An Easter egg pop-up dialog for 3dsmax :slight_smile:

[code]# Handle Autodesk Customer Involvement Program dialog in workstation mode

Default setting is “Participate Anonymously”

self.AddPopupHandler( “.* Autodesk Customer Involvement Program.*”, “OK” )[/code]

To handle the following pop-up during 3dsmax workstation mode:

Can’t recall this being added to the wish list, but can I add a request to enhance the pop-up dialog handling code to support multiple auto-handlers which support text entry in multiple data fields, radio-button selection, etc.

Thanks,
Mike

PS - I lied. No Easter eggs here…

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the popup handler!

Can’t recall this being added to the wish list, but can I add a request to enhance the pop-up dialog handling code to support multiple auto-handlers which support text entry in multiple data fields, radio-button selection, etc.

		# For File Units Mismatch dialog
		self.AddPopupHandler( ".*File Load: Units Mismatch.*", "Adopt the File's Unit Scale?;OK" )

This selects the “Adopt the File’s Unit Scale?” option, then presses the “OK” button. As for text entry, this is not on the wishlist yet, but we can add it. It would probably require a more sophisticated setup though, as a semicolon separated list of options really won’t work with text entry. It would likely need a handler function, similar to the stdout handlers.

Cheers,

Thanks Ryan.
To continue using the original example above as to how I envisage it all working in the handler code:

Let’s say, in an ideal world, I would like to have the “Participate with Contact Information (Recommended)” radio button to be clicked, BUT I would also like to enter my own email address or email distro list in my case and also enter company details. Let’s add into the mixer that there might also be multiple check-boxes that I would like to control and of course, the usual “OK” button. Would also be really useful, if the above custom defined actions are also reported back via the render/progress logs so I know what has been pressed and data has been entered in case of mistake/debug mode.

Generally speaking, the number and sophistication of these pop-up dialogs seems to be on the increase and I think Deadline could help us out here after some additional dev. work :slight_smile:

Thanks,
Mike
