Go to: Synopsis. Return value. Flags. Python examples.
toolPropertyWindow([field=string], [helpButton=string], [icon=string], [inMainWindow=boolean], [location=string], [noviceMode=boolean], [resetButton=string], [selectCommand=string], [showCommand=string])
Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.
toolPropertyWindow is undoable, queryable, and editable.
End users should only call this command as 1. a query (in the
custom tool property sheet code) or 2. with no arguments
to create the default tool property sheet. The more complex
uses of it are internal.
None
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.
