Using Global VB Function anywhere in xsi ?

[eternal art]

Hello ..
I need a VB function with one Parameter to use it whereaver i want in softimage ( Like Utility Function) , so I simplify what i need in this function just to illustrate my problem ,

Code: Select all

function XSILoadPlugin( in_reg )
	in_reg.Author = "ZZZ"
	in_reg.Name = "My ZZZ Commands"
	in_reg.Major = 1
	in_reg.Minor = 0


	in_reg.RegisterCommand "MyGlobalMessage","MyGlobalMessage"
		
	'RegistrationInsertionPoint - do not remove this line

	XSILoadPlugin = true
	
End Function

'--------------------------------------------

Function MyGlobalMessage_Execute( ZZ )

Logmessage ZZ

End Function

Now I want to use The Same Function In a Button in My Toolbar :

Code: Select all

ZZ = "Hi ...."
MyGlobalMessage_Execute( ZZ )

It's give me an error message :

Code: Select all

Type mismatch: 'MyGlobalMessage_Execute' - [line]

Anyhelp or better way to do it is really appreciated .

This should work when you remove the _Execute in the button code. It's just an extension so Softimage knows in what function to find the implementation of your command.

I tried that :

Code: Select all

ZZ = "Hi ...."
MyGlobalMessage ( ZZ )

but still give me an error :

Code: Select all

' ERROR : Wrong number of arguments or invalid property assignment: 'MyGlobalMessage ' - [line 2]

When writing a custom command, you'll have to declare what arguments will get passed to the _Execute handler in the _Init handler. Don't know the specifics right now, it's all in the docs though.

I'v tried to search in the doc before i post here with no success , i will try to search again .
I'v attached an example if you can take a look on it .

Thanks in advanced .

It's in the sdk docs, not the normal docs.
There's probably also some example code to copy paste in there.
