[Closed] Set ISpinnerControl value

Hi i have a bit of a problem setting a spinner value, i can print the value showmethods properties etc but can’t set it.

here it is

fn KeycombSafeframe = (

					local WindowHandle = DialogMonitorOPS.GetWindowHandle()
					local WindowTitle =  (UIAccessor.GetWindowText WindowHandle)
					local g = (dotNetClass "Autodesk.Max.GlobalInterface").Instance
					local SpinnerArray = #()

					if WindowTitle == "Viewport Configuration" then (
						
						local parent 
						for i in (windows.getChildrenHWND WindowHandle) where i[4]=="Button" and i[5] == "Live Area" do parent = i[3]
						
						SpinnerArray = for h in (windows.getChildrenHWND WindowHandle) where h[3]== parent and h[4]== "SpinnerControl" collect h
						
						(
							thespinner = g.GetISpinner (dotnetobject "System.IntPtr" SpinnerArray[3][1])
							print thespinner.IVal
							thespinner.SetValue 50.0 1
						--	g.ReleaseISpinner thespinner
						)

					DialogMonitorOPS.unRegisterNotification id:#SafeFrameToggle
					DialogMonitorOPS.enabled = false 
					
					)
					True
				)
		
			DialogMonitorOPS.enabled = true
			DialogMonitorOPS.RegisterNotification KeycombSafeframe id:#SafeFrameToggle
			actionMan.executeAction 0 "40095"

this should set the Action Safe “horizontal” spinner in the safe frame tab
note that i enabled the spinner by hand for now unchecking the “Lock” Checkbox

it wont work either if i send or not the notification param and wether or not i release the control after it
thanks for checking it out

It works correctly in max 2014. If it doesn’t work in your max version try setting the spinner value using UIAccessor.SetWindowText and then sending the VK_RETURN char to the edit control.

-- better way to open the needed vpconfig tab
(dotNetClass "Autodesk.Max.GlobalInterface").Instance.CoreInterface14.DisplayViewportConfigDialogPage 3 -- 'Safe Frames' page index

thank you, it works perfectly this way
maybe because of the dialog that opens in the correct page!

thanks
