RollUp custom color in 2017

[Anonymous]

is there a way to modify the rollup color as it was in previous versions. Maybe a script ... the documentation COLORMAN there but I do not write the script. In the previous version it has seemed clearly arranged navigation. or just title text color.?

or u have (parent's OnPaint method)

CPaintDC dc(this); // device context for painting
 CRect rc;

 CWnd * pW = this->GetDlgItem(IDC_GROUPBOX);
 pW->GetClientRect(&rc);
 pW->ClientToScreen(&rc);
 this->ScreenToClient(&rc);

 dc.FillSolidRect(&rc,RGB(255,0,0));

or on N_WM_CTLCOLOR  method

if( pWnd->GetDlgCtrlID () == ???)

{

return hBGBrush;

}//optional

HBRUSH CTestprogrammDlg::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor)

{

// Brush für den Dialog Hintergrund anlegen

HBRUSH hBGBrush = CreateSolidBrush(RGB(128, 184, 223));

// Brush für Dialog Hintergrund zurück geben

return hBGBrush;

}

but how can i implement in 3ds? EXE!? I don't anything about programing/scripting!

[sehindel_19]

i assumed u were a programmer since this is the programming forum for 3d max, but my bad then 😞

then i guess i cant help you. best of luck to u i hope u find what u seek

[ulrich.haberl]

I'm sorry, but it's not possible in 3dsMax 2017 any more. The painting code of the rollup titles has internally been moved to Qt, and the new design does not use some of the previous customization options any more.

I know that there were some discussions with our UI designers about that, since the rollup now is more some plain area, the title itself has no border any more, what makes it kind of hard to decide where a different background should end - but it would be doable, of course.

If you want that possibility back, please add a feature request here https://knowledge.autodesk.com/contact-support/technical-support or via ADN.

i already informed AD several times, that the programming board is flooded with ricochets..

I suggested them to rename the board to "C++, Phyton, MXS programming" instead of naming it "3ds Max.."

It's the only board using "3ds max" in its topic name, when displayed on mobile devices..
