I switch to max 2020 and win10 and I can't move my script window

Description

Hi,
I made some scripts using Rolloutfloater like :
"
(...)
RF = newRolloutFloater "B" 130 620 580 80
addRollout RONE RF rolledUp:true
addRollout RTWO RF rolledUp:true
addRollout RTHREE RF rolledUp:true
addRollout RFIVE RF rolledUp:true
addRollout RSIX RF rolledUp:true
addRollout RSEVEN RF rolledUp:true
addRollout RFOUR RF rolledUp:false
"
I switched to max 2020 and win10.
All scripts work fine, I can open rollouts and use tools, but I can't move the whole window...
A little square appear at the place of the name when I try....

Any idea ? Thanks.

HI, Miauu, I saw that in regedit u can change some KEYS setting to bring closer the caption buttons. I tried but it doesn't affect rollout Windows buttons enough and can create display problem elsewhere.

Why this don't work ?

RF = newRolloutFloater "T" 130 1320 420 250 style: #()

why should it work?
style is the optional parameter for dialogs

In maxscript doc it is written that you can add option to rollout with style:#(#...)
I can't see anywhere how to remove minimize and maximize buttons on the script window
I thought that giving an empty Style array it wouldn't create these buttons.

Thanks Jahman, but you talking to the wrong person: I never studied at MIT :-)

neither I'am
but it will come with practice
unfortunately, but many things in maxscript aren't possible without diving deep into winapi and that type of things

HI,
I switch to max2020 and win10 from several days now and I saw that not just my scripts have a problem. It is win10 in general. So I will search for a more general solution.
Ouf , my honour is safe !

I don't have Win10 but is it possible to change the size of the titlebars of the windows(Windows Explorer etc.). I don't know if this will affect the rollouts in 3ds max. I remember that in win8.1(which I use) there is a registry hack to make the borders of the windows thinner.

From what I see the problem is that there is no titlebar inbetween the icon in the left and the min, restore, max buttons on the right, so there is no place where you to place the mouse cursor and to move the window.

1. Make the main rollout wider(the min, restore, max buttons will goes to the right and there will be free space in the titlebar between those buttons and the icon in the left).

2. Remove the min, restore, max buttons from the main rollout if you not need them.

3. Try this: RMB+Click on the icons on the right and you have to see a menu with some options(Move among them).

Hi, thanks for answer Miauu :-)
I made the rollout wider, so I see what win10 add to the bar....
I try to make solution 2, but as always I failed.
I imagine it is with "style:" but howerver I write it change nothing. :-(
