[Closed] Button UI

not sure, but a couple of way i can think of: tagMap or activeX control

hmm… is the tagMap function only available in MAX7? i cant seem to find it in the maxscript reference…
yup, it myt be an activeX control.

sorry, i alway forget the name of that ui element, and since i wrote it from memory i got it wrong…

the ui element is called ImgTag and not tagmap.

no problem . yeah, it myt be an imgTag for the button. as its much easier to do compared to using activeX i guess.

I came up with this new layout (It’s just that I think max’s old style icons & user interface it’s so boring… (dunno if this is what you where trying to do though.)

No need ActiveX to do that button :deal: :

     rollout buttonRollout "" width:122 height:43
     (
     	button thebutton "The Button" pos:[11,11] width:100 height:20
     	button borderUp "" pos:[10,10] width:102 height:1 enabled:false
     	button borderLeft "" pos:[10,10] width:1 height:22 enabled:false
     	checkButton borderRight "" pos:[111,10] width:1 height:22 enabled:false checked:true
     	checkButton borderDown "" pos:[10,31] width:102 height:1 enabled:false checked:true
     )
     createDialog buttonRollout style:#(#style_titlebar,#Style_toolwindow,#style_sysmenu)
     

holy macro(script)! thats cool! so its just a simple button, plus addtional buttons to define the borders! waw I tried to do some quick wips on VMS

)createdialog buttonRollout

(sorry, didnt hav enough time to edit the names.)

many thanks Aritz!

That’s cool!

here’s an even simpler version:

 rollout test "test"
 (
 	progressBar pb "" pos:[10,10] width:77 height:20 enabled:false
 	button bn "The Button" width:75 height:18 pos:(pb.pos + [1,1])
 
 )
 createDialog test
 

cheers,

Yes that is easier method. We can “paint” thing too, using 1px buttons for dark lines and checked checkbutton for light lines.

Oh! Other thing. Does anybody know if it is posible change the style or size of the fonts without using images?
