Is this what you are after?


rollout testA "test A"
(
button buttonA "button A"
)
rollout testB "test B"
(
button buttonB "button B"
)

testRollout = newRolloutFloater "Test Rollout" 200 120
addRollout testA testRollout
addRollout testB testRollout

cui.RegisterDialogBar testRollout

Sorry just realized my code posted funny, Here it is again:


rollout testA "test A"
(
button buttonA "button A"
)
rollout testB "test B"
(
button buttonB "button B"
)

testRollout = newRolloutFloater "Test Rollout" 200 120
addRollout testA testRollout
addRollout testB testRollout

cui.RegisterDialogBar testRollout

but maybe my explaination is not clear.
again:
open max >> make a box >> convert to mesh >> select it >> go to modify panel or use max command : max modify mode >> now many rollouts like "selection" "soft selection" "edit geometry" ... in the sub rollout retangle . >> expand some of them >> drag the modify panel left margin , drag left >> the modify panel expended .to 2 column >> drag again >> 3 column appeared >> and u see , the rollout can jump to next column automaticly if it is too long for the first column ....

i want make a rollout jump like this . if i have a big rollout floater . or registered it to max . then dock to left . i want when i drag it . it can expend like this. the scripts in the sub rollout can jump to next column automaticly . just like what the modify panel do .

thanks .

Nope, this was custom-designed for the Command panel in Max 4. I remember we were asked which feature we would prefer - merging Atmospheric effects or expanding the Command panel. Everybody voted for the latter, and the crowd reaction at the "magma technology preview" at Siggraph in New Orleans was fantastic :)

You COULD possibly fake the same effect using a resizeable dialog and sub-rollouts though, but there is no built-in feature in MAXScript to get it automatically.
