Select an edittext via code to edit

[alexandre_bisewski]

Hi guys.

I have this edittext in my script and its working fine. But if it is "none" I show one message that cant be "none" and meanwhile I want to select this text like in the next image. 

So now is just type a diferent text...

Today I receive the message and I need to search where is this edittext....

Thank you

What you're attempting to do in this topic and this: min/max dialog size, is to enhance the functionality of the built-in rollout controls. However, these controls were already designed and developed without these features. Extending them would require a deep understanding of the Windows architecture, WinAPI, as well as skills in working with 3DS MAX and Windows SDK. Perhaps it would be easier for you to use Qt controls instead of enhancing the built-in rollout controls?

Another option would be to use .NET Forms

Hi Mr. Denis.

Thank you again for your attention.

Do you think that even with this limitations in MaxScript is possible to protect the code? Is possible to implement a license system? 

I know that we can encrypt the script but implement a method to run under a active license maybe with this limitations will be impossible...

I may not be the best person to seek help in this area. While I have experience in developing various methods for encrypting and models for distributing scripted tools and plugins, I am not a proponent of this approach.

I've shared my views on this matter in various forums before. In essence, I recommend focusing on your personal growth by releasing your tools as open-source projects, which will help you properly assess your level and enhance your skills. This can lead to better job opportunities and potentially generate more income than running an individual business based on developing and selling your tools.
