Hi I’m trying to create a “control panel” in max to control a moving head lamp that I have made the problem is that I’m very new to max script (this is my first max script).
I want to control different things like the movement of the head and turning on/off the light choosing color and pick object to follow changing lens etc.
I'm taking it in small step so right now I'm trying to do that if I press RUN and the a check box"random" is Not checked then it should do as it does now and if it checked then the lamp should move randomly but I haven't written that code yet so if its checked then it should just message checked for now.
and how do I wright only text? like I have in the PS image: left, right,10x, etc
I'm going to post more questions in this thread later when this is solved and I'm stuck on something else, (I'm sure I will)

Hi Patan77,
make sure to read up on all available MaxScript UI controls; there is tons of interesting stuff.
The one you are looking for, a “text only” control, is called Label.
In case you need extra functionality such as changing fore\background color, text alignment and font, you can use a ‘.NET Label’ control and resort to Microsoft’s .NET reference to know how to use it. After you get the hang of it it’s very natural.
Whats the code for disable spinner? like in this pic: 
spinner.enabled=false
