"file to export dlg" how to execute

[Anonymous]

Hi.

I'm a new one in the Max SDK and I have probably a silly question.
I need to open "file to export dlg" but not from file->export,
I have done plug-in in Utility, i place there a button and i want to click the button so the export dlg will appear.

All in all, I'm a student and I'm writing a plug-in that should exporting scene to VIRTOOLS extension, and additional generating render to texture of scene objects. I'm stuck at the executing the "file to export dlg" could anyone help me?

I would be THANKFUL.

I'm from Poland, and there is nobody to ask.

Thanks for help.



p.s. Isn't it easier to do in MAXscript?
Whole cse is that I need to export scene to VIRTOOLS and take 20 renders of an object, renders are different because one of light, it's power is changing in logarithmic way in 20 steps. I hope someone understand what i'm talking about 😛

You can do actual export using GetCOREInterface()->ExportToFile(...)

virtual BOOL Interface::ExportToFile ( const MCHAR * name,
BOOL suppressPrompts = FALSE,
DWORD options = 0,
Class_ID * exporterID = NULL
)

This method simply brings up the 'Select File to Export' dialog just as if the user picked this option from the File / Export... pulldown menu.

Cheers
