How to open a dialog at runtime from a plugin?

[Anonymous]

I am developing a render plugin for the 3ds max. I create a dialog called PopupDialog and want to open it at run time, but I do not know how to do it. Is there anyone experienced this problem? Please, help me.

You could use the function CreateDialogParam().  Search through maxsdk\samples directory for examples of usage.

Also, if you have a ParamBlock2 and want to display it as a standalone dialog, have a look at CreateModalParamMap2() and CreateModelessParamMap2().
