MAXScript Qt UI

[Swordslayer]

In the end, using Qt from MAXScript was more straightforward than I thought, kudos to @denisT.MaxDoctor for setting me on the right track with the QtUiLoader. Here's an edited sample from the max python sample scripts:

(
	local QFile = (python.import "PySide2.QtCore").QFile
	local QUiLoader = (python.import "PySide2.QtUiTools").QUiLoader
	local GetQMaxMainWindow = (python.import "qtmax").GetQMaxMainWindow

	local ui_file = QFile "QtTest.ui"
	ui_file.open QFile.ReadOnly
	local ui = (QUiLoader()).load ui_file (GetQMaxMainWindow())
	ui_file.close()

	fn hello = messageBox "Hello world!"

	ui.pushButton.clicked.connect hello
	ui.toolButton.clicked.connect getSaveFileName
	ui.show()
)

Put it in the same folder as the .ui file from the attached zip and run the ms file. The two buttons are connected to maxscript functions, I guess you get the idea. Have fun 🙂

In my experience, some "nested" topics (questions) are very easy to get lost, and it is often more difficult to find a similar but more specific question / answers in a generically named topic ("Using MXS with Python", "Qt UI", "Script Controllers", etc.).

(also the tag "solved" can be received only by the question of the author of the topic and is determined by the author)
