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.

Provides a way to refresh ActiveX Controls.

    UpdateWindow <activexcontrol>

You can call this method on an ActiveX control to force a refresh.
