[Closed] Drag-to-select interface possible?

Hmm this may not be related to this specific problem, but it seems the form “steals” focus from the main max window, meaning that if a user selects some points, then press eg the “e” key on their keyboard to go into Rotate mode, Max won’t receive the key-press. I can already hear the lamentation from the animators if I tell them they need to click their viewport before using hotkeys – is this a known issue? And more importantly, how can I deal with it?

Not supposed to happen unless you specifically tell it to. Please post latest code.

you could try adding

enableaccelerators = true

to the end of the dotnet event handler. This will pass the keyboard focus back to max. if you are using a custom assembly, you can call this from the managed services dll.
