[Closed] Scripted camera plugin, custom pan zoom dolly

I want to write my custom methods for pan and zoom viewport which uses my camera.
Is there any way to get control over gui camera controls (dolly camera, truck camera etc).
Similar question was posted here, but without satisfying me solution.

I guess I should create scripted camera plug-in. Unfortunately maxscript help very briefly describes camera plug ins, and suggest there is no association with viewport control buttons.

I also thought of create mouse tool for camera panning, but in this case user will be forced use other button than usually for standard cameras.

If you’re looking for in-view panning check the script I wrote on this page…

Yes, I want implement similar functionality, but the problem is user interface. I wont to have extra dialogue floating around.
I need to provide easy panning and zooming while modelling etc. Best solution would be if i get my hands on standard view port/camera panning inerface.

I don’t know how to get mouse scroll notification too.

I think you might struggle to do what you’re looking to do with maxscript at least,
