Omg this is really a psycho UI. Gotta add this into my April fools sabotage script
That last one is pretty cool Paul,
you can add a function that checks wich user is working with it
and if this user is on your black list you can turn the psycho function on.
now here is something I was working on before I found this thread…

I couldn’t resist and wrote a DotNet version real quick. It seems to mess up garbage collection once in a while but I’m too lazy to figure out why right now
Martijn
I’ve been meaning to get back to this for a while now
I've finally re-written the c# control to sit inside a max rollout
you can grab the .dll from my site
[ http://www.designimage.co.uk/Max/files/MouseControl/windowsControl.dll ]( http://www.designimage.co.uk/Max/files/MouseControl/windowsControl.dll)
put the dll in your scripts directory
The sample code shows various methods to use the control.
Set the control size as you would normally using the width and height properties
Use the SetRange function to set the range of values you want the control to output.
double click the control to zero (function controlled by the maxscript)
right click to cancel. (function built into the dot net control)
note that when you do right click to cancel the control sends out another PosEvent with the original postion.
assemblyFileName = ((getdir #scripts) as string + "/WindowsControl.dll")
dotnet.LoadAssembly assemblyFileName
rollout TestRoll "test"
(
dotNetControl dnMouseWindow "WindowsControl.MouseWindow" width:200 height:200 align:#left
local oldpos = [0,0]
on dnMouseWindow PosEvent a b do format "pos: %, %
" b.x b.y
on dnMousewindow DoubleClick do dnMousewindow.SetPos 0 0
on dnMousewindow mouseDown do
(
oldPos.x = (dnMousewindow.getPos()).x
oldpos.y = (dnMousewindow.getPos()).y
)
on TestRoll open do
(
dnMousewindow.SetRange -100 -100 100 100 -- bottom left x y topright x y : default 0,0 1,1
--top right will always have higher values than bottom left
--If values are the wrong way round the SetRange function swaps them rather than throwing and error.
dnMousewindow.SetPos 0 0 -- set the cross position after setting the range values.
-- if SetPos is out of range the value is clamped.
)

I haven’t tried yet but why are you running it out of the script directory instead of plugins?
Nice work, do we have drawing options for the target and back ground?
the background inherits from System.Windows.Forms.Usercontrol which has a whole bunch of properties to play with… ie.
.BackgroundImage : <System.Drawing.Image>
.BackColor : <System.Drawing.Color>
the target is just a text label … System.Windows.Forms.Label.
currently its a private object so there’s no access from Maxscript
I could make the target public… but it would then be possible to break the control…
or I could make a bunch of get and set functions for the properties you need…
what would be useful?
What I’d really like to do is link the mouseWindow x y position properties directly to two controllers .
In the same way you use the controller property of a spinner.
… though i doubt it possible in c# …
The .dll can go anywhere. I guess I felt that the plugins directory should be reserved for actual max plugins rather than dotnet controls.
nice one ken, I’d been thinking about this for a while too, and Had come up with this stumbling block also. I think this could be done with a timechange callback. You can link this to update the properties of a dotnet object. I have managed to do this with a dotnet custom slider object i have written.
what id like to do is make a composite slider object for a morpher that adds min/max buttons in dotnet. but i cant get the trackbar scroll event in the control to be exposed to the base usercontrol scroll event. Any thoughts?
I didn’t get it to work from the plugins folder either. I didn’t load the dll as it is not a max dll.
Could we have an image maybe for the target or at least a selection of different choices. With the one that I use now I have a circle with target lines.
I’ve made some changes to allow for customization
Theres a zip file on my site with all the new files including the C# source “UserControl1.cs”
I’ve added some new functions to edit the target labels properties.
.SetTargetImage <filePath> – returns true if successful
.SetTargetSize x y
.SetTargetBackgroundColor a r g b
.SetTargetBackgroundColor r g b
There’s also a new property .TargetCenter a “system.drawing.point”. It’s automatically set to half the label size, when you set a new target image or size.
Note that because the default target label displays a ‘+’ sign the default TargetCenter is actually slightly below center (15,14) because of the font.
I’ve also made the target label a public object so you access it properties directly if you wish.
The new test code shows some of these methods
rollout TestRoll "test"

local scriptDir = ((getdir #scripts) as string)
local test = dotnet.LoadAssembly (scriptDir + "/CsharpClasses/WindowsControl.dll")
