I haven’t tried either of them.
Hi guys, not posted in a while but the dot net form is going well. Have got the treeview working and everything is going to plan(ish).
Is there a way to traverse up and down a folder directory with maxscript?
Say I have a folder location and want to go up to a parent folder or up to a folder more than one step above. Would like to do it with maxscript not dot net, but can implement dot net way if the former cannot be done (which I am sure it can be)
Will continue to research, its probably going to be quite basic but pointers welcome. And some mild abuse would also be ok.
I could use filterstring of course but that is a ball ache.
How can i change the color of the actual text in the textbox to be blue and then change to green after it reaches a certain number of characters?
rollout unnamedRollout "Untitled" width:260 height:184
(
dotNetControl textBox "textbox" pos:[16,112] width:232 height:20
)
createDialog unnamedRollout
try(DestroyDialog ::unnamedRollout)catch()
rollout unnamedRollout "Untitled" width:260 height:184
(
fn changeTxtColor ctrl splitAfter:10 =
(
ctrl.forecolor = if ctrl.TextLength <= splitAfter then ctrl.forecolor.DodgerBlue else ctrl.forecolor.LawnGreen
)
dotNetControl textBox "textbox" pos:[16,112] width:232 height:20
on textBox TextChanged arg do changeTxtColor textBox
on textBox GotFocus arg do enableAccelerators = false
on textBox LostFocus arg do enableAccelerators = true
on unnamedRollout open do
(
textBox.BackColor = textBox.BackColor.black
changeTxtColor textBox ; textBox.focus()
)
)
createDialog unnamedRollout
Awesome.
Thank you.
Whats this for “enableAccelerators”
enableAccelerators is not needed if you are using a dotNetControl inside of a rollout like in the example above!
I also believe that if you are using a maxForm you will not need to use enableAccelerators in order to be able to type inside .Net Controls.
Exactly right. Both MaxForms and Rollouts do not require any methods to call enable/disableAccellerators. Annoyingly MaxForms also catch any keyboard shortcuts you have assigned to catch your tool being closed through a macroscript, which is why I prefer using a windows form and handling it all myself.
I was wondering how i can make it so i could select multiple items in this list and right click and edit ‘position’ for just the selected items in the list. Then maybe select a few other items in the list and adjust the ‘wirecolor’ for all those objects.
How can i do this?
