ToolbarControl Object

Derived from: Base Object
Defined in namespace "adsk::core" and the header file is <Core/UserInterface/ToolbarControl.h>

Description

The base class for all toolbar controls.

Methods

Name Description
classType Static function that all classes support that returns the type of the class as a string. The returned string matches the string returned by the objectType property. For example if you have a reference to an object and you want to check if it's a SketchLine you can use myObject.objectType == fusion.SketchLine.classType().
deleteMe Deletes the ToolbarControl

Properties

Name Description
id Gets the unique ID of this control. The ID is unique with respect to the other controls within the same panel, toolbar, or drop-down control.
index Gets the position of this control within the list of controls within the panel, toolbar, or drop-down control.
isValid Indicates if this object is still valid, i.e. hasn't been deleted or some other action done to invalidate the reference.
isVisible Gets or sets if this control is currently visible.
objectType This property is supported by all objects in the API and returns a string that contains the full name (namespace::objecttype) describing the type of the object.

It's often useful to use this in combination with the classType method to see if an object is a certain type. For example: if obj.objectType == adsk.core.Point3D.classType():
parent Gets the Parent object. When associated with a toolbar (right or left QAT or the NavBar) this returns the parent Toolbar object. When associated with a panel it returns the parent ToolbarPanel object. When associated with a control (DropDownControl) it returns the parent control.
