just copied an example from my archive. it uses TabControl from .net forms

Thanks denis, I have a great version for maxscript.

I want to add tabs to my utility plugin in c++ using .net. I have a lot of the talk back working in the c++ UI so, I just missing the tabs to complete the UI.

Thanks and sorry I might not have explained my self to well in first post.

Is there a way of using tabs in the utility plugin? Would c++ and .net be a better way? I have not found any samples on this. Has anyone done this?

theres an example of c++ tab control usage in render effects, blur project in the samples (you do know that .net is a c# wrapper to the core c++ win32 library where ui controls are concerned)

Klvnk, thanks I will go thought the samples. I didn’t know there was one.

Klvnk, one quick question for you from one of your function publishing example. I almost have it working. The problem is in our OpenDialog(); I know I’m connecting to the plugin by opening it in the Utilities panel and calling …

CloseDialog() { if(theSpringboard.hDlg != NULL)  DestroyWindow(theSpringboard.hDlg); }

It shuts it down fine.

To open it…

void Springboard::OpenDialog(){
	this->Init();
	theSpringboard.hDlg = hDlg;
	CenterWindow(hDlg, GetParent(hDlg));
}

but this only works if we have it open. It will open a fresh one.

But if we go into 3dsmax and call it fresh, nothing happens.

Any pointers on what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks
