pymel.core.general.toolPropertyWindow¶

toolPropertyWindow(*args, **kwargs)¶

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. In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Flags:

Long Name / Short Name		Argument Types	Properties
field / fld		unicode
	Sets/returns the name of the text field used to store the tool name in the property sheet.
helpButton / hb		unicode
	Sets/returns the name of the button used to show help on the tool in the property sheet.
icon / icn		unicode
	Sets/returns the name of the static picture object (used to display the tool icon in the property sheet).
inMainWindow / imw		bool
	Specify true if you want the tool settings to appear in the main window rather than a separate window.
location / loc		unicode
	Sets/returns the location of the current tool property sheet, or an empty string if there is none.
noviceMode / nm		bool
	Sets/returns the ‘novice mode’ flag.(unused at the moment)
refresh / rf		bool
resetButton / rb		unicode
	Sets/returns the name of the button used to restore the tool settings in the property sheet.
restore / rs		bool
	Reopens the tool settings window. This flag can be used with the flag inMainWindowfor the fall back location if the tool settings can’t be restored.
selectCommand / sel		unicode
	Sets/returns the property sheet’s select command.
showCommand / shw		unicode
	Sets/returns the property sheet’s display command. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
