You need to specify render region in CurRendererRenderFrame, here's the excerpt from SDK help:

virtual int Interface::CurRendererRenderFrame	(	TimeValue	t,
		Bitmap *	bm,
		RendProgressCallback *	prog = `NULL`,
		float	frameDur = `1.0f`,
		ViewParams *	vp = `NULL`,
		RECT *	regionRect = `NULL`
	)	`[pure virtual]`

Remarks:: This method is called to render a frame to the given bitmap. The renderer uses the width, height, and aspect ratio of the specified bitmap to control the size of the rendered image.

Parameters:: TimeValue t

The time to render the image.

Bitmap *bm

The bitmap to render to. This bitmap defines the size and aspect ratio of the render. See Class Bitmap.

RendProgressCallback *prog=NULL

The RendProgressCallback is an optional callback. See Class RendProgressCallback.

float frameDur = 1.0f

This parameter should always be set to 1.0.

ViewParams *vp=NULL

This parameter allows you to specify a different view transformation on each render call. For instance, you can render a given scene at a given time from many different viewpoints, without calling Render::Open() for each one.

RECT *regionRect = NULL

This value, if passed, defines the region to be rendererd. This only works for RENDTYPE_REGION and RENDTYPE_REGIONCROP.

Returns:: The result of the render - Nonzero if success; otherwise 0.

This MaxScript can convert to max.net code

It would be a lot more complicated with SDK (need to push a new command mode and implement the mouse callbacks). If you can just execute that maxscript code using ExecuteScript(...)
