Access C# .DLL Control?

[denisT]

you have to add ThumbnailController to rollout (not mainform):

dotnetcontroller tib_control "marlie.TumbnailDotnet.ThumbnailController" pos:[0,0] width:651
height:542
and on rollout open event call AddFolder method:

on <rollout> open do (tib_control.AddFolder "PATH")

When I try to add the controller and not the mainform, I get an system exception...?



dotnet.loadassembly "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max
2011\marlie.TumbnailDotnet.dll"


rollout textureinfobrowser_rollout "TextureInfoBrowser"
width:651 height:542
(
--dotNetControl tib_control
"marlie.TumbnailDotnet.mainform" pos:[0,0] width:651 height:542

dotnetcontrol tib_control "marlie.TumbnailDotnet.ThumbnailController"
pos:[0,0] width:651 height:542


on textureinfobrowser_rollout open do

(
tib_control.show()
--setDialogpos
textureinfobrowser_rollout [0,0]
destroydialog
textureinfobrowser_rollout
--tib_control.m_Controller.AddFolder("C:\Users\a-malich\Desktop\Textures\\");
)
)
createdialog
textureinfobrowser_rollout style:#(#style_resizing, #style_titlebar,
#style_border, #style_sysmenu)



Edit:



privateThumbnailController m_Controller;

Would that be why? Should I make a public function to allow access to it, in the main form?


Edit:

So I tried doing




dotNetControl tib_control
"marlie.TumbnailDotnet.m_Controller" pos:[0,0] width:651 height:542


on textureinfobrowser_rollout open do

(
--tib_control.show()
--setDialogpos
textureinfobrowser_rollout [0,0]
destroydialog
textureinfobrowser_rollout
tib_control.AddFolder("C:\Users\a-malich\Desktop\Textures\\");
)


Which then said


---------------------------
MAXScript Rollout Handler
Exception
---------------------------
-- Unknown property: "AddFolder" in
dotNetControl:tib_control:(null)
---------------------------
OK

---------------------------

I tried something here a programmer recommended, which was to make a public function in the mainform.cs and it worked :)

I did,





public void mControllerFolder(string folderPath)

{


this.flowLayoutPanelMain.Controls.Clear();
m_Controller.AddFolder(folderPath);


this.buttonCancel.Enabled = true;


this.buttonBrowseFolder.Enabled = false;
}



Then in Max, I did



dotNetControl tib_control
"marlie.TumbnailDotnet.mainform" pos:[0,0] width:651 height:542


on textureinfobrowser_rollout open do

(
tib_control.show()
tib_control.mControllerFolder("C:\Users\a-malich\Desktop\Textures");
destroydialog
textureinfobrowser_rollout
)



Now I just need to find out if I can somehow take an array of image paths and put them into a folder for my code to read. I don't want to copy the images to a temp folder.

The code reads images from a folder right now, so that it can send the folder as a backroundworker I believe. I'm not sure if I could feed in an array of image paths instead? I guess its the same thing, but I'm not sure.






private void AddFolder(object folderPath)


{


string path = (string)folderPath;


if (this.OnStart != null)


{



this.OnStart(this, new ThumbnailControllerEventArgs(null));



}




this.AddFolderIntern(path);



if (this.OnEnd != null)



{


this.OnEnd(this, new ThumbnailControllerEventArgs(null));



}





CancelScanning = false;

}


private void AddFolderIntern(string folderPath)



{



if (CancelScanning) return;



// not using AllDirectories



string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(folderPath);


foreach(string file in files)

{


if (CancelScanning) break;


Image img = null;


try

{
img = Image.FromFile(file);

}

catch


{

// do nothing


}

if (img != null)

{
this.OnAdd(this, new ThumbnailControllerEventArgs(file));

img.Dispose();

}
}




Edit: Sorry for the horrible formatting... stupid copy/paste

Ok, so the same guy here wrote a couple functions quick for me to support a string array.

Then in my mainform I had to add




public void AddFiles(string[] files)


{


m_Controller.AddFiles(files);

}




So now in max I can just do,



tib_control.show()
local stringArray = #()
stringArray = #("C:\Users\a-malich\Desktop\Textures\1266801488.jpg","C:\Users\a-malich\Desktop\Textures\Carpet0020_2_S.jpg")
tib_control.Addfiles(stringArray)
