[Closed] Opening a custom toolbar via maxscript
Given a custom toolbar named “foo” how can I toggle it open using Maxscript?
Given a custom toolbar named “foo” how can I assign a hotkey to open that toolbar?
Someone please correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think this is possible with MAXScript. It looks to be possible with the SDK, though. I could make a [free] plugin available that would expose this functionality in MAXScript. If there’s any interest in this, let me know. Or, if this is already possible with MAXScript, also let me know
Can I use the lack of the Listener echoing a command as a 100% indication that the functionality is not exposed to maxScript? I’ve got the Macro Recorder’s 3 filter options all flagged as on to give me maximum feedback but when I turn on my toolbar but it doesn’t echo the command used.
No, I don't think that's the case. I've run into other situations where something that is not echoed in the Listener is scriptable. For example, the Skin Wrap modifier's "Add" and "Remove" features are not echoed to the Listener, but it's quite possible to script them.
It usually comes down to scouring the documentation, and I haven’t found anything in there for what you’re wanting to do. It should be possible with a plugin, though.
