MKI_NOTIFY_EXT_INIT (Plug-In Notification Command) Changed in Version 2020.1

The object Ext shall be initialized, i.e. a new display list shall be created.

Since this command may be called while loading a drawing or library file, do not try to access any other object or block in the drawing or any library unless explicitly stated in the call stack pointed to by Data!

Parameters

Ext

Address of the object to be initialized.

Data

Upon call, this contains either the address of a MKI_UNITSTACK structure containing the sequence of entities used to draw Ext (and thus possibly containing attributes required to resolve any texts therein) or nullptr. Will be used for implicit variable and local attribute resolving.

Return Value

MKI_NOTIFY_RESULT_DONE

Ext is known, given task successfully finished.

MKI_NOTIFY_RESULT_FAIL

Ext is known, could not finish the given task (usually due to an error such as insufficient memory).

MKI_NOTIFY_RESULT_UNKNOWN

Ext is not known or task not supported, ask the other plug-ins.
