[Closed] TabStrip ActiveX Control – problem

Hi everyone!

I’ve got a problem with TabStrip ActiveX Control.

Problem is: i changed my Windows from XP to XP PRO x64 and also 3D max 9 form 32 bit to 64 bit. One of my favourite scripts uses “MSComctlLib.TabStrip.2”. So, it make error when i try to run it in 3D max 9 x64.

(– Runtime error: Cannot create the ActiveX control: MSComctLib.TabStrip.2)

also i tried to run Example code form MaxScript Reference and it make the same error.

How can i fix it?

Hello Turrus,

you need to recode the script using a dotnet equivalent for 64bit. 32 bit max will still run activex, but everything has shifted to dotnet for 64bit installs. There are some tutorials about converting activex to dotnet that should provide you a start in the MXS help.

Hi, as LoneRobot said, you need to use a dotnetcontrol instead of activeXcontrol.

If you can post the script (or the UI and handlers), I could help you

This will get you started with the Dot Net version
