Reload

Description

Reload is called when the plug-in is reloaded into the cache.

A plug-in is unloaded from the cache when a user right-clicks a plug-in in the plug-in tree and clears the Cached check. This unloads the plug-in (the .dll/.so file, or the script file) from memory, but does not "unload" the plug-in from Softimage. The Plugin and PluginItem objects still exist in Softimage, and the plug-in is still registered.

When a plug-in is not cached, it is loaded and unloaded every time a plug-in item (such as a command) is invoked. This triggers the Reload and Unload callbacks.

Applies To

All plug-in items except Custom Properties.

Syntax

// C#
public class <plugin-item_name>
{
   public bool Reload( Context in_ctxt )
   {
       ...
   }
}

// C++
CStatus <plugin-item_name>_Reload( CRef& in_context )
{
   ...
}

// JScript
function <plugin-item_name>_Reload( in_context )
{
   ...
}

# Python
def <plugin-item_name>_Reload( in_context ):
   ...

' VBScript
Function <plugin-item_name>_Reload( in_context )
   ...
End Function

# PerlScript
sub <plugin-item_name>_Reload 
{
   my $in_context = shift;
}

<plugin-item_name> is the name used to register the plug-in item in XSILoadPlugin, with any spaces removed.
