Use MaxScript to Hit Enter

[denisT]

I am trying to automate the use of a third party utility in Max. I need a way to fake pressing the enter key when a simple dialog box comes up. The focus is already set to the confirm button on the dialog, I just need to hit enter. Is there any way to do this?

here is how to confirm "Reset UVs" for UVW Unwrap modifier.

Just modify the code a bit (change dialog title and default button text)...

Thanks DenisT. That got me closer, but still no cigar. It turns out that the dialog box that I am trying to get rid of is actually a querybox. Using UIAccessor.GetPopupDialogs() does not seem to return a handles for queryboxes.

what does UIAccessor.GetPopupDialogs has to do with it? A query box is a window as any other.
In MXS help there's a good sample of using
DialogMonitorOPS. It catches any opened window. Does it catch the yours one?

I think the problem might lie with the fact that the querybox window is modal and from what I've seen maxscript code does not run when a modal window is open, but rather pauses script execution until the user closes the window.

my sample code shows how to press button exactly of a modal dialog.

That's what I get for talking before checking. :blush:

You are right DenisT. I didn't see the big picture right away. Got it to work now by using code analogous to yours.

Thanks!
