Hi,
Is there a was we can create a new listbox upon pressing a button. I mean say when we specify newscript() it opens a new maxscript page, similarly I need to open up a new listbox on the click of a button. Also this list box should contain data from another file (all the objects from another max file lsited here), which I need to pass on to my ongoing script.
I hope I was clear with my query,
Thanks,
Vikram
The best way to do this is to pre-define a rollout with a listbox and create a modal dialog when you press the button. Add an OK and a Cancel button to close that dialog. In the ON OPEN handler of the rollout, add the code to populate the listbox. In the handler of the OK button, pass the selection data back to the calling script (assuming your calling script has its rollout defined as global, passing data back should be easy).
If you want the listbox to appear in the same dialog as your button, you would have to rebuild the whole rollout, and it would be rather tricky.
Hi Bobo,
Thanks for the help, but I couldnt figure it out yet. I’m pasting my code. The error occurs when you choose “Get from another max file” in the radiobutton and press the “Pick Master Object”. When you select another maxfile, what I intend is that the new listbox should contain the list of objects in that particular selected max file.
Thanks,
Vikram
