Hello everyone! This is my first thread!

I want to create a button that you can click it and then add a new button just like the Multi/Sub-Object material .
I don’t know how to make it.

Anyone could help me?

Thank you Budy.I'm trying your Script!
Now I have another means to achive my goal instead of using button and checkbox.
I find listbox is easier to deal with.Here’s the interface of my Lights Controls using listbox.

well, try this example

well, try this example script about use button with your case:
ex_HIDDEN_obj00.ms

usage :
run .ms
Select any object in max scene, the button will be appears as according to selection count.
This for hide/unhide object toggle.

So you can modify the script as you want to do.

basicly, you can create normal dialog with button first, then everything that code you can convert as string.

Thank you. Your method is

Thank you.
Your method is OK.
But if my goal is 10 buttons using your means, I have to create 10 buttons then make one visible and others invisible, which is also inconvenient.

For instance, I’ve got ten Omni lights with AO shader being applied to mr Light Shader and I’m gonna create a control panel to change the state, On or Off, of the mr Light Shader toggle at one location . I want to add ten labels to display the light’s name and ten checkboxes to change the state. I have to set each “on button pressed do” event.

The problem is if I’ve got 11 lights, I have to add a new label and button manually. If I have 12, I have to add another two…

Could I create a function that can automatically set the number of buttons correctly?
