scrollLayout is undoable, queryable, and editable.
This command creates a scroll layout. A scroll layout is useful
for when you have a number of controls which cannot all be visible
at a time. This layout will display a horizontal and/or vertical
scroll bar when necessary to bring into view the hidden controls.
Since the scroll layout provides no real positioning of children you
should use another control layout as the immediate child.
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Argument types |
Properties |
|
-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.
|
|
-borderVisible(-bv)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Visibility of the border.
|
|
-childArray(-ca)
|
|
|
|
Returns a string array of the names of the layout's
immediate children.
|
|
-childResizable(-cr)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Set to true if you want the child of the control layout to be
as wide as the scroll area. You may also indicate a minimum
width for the child using the -mcw/minChildWidth flag.
|
|
-defineTemplate(-dt)
|
string
|
|
|
Puts the command in a mode where any other flags and arguments 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.
|
|
-docTag(-dtg)
|
string
|
|
|
Add a documentation flag to the control. The documentation flag
has a directory structure.
(e.g., -dt render/multiLister/createNode/material)
|
|
-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 CTRL and
SHIFT. Possible values are 0 == No modifiers, 1 == SHIFT, 2 == CTRL,
3 == CTRL + 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'")
|
|
-enable(-en)
|
boolean
|
|
|
The enable state of the control. By default, this flag is
set to true and the control is enabled. Specify false and the control
will appear dimmed or greyed-out indicating it is disabled.
|
|
-enableBackground(-ebg)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Enables the background color of the control.
|
|
-enableKeyboardFocus(-ekf)
|
boolean
|
|
|
If enabled, the user can navigate to the control with the tab key and select values with the keyboard or mouse.
This flag would typically be used to turn off focus support from controls that get it by default, like Edit and List controls.
If disabled, text in text fields can still be selected with the mouse but cannot be copied (except on Linux when "Middle Click Paste" is enabled).
|
|
-exists(-ex)
|
|
|
|
Returns whether the
specified object exists or not. Other flags are ignored.
|
|
-fullPathName(-fpn)
|
|
|
|
Return the full path name of the widget, which includes all the parents.
|
|
-height(-h)
|
int
|
|
|
The height of the control. The control will attempt to
be this size if it is not overruled by parent layout conditions.
|
|
-highlightColor(-hlc)
|
float float float
|
|
|
The highlight 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.
|
|
-horizontalScrollBarThickness(-hst)
|
int
|
|
|
Thickness of the horizontal scroll bar. Specify an
integer value of pixels greater than or equal to 0. Other
than setting the value to 0 to hide the scrollbar, this
flag has no effect on Windows systems.
|
|
-isObscured(-io)
|
|
|
|
Return whether the control can actually be seen by the user.
The control will be obscured if its state is invisible, if it is
blocked (entirely or partially) by some other control, if it or a
parent layout is unmanaged, or if the control's window is
invisible or iconified.
|
|
-manage(-m)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Manage state of the control. An unmanaged control is
not visible, nor does it take up any screen real estate. All
controls are created managed by default.
|
|
-minChildWidth(-mcw)
|
int
|
|
|
A positive non-zero integer value indicating the
minimum width the scroll layout's child. This flag only has
meaning when the -cr/childResizable flag is set to true.
|
|
-noBackground(-nbg)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Clear/reset the control's background.
Passing true means the background should not be drawn at all, false means the background should be drawn. The state of this flag is inherited by children of this control.
|
|
-numberOfChildren(-nch)
|
|
|
|
Returns in an int the number of immediate children of the layout.

-panEnabled(-pe)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Set to true if you want to pan the scroll layout using ALT + MMB.
On OSX, in one button and two button mode, you could use
command+alt+LMB to pan it. The pan effect is disabled by default.
|
|
-parent(-p)
|
string
|
|
|
The parent layout for this control.
|
|
-popupMenuArray(-pma)
|
|
|
|
Return the names of all the popup menus attached to this
control.
|
|
-preventOverride(-po)
|
boolean
|
|
|
If true, this flag prevents overriding the control's
attribute via the control's right mouse button menu.
|
|
-resizeCommand(-rc)
|
script
|
|
|
The command invoked when the scroll layout is resized.
|
|
-scrollAreaHeight(-sah)
|
|
|
|
Return the height of the scroll area (in pixels).
|
|
-scrollAreaValue(-sav)
|
|
|
|
Return the vertical and horizontal values of the scroll
area (in pixels).
|
|
-scrollAreaWidth(-saw)
|
|
|
|
Return the width of the scroll area (in pixels).
|
|
-scrollByPixel(-sbp)
|
string int
|
|
|
Scroll the client area in the direction of the string.
The int specifies the number of pixels.
|
|
-scrollPage(-sp)
|

Forces the command to use a command template other than
the current one.
|
|
-verticalScrollBarAlwaysVisible(-vsb)
|
boolean
|

|
Set to true if you want to always have the vertical scroll bar visible.
|
|
-verticalScrollBarThickness(-vst)
|
int
|
|

integer value of pixels greater than or equal to 0.
This flag has no effect on Windows systems.
|
|
-visible(-vis)
|
boolean

|
|
Command that gets executed when visible state of the control changes.
|
