronized with the component state. Notice also how the Save As command is
blocked by param1->boolVal = VARIANT_TRUE; because the command is
handled by the application itself.
