Ok im usiung the following code, and it doesnt seem to work, its supposed to set mycanceled to true if the user rightclicks the spinner, in this case no matter what value i give it it just gives out the value false.
Any idea why this is?
Thanks
on myVTile buttonup myCanceled do
(
print myCanceled
if myCanceled == True do
(
print "poo"
myUTile.value = 1
)
)
Try passing the variable by reference instead of by value:
on myVTile buttonup &myCanceled do
(
print myCanceled
if myCanceled == True do
(
print "poo"
myUTile.value = 1
)
)
If haven’t tried this, but it may work.
Didnt work unfortunatley.
Thanks tho…
The <in_Cancel> argument is only set to true when you cancel the spinner change, not just when you right-click it. Just like with any operation in max, you can cancel a dragging action (left-click + drag) by pressing the right mousebutton while still holding the left mousebutton. Doing this on the spinner control will give you an <in_Cancel> value of true.
The by-reference sign & is not needed btw.

hi Gibbz
According to the MaxScript Referance the way to catch a Button up event is
on <spinner> buttonup do <expr>
[font=Verdana]
As far as i can make out the scipt does not[/font][font="] distinguish between [/font]a right click cancel event and a left click button up event. (Although I haven’t checked Max 8)
I guess what you would need to do would be something like this…
On <spinner> buttondown do test = <Spinner>.value
On <spinner> buttonup do
(
if test == <Spinner>.value do
(
–It’s a right click Function
myUTile.value = 1
)
)
Although you can look at the mouse button states directly using
mouse.buttonStates
hi Martijn
Is that < in cancel > argument new to max 8 ? I haven’t seen it before.
Yes a lot of UI controls have new events and some events (like the spinner control) have changed.
