nodeTreeLister is undoable, queryable, and editable.
This command creates/edits/queries the node tree lister control.
nodeTreeLister is a treeLister, but items are assumed to have commands which
return dependency node names. Dragging from the results pane is supported.
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Argument types |
Properties |
exists(ex)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Returns true|false depending upon whether the
specified object exists. Other flags are ignored.
|
|
defineTemplate(dt)
|
string
|
|
|
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.
|
|
useTemplate(ut)
|
string
|
|
|
Force the command to use a command template other than
the current one.
|
|
parent(p)
|
string
|
![create create](../gfx/create.gif)

|
The parent layout for this control.
|
|
enable(en)
|
boolean
|
![create create](../gfx/create.gif) ![query query](../gfx/query.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.
|
|
width(w)
|
int
|
![create create](../gfx/create.gif) ![query query](../gfx/query.gif)

be this size if it is not overruled by parent layout conditions.
|
|
height(h)
|
int
|
![create create](../gfx/create.gif) ![query query](../gfx/query.gif)
|
|
The height of the control. The control will attempt to
be this size if it is not overruled by parent layout conditions.
|
|
visible(vis)
|
boolean
|
![create create](../gfx/create.gif) ![query query](../gfx/query.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
|
![create create](../gfx/create.gif) ![query query](../gfx/query.gif)
|
|
Command that gets executed when visible state of the control changes.
|
|
isObscured(io)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Return whether the control can actually be seen by the user.

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
|
![create create](../gfx/create.gif) ![query query](../gfx/query.gif)
|

preventOverride(po)
|
boolean

|
|
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.
|
|
noBackground(nbg)
|
boolean
|
![create create](../gfx/create.gif)
|
|
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.
|
|
enableBackground(ebg)
|
boolean
|
![create create](../gfx/create.gif) ![query query](../gfx/query.gif)
|
|
Enables the background color of the control.

has a directory structure like hierarchy.
Eg. -dt render/multiLister/createNode/material
|
|
dragCallback(dgc)
|
script
|
![create create](../gfx/create.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
"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
|
![create create](../gfx/create.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 "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'")
