[Closed] How do I use ExecuteMaxscriptCommand

use reflection

in the end it would be smth like this

...

void ExecuteAnyVersion( string script )	
{
	int max_version = Funcs.GetMaxVersion();

	switch( max_version )
	{
		case 2023:
		{
			var extra_arg = Funcs.GetExtraArgForVersion(max_version);
			Type t = typeof(Funcs);
			t.GetMethod("Execute").Invoke( null, new object[]{ script, extra_arg });
			break;
		}
		
		case 2024:
		case 2025:
		case 2026:
		case 2027:
		{
			var extra_arg = Funcs.GetExtraArgForVersion(max_version);
			var autodesk_security_cookie = Funcs.GetAutodeskPermissionToExecuteScripts(max_version);
			
			Type t = typeof(Funcs);
			t.GetMethod("Execute").Invoke( null, new object[]{ script, extra_arg, autodesk_security_cookie });
			break;
		}
	
		default:
		{
			Funcs.Execute( "older max versions" );
			break;
		}
	}
	
}


static public class Funcs
{
	static public void Execute( string str )
	{
		Console.WriteLine( $"--> {str}");
	}
}

Thanks for your reply, but the “MaxscriptSDK” is an abstract class, Things are getting complicated. I’m trying to rewrite a derived class, But I failed.

t = dotNet.getType (dotNetClass "managedservices.maxscriptsdk")
method = t.getmethod "ExecuteMaxscriptCommand"
method.Invoke undefined #( "messageBox \"wow\"" )

Your method is feasible,But there are two parameters about “ExecuteMaxscriptCommand” in 3dsmax higher version(2022+). I can only write two styles by version judgment.

I doubt that it is possible to make a version agnostic method that would work for every future version, since you never know what args AD would want you to provide on invocation. Technically you can analyze which args are expected using reflection, but I’m not sure it can help much to create them without knowing the logic of their usage upfront.

Since it’s such a hassle, So can we find another way to run maxscript string in a c# method. in other words, We abandon the use of “ExecuteMaxscriptCommand” method.

if it is about execution of a script file then you could insert filein “/path_to/script.ms” into mini listener window and send enter key to execute it.

I need this functionality for encryption and decryption, If you expose the string, it’s meaningless

This encryption method has not been tried. Do you have any good tutorials to recommend.
