Hi,
Is there a way to know if a trackview filter is ckecked or no ?
I know how to check, how to uncheck... but can't manage to know its state.
Thanks.

Thanks jahman. But DotNet is

Thanks jahman. But DotNet is not for me...
I'm already a bungler in maxscript...

In this particular case there's no difference between using mxs or c# actually.
see for yourself

local getFilterState = (dotNetClass "Autodesk.Max.GlobalInterface").Instance.coreinterface7.TestTrackViewFilter
 
local tv_name = trackView.getTrackViewName 1 -- note, there may be more than one
local FILTER_SELOBJECTS = 2^0
local which = 0 -- for this particular filter, starting from FILTER_GEOM and further you will have to use 1
format "FILTER_SELOBJECTS is enabled:%\n" ((getFilterState tv_name FILTER_SELOBJECTS which) == 1)

oookey. Thanks. I'll try to

oookey. Thanks. I'll try to incorporate these things in my brain and in my script.
I'm a bit busy now, but i'll soon whimper again here :-)

check SDK reference for this function: TestTrackViewFilter
you can access it using c# sdk like this

(dotNetClass "Autodesk.Max.GlobalInterface").Instance.CoreInterface7.TestTrackViewFilter

It returns 0 or 1 according to current filter state
