GetICustStatusEdit returning NULL value

Anonymous — Fri, 03 Dec 2021 10:14:48 GMT

Hi,

I am using 3ds max 2018 sdk.

I have created a custom control edit and used its class as "CustStatusEdit".

I am writing the following

HWND editName = GetDlgItem(hwndDlg, IDC_DISPLAY_DENSITY);

ICustStatusEdit *myedit1 = GetICustStatusEdit(editName );

myedit1 is getting NULL value.

Below are the properties. Do I need to change some of these properties to make it work?

Please help.

yeah returns null in 2010 & 2020 too, looks broken. (also there doesn't seem to be any usage in the sdk)

Looking into the source code, it simply returns NULL. It existed only for the old "Design-Version" of Max.

btw: I never ever missed this control, what's your reason for?

I want to make custom control edit box as read only. So, I used it.

and a simple static text or standard windows edit control does not work?
