Here’s some code…
rollout MyRollout "Yo"
(
label lbl_test "Haha"
)
MyFloater = newRolloutFloater "YoYo" 450 467 400 400
addRollout MyRollout MyFloater
cui.RegisterDialogBar MyFloater style:#(#cui_dock_all, #cui_floatable, #cui_handles)
The #cui_handles is supposed to give you handles to grab when the floater is docked, but I am finding when I pull the dialog to one side and dock it, the handles only appear sometimes, most of the times the handles aren’t there which means you can’t undock the floater.
This is in max 2014, anyone else seeing this? And anyone know how to fix it? [b]
Note:[/b] please save your UI before trying this, don’t want to put anyone’s UIs in an unrecoverable state.
Thanks for any help.

RC on a docked rollout(dialog, floater) has to give you a built-in menu with an option to make it floatable. does it not?
Right clicking gives me a “CLose Rollout”, “Close All”, “Open All” and “Yo” Options, but no way to float.
I just ran the code and then dragged to the left. Here’s a screenshot.

With your example, the handles always appear for me. Do you know how to recreate them not appearing?
I’m having the same issue and was wondering if someone has found a solution to this yet?
EDIT:
Just realized that this only happens for vertically docked dialogs. If I dock the dialog horizontally the handles are still there.
try(destroyDialog testR)catch()
rollout testR "Test" width:300
(
dotNetControl tabs "system.windows.forms.tabControl" width:(testR.width-30) height:25
subRollout subRoll "Sub" width:(testR.width-30) height:200 offset:[0,-5]
fn initTabs tab labels:#() =
(
tab.tabPages.clear()
tab.sizeMode=tab.sizeMode.fixed
tab.itemSize=dotnetObject "System.Drawing.Size" ((tab.width/labels.count)-2) 25
for x in labels do tab.tabPages.add x
)
on testR open do
(
initTabs tabs labels:#("Main", "Settings", "User")
)
)
createDialog testR
cui.registerDialogBar testR style:#(#cui_floatable, #cui_handles, #cui_dock_vert, #cui_max_sized)
So this above example does not show any handles. But Handles work when replacing #cui_dock_vert with #cui_dock_horz …
It appears that docking the dialog either to top or bottom first, fixes the issues in Max 2014.
Try this:
rollout MyRollout "Yo"
(
label lbl_test "Haha"
)
MyFloater = newRolloutFloater "YoYo" 450 467 400 400
addRollout MyRollout MyFloater
cui.RegisterDialogBar MyFloater style:#(#cui_dock_all, #cui_floatable, #cui_handles)
/* FIX ----------------------------------- */
cui.DockDialogBar MyFloater #cui_dock_top
cui.FloatDialogBar MyFloater
/* --------------------------------------- */
Nice workaround! :keenly: Thanks Jorge!
