[Closed] C++ QT Window

Feb 18, 2022 12:36 am

I just tried to create a QT window inside Max. This code works just fine:

#include <QtWidgets/QWidget>
#include <maxscript/maxscript.h>
#include <maxscript/macros/define_instantiation_functions.h>

QWidget window;

def_visible_primitive(TestFunction, "TestFunction");
Value* TestFunction_cf(Value **arg_list, int count)
{
	window.show();
	return NULL;
}

Any idea how we can set parent of this Widget to the Max main window?

#include <Qt/QmaxMainWindow.h>

MaxSDK::QmaxMainWindow* maxMain = GetCOREInterface()->GetQmaxMainWindow();
window.setParent(maxMain);

Thank you, but the window will disappear when I set it’s parent. I’m looking for something like we do for the WPF window:

(dotnetobject "System.Windows.Interop.WindowInteropHelper" Window).owner = dotnetobject "IntPtr" (windows.getMAXHWND())

I find another method which is even more functional:

#include <maxscript/maxscript.h>
#include <maxscript/macros/define_instantiation_functions.h>

#include <Qt/QmaxMainWindow.h>
#include <Qt/QmaxDockWidget.h>

def_visible_primitive(TestFunction, "TestFunction");
Value* TestFunction_cf(Value **arg_list, int count)
{
	MaxSDK::QmaxMainWindow* maxMainWindow = GetCOREInterface()->GetQmaxMainWindow();
	QDockWidget* dockWidget = new QDockWidget(maxMainWindow);
	maxMainWindow->addDockWidget(Qt::LeftDockWidgetArea, dockWidget);
	dockWidget->setFloating(true);
	return NULL;
}
