# ListView ActiveX Control Example

Note

ActiveX Controls have been deprecated by Microsoft in the latest versions of the Windows operating system in favor of the DotNet framework and its controls.

While MAXScript still supports ActiveX controls, these have to be installed and registered on the system to be accessible to MAXScript.

As a replacement of ActiveX controls, MAXScript supports DotNet controls in 3ds Max 9 and higher.

See the topic Converting ActiveX ListView Control to DotNet ListView Control for an example of switching existing ActiveX code to DotNet.

The following example will not work on your system unless it has a ListView ActiveX control installed.

SAMPLE SCRIPT
    rollout controlR92 "Microsoft ListView Control, version 6.0"
    (
    activeXControl ax "{BDD1F04B-858B-11D1-B16A-00C0F0283628}" height:200 width:300 align:#left
    --on ax Click do format "handler: Click\n" --on ax DblClick do format "handler: DblClick\n"
    on controlR92 open do
    (
    showProperties ax
    ax.MousePointer = #ccArrow
    ax.GridLines = true
    ax.AllowColumnReorder = true
    ax.BorderStyle = #ccFixedSingle
    ax.view = #lvwReport
    chs = ax.columnHeaders
    --showProperties chs --showMethods chs
    hTargets = chs.Add()
    hWeights = chs.Add()
    hTargets.text = "Node"
    hWeights.text = "Weights"
    lis = ax.listItems
    for i=0 to 10 do
    (
    local li
    li = lis.Add()
    li.text = "Item " + i as string
    )
    for li in ax.listItems do li.bold = true
    li = ax.HitTest 100 1500
    if li != undefined do
    (
    showProperties li
    li.text = "Just Hit Tested"
    showEvents controlR92.ax
    showMethods controlR92.ax
    )
    )
    )
    nr92 = newRolloutFloater "Microsoft ListView Control, version 6.0" 350 300 10 10
    addRollout ControlR92 nr92
