# MaxTextBox

This dotNetObject is implemented by the MaxCustomControls Assembly and provides a DotNet TextBox Control with the 3ds Max Look-And-Feel.

EXAMPLE
    theFrm = dotNetObject "MaxCustomControls.MaxForm"
    theBox = dotNetObject "MaxCustomControls.MaxTextBox"
    theBox.width = 290
    theBox.height = 270
    theBox.Multiline = true
    theBox.Text = "Hey Jude, don't make it bad!\r\nTake a sad song and make it better..."
    theBox.SelectionStart = 4
    theBox.SelectionLength = 4
    theFrm.controls.add theBox
    theFrm.topmost = true
    theFrm.text = "MaxTextBox"
    thePtr = DotNetObject "System.IntPtr" (windows.getMAXHWND())
    theHwnd = DotNetObject "MaxCustomControls.Win32HandleWrapper" thePtr
    theFrm.Show(theHwnd)

dotNetObject "MaxCustomControls.MaxTextBox"
