In reading the documentation, it says that Max doesn't put a macroScript onto the tool bar or menu by default.
Is there a way to do this without having to go into the customize ui dialog?
can it be done by compiling it as a dll/dle?

You can't compile a script and it still wouldn't add it by default to a UI for you. Where would it put it??

You can script the addition of a macro to a menu, button bar or quad so that it load and adds it when Max starts. I do that in producitons to keep up the tools up to date on the systems.

Can you give me a nudge on how to do that?

When I do macroScript TestDialog
ButtonText:"Test Dialog..."
category:"Render"
toolTip:"Test Dialog Toggle"
it will only show up in the Customize UI.
What would the script look like so that it shows up when Max is restarted?

Thanks.

In the help look up Menu Manager and Menu and CUI Loading, that should get you started.
