Using .NET forms launched by scripted plugin

[CGGD]

function event_printStuff a b = print "stuff",

No, that doesn't fix it either. These event handlers don't need those arguments, but i've tried it anyway. No luck...

Your problem really confused me a lot for a about a week ...
And finally I find out what's wrong:

struct maxFormStruct
(
theForm,
theButton,

function fn_declare =
(
theForm = dotNetObject "MaxCustomControls.MaxForm"
theButton = dotNetObject "button"
),

--define and construct the form
function fn_init =
(
--button
theButton.Dock = theButton.Dock.fill
theButton.text = "Press me to print stuff"
--maxform
theForm.Size = dotNetObject "System.Drawing.Size" 400 200
theForm.Text = ".NET form"
theForm.controls.add theButton
),

function event_printStuff val1 val2 = (print "stuff"),

declare = fn_declare(),
init = fn_init(),
handler = dotNet.addEventHandler theButton "mouseClick" event_printStuff,
show = theForm.ShowModeless()
)
f1 = maxFormStruct() ----------****see this tiny thing here****----------
plugin material fileInShader
name:"fileInShader"
classID:#(0x7b6be4e2, 0x761ff1e6)--has to be unique, use genClassID() to generate an ID
extends:standard
replaceUI:true
version:1
(


rollout rollTest "Test if other dialogs with .NET controls work"
(
button btnLaunch "Launch dialog"

on btnLaunch pressed do f1--launch the .NET form
)
)
I think you just have one structure defined but not created any instance of the structure so your code did not work well .:P

Hi HuaMuLan,

thanks for the suggestion but it isn't exactly what I'm looking for.
I want to create the dialog from within the scripted material. This only works if the struct which contains the form also is located within the plugin code (afaik). The issue is not how to display the dialog, but how to get a .NET form working which has been launched from within a scripted material.

I dont know if this will help, but if u create an instance of the struc when you press the button inside of the form, it will open and display the form


struct maxFormStruct
(
theForm,
theButton,

function fn_declare =
(
theForm = dotNetObject "MaxCustomControls.MaxForm"
theButton = dotNetObject "button"
),

--define and construct the form
function fn_init =
(
--button
theButton.Dock = theButton.Dock.fill
theButton.text = "Press me to print stuff"
--maxform
theForm.Size = dotNetObject "System.Drawing.Size" 400 200
theForm.Text = ".NET form"
theForm.controls.add theButton
),

function event_printStuff val1 val2 = (print "stuff"),

declare = fn_declare(),
init = fn_init(),
handler = dotNet.addEventHandler theButton "mouseClick" event_printStuff,
show = theForm.ShowModeless()
)
--f1 = maxFormStruct() ----------****see this tiny thing here****----------
plugin material fileInShader
name:"fileInShader"
classID:#(0x7b6be4e2, 0x761ff1e6)--has to be unique, use genClassID() to generate an ID
extends:standard
replaceUI:true
version:1
(


rollout rollTest "Test if other dialogs with .NET controls work"
(
button btnLaunch "Launch dialog"

on btnLaunch pressed do (
f1 = maxFormStruct()
)
)
)


or did you mean to create the .net form inside the rollout as part of the scripted materia rather than a pop out dialog box?

EDIT: sorry the code opens the box, but doesnt do the event handlers, how very strange...
