Self-installing menus 2004-07-19 - By Hardt, Michael

Self-Installers,
I LOVE creating scripted, self-installing, spdl-free, custom properties
and sticking them under the Get, Property menu on the left toolbar.
However, I want to be able to drop any number of new property scripts
into the plugins folder, and have them automatically show up under my
own menu item.
I'm having a hard time with this. I can create all my custom properties
from a single script, and put them all under the same menu item. Like
this:
'''''''''''''''''''''Save as PropCAndD.vbs
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
'Drop into a ...\Softimage\XSI_4.0\Application\Plugins folder to
install.
'Go under Get, Property, PropCAndD_Menu to apply / inspect.
function XSILoadPlugin( in_reg )
in_reg.Name = "PropCAndD SDK Example"
in_reg.RegisterProperty "PropC"
in_reg.RegisterProperty "PropD"
in_reg.RegisterMenu siMenuTbGetPropertyPSetID, "PropCAndD_Menu",
true, false
XSILoadPlugin = true
end function
function PropC_Define( io_Context )
io_Context.Source.AddParameter3 "MyCParam", siInt4, 1, 0, 20
end function
function PropD_Define( io_Context )
io_Context.Source.AddParameter3 "MyDParam", siDouble, 0, 0,
1
end function
function PropCAndD_Menu_Init( io_Context )
io_Context.Source.AddCallbackItem "PropCMenuItem",
"OnPropCMenuClicked"
io_Context.Source.AddCallbackItem "PropDMenuItem",
"OnPropDMenuClicked"
end function
function PropC_DefineLayout( io_Context )
io_Context.Source.Clear
io_Context.Source.AddItem "MyCParam", "My C Parameter"
end function
function PropD_DefineLayout( io_Context )
io_Context.Source.Clear
io_Context.Source.AddItem "MyDParam", "My D Parameter"
end function
function OnPropCMenuClicked( io_Context )
Set oNewProp = Application.ActiveSceneRoot.AddProperty("PropC")
InspectObj oNewProp, , "PropC", siRecycle
end function
function OnPropDMenuClicked( io_Context )
Set oNewProp = Application.ActiveSceneRoot.AddProperty("PropD")
InspectObj oNewProp, , "PropD", siRecycle
end function
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
''''''''''
Or I can create them all from separate files and have them all show up
separately under Get, Property. Like this:
'''''''''''''''''''''Save as PropA.vbs
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
'Drop into a ...\Softimage\XSI_4.0\Application\Plugins folder to
install.
'Go under Get, Property, PropAMenuItem to apply / inspect.
'Creates and inspects a PropA custom property under the scene root.
function XSILoadPlugin( in_reg )
in_reg.Name = "PropA SDK Example"
in_reg.RegisterProperty "PropA"
in_reg.RegisterMenu siMenuTbGetPropertyPSetID, "PropA_Menu",
false, false
XSILoadPlugin = true
end function
function PropA_Define( io_Context )
io_Context.Source.AddParameter3 "MyAParam", siInt4, 1, 0, 20
end function
function PropA_DefineLayout( io_Context )
io_Context.Source.Clear
io_Context.Source.AddItem "MyAParam", "My A Parameter"
end function
function PropA_Menu_Init( io_Context )
io_Context.Source.AddCallbackItem "PropAMenuItem",
"OnPropAMenuClicked"
end function
function OnPropAMenuClicked( io_Context )
Set oNewProp = Application.ActiveSceneRoot.AddProperty("PropA")
InspectObj oNewProp, , "PropA", siRecycle
end function
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
''''''''''
'''''''''''''''''''''Save as PropB.vbs
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
'Drop into a ...\Softimage\XSI_4.0\Application\Plugins folder to
install.
'Go under Get, Property, PropBMenuItem to apply / inspect.
'Creates and inspects a PropB custom property under the scene root.
function XSILoadPlugin( in_reg )
in_reg.Name = "PropB SDK Example"
in_reg.RegisterProperty "PropB"
in_reg.RegisterMenu siMenuTbGetPropertyPSetID, "PropB_Menu",
false, false
XSILoadPlugin = true
end function
function PropB_Define( io_Context )
io_Context.Source.AddParameter3 "MyBParam", siDouble, 0, 0,
1
end function
function PropB_DefineLayout( io_Context )
io_Context.Source.Clear
io_Context.Source.AddItem "MyBParam", "My B Parameter"
end function
function PropB_Menu_Init( io_Context )
io_Context.Source.AddCallbackItem "PropBMenuItem",
"OnPropBMenuClicked"
end function
function OnPropBMenuClicked( io_Context )
Set oNewProp = Application.ActiveSceneRoot.AddProperty("PropB")
InspectObj oNewProp, , "PropB", siRecycle
end function
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
''''''''''
But I can't create them from separate files and have them show up under
my own menu item. Can anybody point me in the right direction?
I'm following the example here:
...\Softimage\XSI_4.0\XSISDK\examples\properties\SimpleProperty\VBScript
\SimpleProperty.vbs.
