[Closed] C++ and C#: accessing custom c++ class function from c#?

Jun 23, 2017 10:54 pm

I have an SDK simpleObject plugin. The simpleObject has a function:

void helloWorld()
{ 
   mprintf(_T("hello world
")); 
}

Is there any way I can access that function from .NET code in maxscript? Trying to call it directly after getting the object’s IINode obviously won’t work…

You have to wrap the function to make it work in c#, but i have not seen any example doing this with max SDK, and I have never done that myself either.
You find many examples by searching for ‘wrap function c++ to c#’ on google.

Another way that might work for you:
Expose the c++ function to maxscript (there are documentation i the SDK help, check function publishing), then call the maxscript function from c#.
I think this is the easiest solution, but you have to choose what you feel is best for your project obviously.
