callback when max is ready/live

[Kreaction]

Hi,

Running max2018.2 I try to run a command that needs max live with UI loaded, basically when user can begin interact with max.

I have tried several callbacks, like postSystemStartup, and no one works. It can't change UI as it isn't fully loaded when the callback hit.

Does anyone know such a callback ?

Which one is the last one sent when max startup ?

Can you share what command you're trying to run and what is the problem you have with it?

I have to check some main menubar menus to delete some entries and recreate some qt menu into main menu.

Actually I use a .NET timer to make it run 6sec after script run, but this cause a delay, not optimal. So really need a callback MaxFinishedLoadingOkForUser

If you can identify if it already would work or not (properly or by catching an exception, doesn't matter), changing the timer to do a check on tick and running the task together with stopping the timer might be slightly better (in that there wouldn't be the delay), though not all that nice.

Good idea, will try that. Anyway a real ready callback is more than needed !!!

the situation is still not clear for me... do you want to change a built-in menus, your own, or anyone's else (third-party)?

do you say that at the moment you script (plugin) wants to change something it's not ready (not created, or not drawn, on not added to parent control) ?

a using timer is not solution i would use

[Kreaction]

Yes, the UI doesn't seems fully loaded or ready, and the script just does nothing.

This is indeed a bad solution, but no better one. In max 2014 all worked great just as startup script. Not anymore since max 2016

you didn't answer all my questions... i still don't know what you want to change.
