Re: exit from a CustomTool

[Andrew Prostrelov]

 I am not quiet sure that i understand you right. Did you mean right a
delay timer or use events ?
 The friend of mine suggest EventTimers. Register additional event with a
timer in it.
 But it was in a context of a slightly different topic.
 Let's assume that we receive KeyUp callback, what a timer should do ?

Ok, then I would suggest looking into using a timer to run your previous script 
after the key up callback returns.

I tryed to use ExitTool in KeyUp callback
it didn't work
 CustomTool_KeyUp(ToolContext& in_ctxt)
 {
in_ctxt.ExitTool();
 }

the same in Draw() callback
 CustomTool_Draw(ToolContext& in_ctxt)
 {
in_ctxt.ExitTool();
 }

 The only callback it works for me is MouseUp().
 And sine i want quit tool on keyboard shortcut release - i can't use Mouse 
callbacks.

Hi Andrew,

Have you tried calling the ExitTool method on the ToolContext that was passed 
to you?

Subject: exit from a CustomTool

Hi.
I suppose this one is a simple question but so far i can't handle it:
how should i exit from CustomTool registered by my XSI plugin ?

I want exit from my tool after shortcut CTRL+Z was released.
// So i register this shortcut ...
CustomTool_Activate(ToolContext& in_ctxt)
{
in_ctxt.RegisterShortcutKey( 0x5A, L"myKey", siCtrlMask /* ctrl */, 
true /*repeatable*/ );
}

// ... and try to change tools (since in_ctxt.ExitTool() works only in Mouse 
and Menu callbacks) to exit from my tool
CStatus KeyUp( ToolContext& in_ctxt )
{
if((ULONG) in_ctxt.GetShortcutKey() == 0x5A)
{

Application().ExecuteScriptCode(L"Application.ActivateSelectTool()", L"Python" 
);// mimic exit from tool
}
return CStatus::OK;
}

But this way XSI crashes when tools are changed. And i can't understand why.
On other hand there are no problems if i switch to SelectTool in XSI (not 
inside plugin code).
This tool is a dummy so, no additional pointers in user data etc that can crash 
it.

Re: exit from a CustomTool

[Andrew Prostrelov]

Or maybe i can somehow force run one of a CustomTool callbacks ? It would
be handy too.

Re: Color from particles to Legolizer?

[Ed Schiffer]

Hi Morten

thanks for using my compound :)
as a guess, I'd go with Get Closest Locations and Switch Context nodes, but
I always get confused with context as well.

wish you luck.
cheers
