Intercept command

[françois leroy]

Hi!

I've written a plugin (effect) to control MaskShapes instead of AE.

I already have a button in my plugin, to switch between 2 options: 1_Mask controls effect, 2_Effect controls mask.

Now I'm trying to intercept the following command: Free Transform (ctrl + t).

If I get the call, switch to option 1, when Free Transform is over, switch back to option 2.

So, here are the issues:

First, how to get the call? (I tried to handle PF_Event, but no result for the moment...)

More tricky, how to know when user stops Free Transform, as effect isn't selected anymore?

If anyone has the beginning of a clue, I'm highly interested!

Thanx,

François

Note: I found a work around by script and executeScript, but I was wondering if there is a more reliable way through SDK.

AEGP_RegisterCommandHook() is the way to go.

you can initially request all commands to report to you, until you zero in on the commnads that are of interest to you.

i don't know if such commands are reported, but hey, if you don't try, you won't know.

p.s.

AEGP_RegisterCommandHook() might only work for AEGPs...

Thanx Shachar!

As usual, you're the man with an answer... you should write a book!

Cheers,

Hi Shachar!

I manages to intercept AE's command, but it works a bit too well...

When user calls "free transform", I can do what ever I want, except "free transform".

Is there a way to give the control back to AE when Cmd 's been intercepted?

(I set AEGP_HP_AfterAE, but it doesn't change anything...)

Cheers,

François

PS: registration code is coming...

i think you're supposed to report back whether you've handled the event or

not.

if you report back "false" AE will handle the command itself, regardless of

any operation you have done during that call.
