change group box attributes

Submitted by othoap on Thu, 2011-05-12 08:29

Would it be possible to change the "group box" attributes? It'd be nice if the objects coordinates that you place in the box were relative to the box and not the rollout.

In other words could the maxscript groupbox be like a folder. Whatever you place into the box it moves with it.

my guess it's not possible with out big maxscript changes.

Hey, here you go. There is no dynamic way of doing it really.

But keeping it simple you can do it with a few variables.

(
	-- Groupbox Folder (only change these values)
	Gp1W = 10
	Gp1H = 10
 
	Gp2W = 10
	Gp2H = 80
 
	rollout rlGp "Groupbox"
	(
		groupbox gp "Group1" width:100 height:50 pos:[Gp1W,Gp1H]
		button btnButton1 "Button" width:60 height:20 pos:[(Gp1W+9),(Gp1H+20)]
 
		groupbox gp2 "Group2" width:100 height:50 pos:[Gp2W,Gp2H]
		button btnButton2 "Button" width:60 height:20 pos:[(Gp2W+9),(Gp2H+20)]
	)
	createDialog rlGp
)
