[solved] Maxscript to close OctaneRender Viewport ?

[wildpeaks]

This can open it:

Code: Select all

actionMan.executeAction 982383860 "2642"

but haven't been able to guess a way to close it programmatically (and I've been searching in actions, properties, interfaces and globals, just can't guess it).

I'm writing a tool to bake textures and was able to automate everything else, except this one step

Nevermind, I managed to force it to close using UIAccessor

Code: Select all

fn closeOctaneViewport = (
	local hwnd = dialogMonitorOps.GetWindowHandle()
	local children = UIAccessor.GetChildWindows hwnd
	for child in children do (
		local windowTitle = (UIAccessor.GetWindowText child)
		if matchPattern windowTitle pattern:"OctaneRender Viewport *" ignoreCase:false do (
			UIAccessor.CloseDialog child
			exit
		)
	)
)

Cool. will you show us your bake tool ?

Now I feel silly: despite searching the forums quite a few times, I seem to have missed a post that had an even simpler solution

Code: Select all

OctaneMaxFPI.ViewportSetWindowState(0)

As for showing the tool, it's just an internal tool so I'd have to clean it up first, but sure I'll eventually post it.
