Custom dialog from text file

This is done in Rollout Army Knife (http://www.wahooney.net/download.php?view.54), download it and check how I did it if you like.

Hi,

You can use Dynamic Rollout Creation ("RolloutCreator Functions" in MAXScript Reference).
This way is not easy in some cases but I think it's a good solution for your problem.

You can try :

-- Create dynamic rollout
rolloutFileLabels = rolloutCreator "rolloutDialog" "File Labels"
rolloutFileLabels.begin()

-- Open your file

NbLines = 20 -- Get number of lines in your file

for IdxLine = 1 to NbLines do
(
LabelName = "Label" + IdxLine as string
LabelText = "Label " + IdxLine as string -- Get current line text in your file
rolloutFileLabels.addControl #label LabelName LabelText
)

createDialog (rolloutFileLabels.end())
