How to Create a vgPicker Call-back Function

 

Vega Code Example

 

 

 

 

 

  
 

This example illustrates how to use a call-back function with a vgPicker:

  • Create an instance of call-back function for vgPicker

  • How to add call-back function to the vgPicker

  • How to use the vgCommon function vgGetProp

  • How to get a pointer to the picked item from the call-back

  • How to use vgPrint to show information about a vgClass

 

The vgPicker supports the following call-back events

  • VGPICK_PICKED

  • VGPICK_UNPICKED

  • VGPICK_PICKED_POSCHANGE

  • VGPICK_NEW_MOVE        

  • VGPICK_NEW_MULTIMOVE

#include "vg.h"           //  main include file for Vega         

#include "pf.h"           //  main include file for Performer    

 
//  
//  
//  add a call back on the pick event, Note we do not 
//  pass in any user data as the vgPicker passes the 
//  picked item through udata pointer 
//

    //  Normally on Vega Calls instance call backs the user supplies 
    //  udata which should be structure created from the shared arena

    //  pass in a pointer to the item tha has been picked item which
    //  has to be cast to its correct type

        case VGPICK_GEOSET :
                printf("pfGeoSet Picked  0x%p\n", udata );
