[Closed] Does MXS support "catching a file" dropped into max?

Dec 03, 2018 4:32 am

Say we have a UI of some sort, saying “drop your file here” (I am particulary thinking of mcr & ms files) and catching that file, so that the behaviour becomes different than when dropping the file into Max?

without the sdk help (without using max sdk and win api) the answer is “no”

You can drag-n-drop them on the dotnet control. link

The reason of my question is that I am wondering if it would be possible to drag drop MCR files but only run the macroscript body (is that the right term?) and without the header.

Would that require a dialog that catches the file or can there be other ways?
