pymel.core.windows.scriptTable

static windows.scriptTable(*args, **kwargs)

This command creates/edits/queries the script table control.

Maya Bug Fix:
  • fixed getCellCmd to work with python functions, previously only worked with mel callbacks

    IMPORTANT: you cannot use the print statement within the getCellCmd callback function or your values will not be returned to the table

Flags:
Long name (short name) Argument Types Properties
annotation (ann) unicode ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
Annotate the control with an extra string value.
backgroundColor (bgc) float, float, float ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 

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.

cellChangedCmd (ccc) script ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 

Sets the script to call when somebody has changed the value of a cell. The procedure is called with 2 integer arguments specifying the row and column for which the value was changed. The 3rd argument is the string which was entered into that cell. The procedure should return an integer value which indicates whether that value should be accepted (return true if yes, and false if no). The row and column numbers passed in are 1-based (ie. (1,1) is the upper left cell). The procedure should be of the form: global proc int procedureName(int $row, int $column, string $value)

clearRow (cr) int ../../../_images/edit.gif
 

Clear the contents for all the cells on the specified row. Any procedure specified by the -gcc flag will be called to populate the cleared cells The row number is 1-based (ie. the first row is 1 not 0).

clearTable (ct) bool ../../../_images/edit.gif
 

Clears the contents of all the cells in the table. Any procedure specified by the -gcc flag will be called to populate the cleared cells Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

columnWidth (cw) int, int ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
Set the width of the specified column The column number is 1-based (ie. the first column is 1 not 0).
columns (c) int ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
Set the number of columns in the table
defineTemplate (dt) unicode ../../../_images/create.gif
 

Puts a command in a mode where any other flags and args 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.

deleteRow (dr) int ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
Delete the specified row The row number is 1-based (ie. the first row is 1 not 0).
docTag (dtg) unicode ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
Add a documentation flag to the control. The documentation flag has a directory structure like hierarchy. Eg. -dt render/multiLister/createNode/material
dragCallback (dgc) script ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 

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 dragControlvalue 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 ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 

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 dragControlvalue 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) bool ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 

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) bool ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
Enables the background color of the control.
exists (ex) bool ../../../_images/create.gif
 
Returns true|false depending upon whether the specified object exists. Other flags are ignored.
fullPathName (fpn) unicode ../../../_images/query.gif
 
Return the full path name of the widget, which includes all the parents
getCellCmd (gcc) script ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 

Sets the script to call when it requires the contents of a cell. The procedure is called with 2 integer arguments specifying the row and column for which the value is required. The procedure should return a string which is the value for the cell. The row and column numbers passed in are 1-based (ie. (1,1) is the upper left cell). The procedure should be of the form: global proc string procedureName(int $row, int $column)

height (h) int ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
The height of the control. The control will attempt to be this size if it is not overruled by parent layout conditions.
insertRow (ir) int ../../../_images/edit.gif
 

Insert an empty row before the specified row. Any procedure specified by the -gcc flag will be called to populate the new new cells. The row number is 1-based (ie. the first row is 1 not 0).

isObscured (io) bool ../../../_images/query.gif
 

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.

label (l) int, unicode ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
Set the label of the specified column. The column number is 1-based (ie. the first column is 1 not 0).
manage (m) bool ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
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.

Force the command to use a command template other than the current one.
visible (vis) bool ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 

The visible state of the control. A control is created visible by default. Note that a control’s actual appearance is also dependent on the visible state of its parent layout(s).

visibleChangeCommand (vcc) script ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
Command that gets executed when visible state of the control changes.
width (w) int ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.scriptTable

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

window = pm.window(widthHeight=(400, 300))
form = pm.formLayout()
table = pm.scriptTable(rows=4, columns=2, label=[(1,"Column 1"), (2,"Column 2")])

addButton = pm.button(label="Add Row",command="pm.scriptTable(table, edit=True,insertRow=1)")
deleteButton = pm.button(label="Delete Row",command="pm.scriptTable(table, edit=True,deleteRow=1)")

pm.formLayout(form, edit=True, attachForm=[(table, 'top', 0), (table, 'left', 0), (table, 'right', 0), (addButton, 'left', 0), (addButton, 'bottom', 0), (deleteButton, 'bottom', 0), (deleteButton, 'right', 0)], attachControl=(table, 'bottom', 0, addButton), attachNone=[(addButton, 'top'),(deleteButton, 'top')],  attachPosition=[(addButton, 'right', 0, 50), (deleteButton, 'left', 0, 50)] )
# Result: ui.FormLayout('window1|formLayout51') #

pm.showWindow( window )
