3DS MAX Measure function as toolbar

Hi there, I’m using the 3DS MAX Measure function quite a lot often as the floating dialog - but it always come in way, for some reason. So I have been wondering if any of you has met or are able to fast code the measure floating dialog - but as a toolbar, so that it can be docked in Max’s surrounding frames.

Bobo has the answer (as always):

Good Luck!

Cool, thanks a lot. But it would be great if it would be in the statusbar or as a loose toolbar that could be docked, - as Halloween is mentioning in the thread.

Ah, ok. If you can find some code which does something similar to the measure floater it seems it could easily wrapped in some dockable element as described here:

Quickly tried to wrap the naive floating measure window but I failed to get a handle of it.

Good Luck!
