The following example creates an Internet Explorer browser control in a rollout and registers it as extended viewport.
Pick "Web Page" from the Extended Views menu to display the rollout in the webpage. Also click various hypertext links to see the text change in the viewports
rollout rWebpage "Web page"
(
local txtObj
local vpsz = getViewSize()
activeXControl ax "http://www.yahoo.com" height:(vpsz.y-50) width:(vpsz.x-50) align:#center
fn checkTextObject =
(
if $text01 == undefined then
(
txtObj = text text:"" name:"text01"
addModifier txtObj (extrude amount:10)
txtObj.wirecolor = red
)
else ( txtObj = $text01 )
)
on rWebpage open do ( checkTextObject() )
on ax TitleChange txt do
(
checkTextObject()
if not (matchPattern txt pattern:"http:") then
(
if txtObj.text != text then
(
print txt
txtObj.text = txt
max tool zoomextents all
)
)
)
)
fWebPage = newRolloutFloater "Web page" rWebpage.vpsz.x rWebpage.vpsz.y
addRollout rWebPage fWebPage
registerViewWindow fWebPage
showProperties rWebpage.ax
WARNING:
Due to a recent change in ActiveX controls handling by Microsoft, URLs are ALWAYS expected to start with "http://". Thus, using just "www.yahoo.com" will work in 3ds Max 5 but not in 3ds Max 6 and 7!
