C++ TreeView

[orion201324]

Hi everyone,

I'm using C++ to build a tool which should make use of a Tree View, and that allow users to drag and drop nodes into it. However, I only see examples in the documents of tools using MAXScript to create a Tree.

Currently, I can add a TreeView into the resource file using:

CONTROL "", IDC_MY_TREE "SysTreeView32", WS_BORDER | WS_HSCROLL | WS_TABSTOP, 50, 110, 60, 50

Which will make it appear in the UI. Unfortunately I don't know what parameter types to use to register this in a Parameter Block, or enable drag-and-drop.

Is this method possible? Or is there a better alternative for including hierarchical lists in the dialog.

Thanks

think you're out of luck, there's no parameter ui type to tie listview to parameterblock

Parameter UI Control Types

you'll have to write your own code to link it with/sync it with a TYPE_INODE_TAB

@klvnk that's a pity! Thanks for the help.

also I think you'll have difficulty dragging Nodes off the viewport or the scene explorer without max changing selection, not saying it's not possible but I don't think it's trivial/easy.... stuff like this is usual handle with a

PickModeCallback, PickNodeCallback  combo and or an HitByNameDlgCallback

There's also dotNet but... well.. actually this was the point, where I switched to C++ and QT..
