Registering Operators

Before you can apply an operator in XSI, you need to register it in XSILoadPlugin, which is called when XSI loads a self-installing plug-in. XSILoadPlugin gets a PluginRegistrar object from XSI, and you use PluginRegistrar.RegisterOperator to register custom operators.

C++ Example: Registering a custom operator

CStatus XSILoadPlugin( PluginRegistrar& in_reg )
{
   in_reg.PutAuthor = L"Operator Wizard User";
   in_reg.PutName = L"MyNewOperatorPlugin";
   in_reg.PutVersion( 1, 0 );

   // This plug-in contains a custom operator and a custom command to apply it
   in_reg.RegisterOperator( L"MyNewOperator" );
   in_reg.RegisterCommand( L"ApplyMyNewOperator", L"ApplyMyNewOperator" );
   return true;
}

JScript Example: Registering a custom operator

function XSILoadPlugin( in_reg )
{
   in_reg.Author = "Operator Wizard User";
   in_reg.Name = "MyNewOperatorPlugin";
   in_reg.Major = 1;
   in_reg.Minor = 0;

   // This plug-in contains a custom operator and a custom command to apply it
   in_reg.RegisterOperator "MyNewOperator" );
   in_reg.RegisterCommand( "ApplyMyNewOperator", "ApplyMyNewOperator" );
   return true;
}
