Hello everyone, my first time on the forum, and I got to say there is a lot of talent around here!
As I've just started learning MAXScript I was hoping you might tell me why I can't get my UI to work the way I want. The problem is that it works great until I use RegisterDialogBar. After that, all the buttons all seem to freeze up whenever i move or dock the menu.
Been searching around for an possible solution for a while now, so I would really appreciate it if any of you could help me out.
What I'm trying to do is essentially build a system that shows/hides subRollouts depending on what menu-buttons are active.

rollout Rollout_B "Rollout B"

button btn_2 "btn 2"
)
-- Rollout UV
