I have been trying to use the OnEvent callback with siOnBeginCommand to abort and replace ApplyTopoOp commands in SI2013
Building on the example in the SDK documentation <http://download.autodesk.com/global/docs/softimage2012/en_us/sdkguide/index.html?url=si_cmds/cb_Event_OnEvent.html,topicNumber=si_cmds_cb_Event_OnEvent_html> I am successfully intercepting events, but only some of them abort correctly, returning > ' INFO : 4373 - This event was aborted: > before executing the command anyway. CreatePrim and ApplyTopoOp, for instance, behave this way. Other commands, such as selection and navigation commands, abort successfully. Code when attempting to abort ApplyTopoOp: > XSIPLUGINCALLBACK CStatus HCoverrideCommand_OnEvent( CRef& in_context ){ > > Application app; > Context ctxt(in_context); > Command currentCommand = ctxt.GetAttribute("Command"); > CString commandName = currentCommand.GetName(); > > if (commandName=="Extrude Comp. Axis") > { > app.LogMessage("Extrude detected. Attempting to abort."); > > //Abort command. > return CStatus::OK; > > } > > //Return false to NOT cancel the intercepted command > return CStatus::False;} > > Output: > ' INFO : Extrude detected. Attempting to abort. > ' INFO : 4373 - This event was aborted: > ' <name: HCoverrideCommand> > ' <plug-in: > C:\Users\Roughy\Autodesk\Softimage_2013\Addons\HairCommands\Application\Plugins\hairCommands.dll> > ' > ApplyTopoOp "ExtrudeComponentAxis", "grid.poly[27,28,35,36]", > siUnspecified, siPersistentOperation Are you only allowed to abort certain commands, or am I doing something wrong here? The docs also state that you can modify the arguments of the command. I don't quite see how to do so, unless you're expected to abort the command and call its replacement yourself. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
