SyntaxThe SoMultiPathSwitch type exposes the following members.
Constructors| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | SoMultiPathSwitch | Create a multi-path switch node with default settings. |
| SoMultiPathSwitch(Int32) | Constructor that takes approximate number of children. |
Methods| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| AddChild | Adds a child as last one in group. |
| AffectsState | Returns true if a node has an effect on the state during traversal. |
| Callback | (Inherited from SoGroup.) |
| Copy | Calls Copy(false). (Inherited from SoNode.) |
| Copy(Boolean) | Creates and returns an exact copy of the node. |
| CopyFieldValues(SoFieldContainer) | Calls CopyFieldValues(fc, false). (Inherited from SoFieldContainer.) |
| CopyFieldValues(SoFieldContainer, Boolean) | Copies the contents of fc's fields into this object's fields. |
| Dispose |
Releases all resources used by SoDisposable.
(Inherited from SoDisposable.) |
| Distribute | (Inherited from SoNode.) |
| DoAction | (Overrides SoGroupDoAction(SoAction).) |
| EnableNotify | Notification at this Field Container is enabled (if flag == true) or disabled (if flag == false). |
| Equals | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| FieldsAreEqual | Returns true if this object's fields are exactly equal to fc's fields. |

| Get | Returns the values of the fields of this object in the Open Inventor ASCII file format in the given string. |
| GetAllFields | Returns a list of fields, including the eventIn's and eventOut's. |
| GetAlternateRep | This method is called by actions to allow the node to provide an "alternate representation" when appropriate (typically depending on the action type). |
| GetBoundingBox | (Overrides SoGroupGetBoundingBox(SoGetBoundingBoxAction).) |
| GetChild | Returns pointer the child node with the given index. |
| GetEventIn | Returns a the eventIn with the given name. |

| GetField | Returns a the field of this object whose name is fieldName. |
| GetFieldName | Returns the name of the given field in the fieldName argument. |
| GetFields | Appends references to all of this object's fields to resultList, and returns the number of fields appended. |

| IsNotifyEnabled | Notification is the process of telling interested objects that this object has changed. |
| IsOverride | Returns the state of the override flag. |

| ReplaceChild(Int32, SoNode) | Replaces child with given index with new child. |
| ReplaceChild(SoNode, SoNode) | Replaces first instance of given child with new child. |
| Search | (Overrides SoGroupSearch(SoSearchAction).) |
| Set | Sets one or more fields in this object to the values specified in the given string, which should be a string in the Open Inventor file format. |

| UserData |
Gets or sets the user data to be contained by the field container.
(Inherited from SoFieldContainer.) |
RemarksOIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoMultiPathSwitch is a group node that traverses its children only if the current traversal path matches one of the OIV.Inventor.SoPath specified in the OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoMultiPathSwitch.paths field.
This can be used, for example, to affect only specific instances of a subgraph. The OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoMultiPathSwitch.paths field contains a list of paths up to (but not including) the SoMultiPathsSwitch. The paths need not go all the way back to the root; if they do not, then only the number of ancestors that are in the path are compared to see if the children should be traversed.
An empty OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoMultiPathSwitch.paths (the default) means that no children are traversed.
Effectively this is an extended version of OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoPathSwitch.
Note: This node disables the bounding box cache for all OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoSeparator nodes above it in the scene graph. This may reduce performance when moving the camera and the viewer's auto clip plane adjustment is enabled (the default). (It does not affect render caching.)

ACTION BEHAVIOR
OIV.Inventor.Actions.SoGetBoundingBoxAction Traverses the children if the paths match. Disables bounding box caches.
OIV.Inventor.Actions.SoGLRenderAction, OIV.Inventor.Actions.SoCallbackAction, OIV.Inventor.Actions.SoGetBoundingBoxAction, OIV.Inventor.Actions.SoRayPickAction, OIV.Inventor.Actions.SoHandleEventAction Traverses the children if the paths match.
