[Closed] max2010 … how to disable visualstyle ?

1. right-click the icon you use to start 3ds Max
2. choose Properties…
3. go to the Compatibility tab
4. Enable/check the “Disable visual themes” option
   That should fix that up.

This is probably the wrong subforum to ask in, though… can’t disable it for the app with MaxScript itself.

Edit: styles -> themes

Looks this this would have been the ‘appropriate’ thread:

But it got hijacked and pointed to this thread… which is more about the graphite modeling tools ribbon than about the interface in general:

Thank Richard,

this work by disabling it before you start max but I really want to disable it on the form itself! Guest I’ll stick with 2009 until they fix this 🙁

best regard,
Martin

well, you could do it on the fly:

(dotnetclass "Application").VisualStyleState = (dotnetclass "Application").VisualStyleState.NoneEnabled

But, again, that affects the entire application.

If you want it per-control, you’d have to dig deep into:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms171733.aspx – Rendering Controls with Visual Styles

per control don’t seam to work, it still render with round corner but maybe I’m not using it right …

	try (NewForm1.close()) catch ()
	(
	dotNet.loadAssembly (getdir #maxroot +"\\MaxCustomControls.dll")

	Global NewForm1 = dotnetobject "maxcustomcontrols.maxform"
	local NewForm1_BT_1 = dotnetobject "system.windows.forms.button"

	local RenderClass = dotnetclass "System.Windows.Forms.ButtonRenderer"
	local PState = dotnetclass "System.Windows.Forms.VisualStyles.PushButtonState"
	
	local Resizing = false
	
	
	fn NewForm1_closed s e = 
		(
		NewForm1 = undefined
		(dotnetclass "system.gc").collect()
		gc()
		)
	
	fn NewForm1_BT_1_Paint s e =
		(
		if s.MouseButtons==s.MouseButtons.Left and not Resizing then 
			(
			RenderClass.DrawButton e.Graphics s.ClientRectangle s.text s.font false PState.Pressed
			)
		else
			(
			RenderClass.DrawButton e.Graphics s.ClientRectangle s.text s.font false PState.Normal
			)
		)

	NewForm1.text = "test"
	NewForm1.ShowIcon = true
	NewForm1.showintaskbar = false
	dotnet.addeventhandler NewForm1 "closed" NewForm1_closed
	dotnet.addeventhandler NewForm1 "ResizeBegin" (fn doit s e = Resizing = true)
	dotnet.addeventhandler NewForm1 "ResizeEnd" (fn doit s e = Resizing = false)
	NewForm1.controls.add NewForm1_BT_1
	
	NewForm1.ShowModeless()
	)

	

but at least we can disable it from maxscript witch is a suitable solution until we find something better
Thank again you’re really helpful:beer:
