Use callbacks in Attribute Editor templates

You can add callbacks to your custom Attribute Editor templates to do the following:

Create a custom attribute control.
Run scripts that affect the Attribute Editor layout and your scene.

Callbacks can be declared at the attribute level or the view level of an Attribute Editor template. Add callbacks to your template using the <description language="cb"> XML tag. See Parts of an Attribute Editor template.

Example of a callback named AEtankControlAnim declared at the attribute level:

<attribute name="details "type ="maya.bool">  
<description language="cb">AEtankControlAnim</description>  
<label>Details</label>  
</attribute>

Example of a callback named AEtankControlAnim declared at the view level:

<property name="rtCannonPan">
 <description language="cb">AEtankControlAnim</description>
</property>
