shelfButton is undoable, queryable, and editable.
This control supports up to 3 icon images and 4 different display
styles. The icon image displayed is the one that best fits the
current size of the control given its current style.
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.
Long name (short name) |
Argument types |
Properties |
|
align(al)
|
string
|
|
|
The label alignment. Alignment values are "left",
"right", and "center". By default, the label is aligned "center".
Currently only available when -st/style is set to "iconAndTextCentered".
|
|
annotation(ann)
|
string
|
|
|
Annotate the control with an extra string value.
|
|
backgroundColor(bgc)
|
[float, float, float]
|
|
|
The background color of the control. The arguments correspond
to the red, green, and blue color components. Each component ranges
in value from 0.0 to 1.0.
When setting backgroundColor, the background is automatically
enabled, unless enableBackground is also specified with a false
value.
|
|
command(c)
|
script
|
|
|
Command executed when the control is pressed.
|
|
commandRepeatable(rpt)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Set if the MEL command specified in the command flag should be repeatable
or not. The "g" key, by default, is the shortcut to repeat the last executed command.
|
|
defineTemplate(dt)
|
string
|
|
|
Puts the command in a mode where any other flags and args are
parsed and added to the command template specified in the argument.
They will be used as default arguments in any subsequent
invocations of the command when templateName is set as the
current template.
|
|
disabledImage(di)
|
string
|
|
|
Image used when the button is disabled. Image size must
be the same as the image specified with the i/image flag.
This is a Windows only flag.
|
|
docTag(dtg)
|
string
|
|
|
Add a documentation flag to the control. The documentation flag
has a directory structure like hierarchy.
Eg. -dt render/multiLister/createNode/material
|
|
doubleClickCommand(dcc)
|
script
|
|
|
Command executed when the control is double clicked.
|
|
dragCallback(dgc)
|
script
|
|
|
Adds a callback that is called when the middle mouse button
is pressed. The MEL version of the callback is of the form:
global proc string[] callbackName(string $dragControl, int $x, int $y, int $mods)
The proc returns a string array that is transferred to the drop site.
By convention the first string in the array describes the user settable
message type. Controls that are application defined drag sources may
ignore the callback. $mods allows testing for the key modifiers CTL and
SHIFT. Possible values are 0 == No modifiers, 1 == SHIFT, 2 == CTL,
3 == CTL + SHIFT.
In Python, it is similar, but there are two ways to specify the callback. The
recommended way is to pass a Python function object as the argument. In that
case, the Python callback should have the form:
def callbackName( dragControl, x, y, modifiers ):
The values of these arguments are the same as those for the MEL version above.
The other way to specify the callback in Python is to specify a string to be
executed. In that case, the string will have the values substituted into it
via the standard Python format operator. The format values are passed in a
dictionary with the keys "dragControl", "x", "y", "modifiers". The
"dragControl" value is a string and the other values are integers (eg the
callback string could be "print '%(dragControl)s %(x)d %(y)d %(modifiers)d'")
|
|
dropCallback(dpc)
|
script
|
|
|
Adds a callback that is called when a drag and drop
operation is released above the drop site. The MEL version of the callback is
of the form:
global proc callbackName(string $dragControl, string $dropControl, string $msgs[], int $x, int $y, int $type)
The proc receives a string array that is transferred from the drag source.
The first string in the msgs array describes the user defined message type.
Controls that are application defined drop sites may ignore the
callback. $type can have values of 1 == Move, 2 == Copy, 3 == Link.
In Python, it is similar, but there are two ways to specify the callback. The
recommended way is to pass a Python function object as the argument. In that
case, the Python callback should have the form:
def pythonDropTest( dragControl, dropControl, messages, x, y, dragType ):
The values of these arguments are the same as those for the MEL version above.
The other way to specify the callback in Python is to specify a string to be
executed. In that case, the string will have the values substituted into it
via the standard Python format operator. The format values are passed in a
dictionary with the keys "dragControl", "dropControl", "messages", "x", "y",
"type". The "dragControl" value is a string and the other values are integers
(eg the callback string could be
"print '%(dragControl)s %(dropControl)s %(messages)r %(x)d %(y)d %(type)d'")
