[historyFilename=string],
[input=string], [suppressErrors=boolean], [suppressInfo=boolean], [suppressResults=boolean],
[suppressStackWindow=boolean],
[suppressWarnings=boolean],
[writeHistory=boolean])
Note: Strings representing object names and
arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the
synopsis.
scriptEditorInfo is undoable, queryable, and editable.
Use this command to directly manipulate and query the contents of
the Command Window window. Note: Due to recent changes, certain
flags will no longer work on the Script Editor Window. All flags
will continue to work with the CommandWindow (old Script
Editor). Note: This command cannot be used to create a new
script editor window.
string |
The name of the Command Window window is returned. |
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Long name (short name) |
Argument types |
Properties |
clearHistory(ch) |
boolean |
|
|
Clears the read-only text in the upper field of the Command
Window. |
|
input(i) |
string |
|
|
Sets the text in the lower field of the Command Window. Set
this value to an empty string to clear the field. Note: this flag
only affects the Command Window and not the new script editor. To
find out how to manipulate the new script editor please refer to
the documentation on the cmdScrollFieldExecuter and
cmdScrollFieldReporter. |
|
historyFilename(hfn) |
string |
|
|
Sets or returns the name of the file that the Command Window
will use to echo all of its history to. If this is an empty string
when the -wh/writeHistory flag is set to true, then it will
automatically be set to the default file. |
|
writeHistory(wh) |
boolean |
|
|
When true, Command Window will echo all of its history to the
file defined by the -hf/historyFilename flag. This flag effectively
turns file writing on/off. |
|
clearHistoryFile(chf) |
boolean |
|
|
Clear the file defined by the -hf/historyFilename flag, but
only if -wh/writeHistory is true. Use this flag to start a new
history file, since the default behaviour of the Command Window is
to append to the existing file. |
|
suppressErrors(se) |
boolean |
|
|
When true, Command Window and Script Editor will not display
error messages. |
|
suppressWarnings(sw) |
boolean |
|
|
When true, Command Window and Script Editor will not display
warning messages. |
|
suppressInfo(si) |
boolean |
|
|
When true, Command Window and Script Editor will not display
info messages generated by Maya. |
|
suppressResults(sr) |
boolean |
|
|
When true, Command Window and Script Editor will not display
command results. |
|
suppressStackWindow(ssw) |
boolean |
|
|
When true and when the stackTrace mechanism is on, this flag
will suppress the display of the stack window. If stack trace is
enabled then results will be returned to the output window instead
of a separate stack window. |
