pymel.core.uitypes.TextFieldGrp

class TextFieldGrp

class counterpart of mel function textFieldGrp

All of the group commands position their individual controls in columns starting at column 1. The layout of each control (ie. column) can be customized using the -cw/columnWidth, -co/columnOffset, -cat/columnAttach, -cal/columnAlign, and -adj/adjustableColumnflags. By default, columns are left aligned with no offset and are 100 pixels wide. Only one column in any group can be adjustable. This command creates a pre-packaged collection of label text and editable text field. The label text is optional.

adjustableColumn(val=True, **kwargs)

Specifies which column has an adjustable size that changes with the sizing of the layout. The column value is a 1-based index. You may also specify 0 to turn off the previous adjustable column.

dragCallback(val=True, **kwargs)

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’”)

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.textFieldGrp

dropCallback(val=True, **kwargs)

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’”)
