Custom load dialog using IndirectUI?

[Ego Eram Reputo]

I'm not sure how to create a custom load dialog using indirectUI.

 

Anyone got any pointers or code snippets?

A load dialog? As in a dialog to select and open a file?

I'm opening a 3D model. I'd like to be able to scale and rotate it before committing it to the canvas.

 

Something like the *.ico dialog which appears after you select a file.

You would have to create a custom dialog in Windows Forms.

Note that according to this thread showing a load dialog in a FileType plugin is not officially supported.

Cancelling a load operation isn't supported because showing UI for loading a file isn't supported. What you're doing is by definition a hack, so asking why it doesn't work very well is kind of silly.

^ Thank you.

 

Perhaps I'm better to make this a regular plugin and forgo the filetype. Shame, I had it loading files nicely. Making it a regular Effect would solve a number of issues for me though.
