Argument types |
Properties |
-addControl(-ac) |
|
|
|
The first argument is the name of the attribute for which you
wish to add a control. You can assume that when the editor is
created from the template, an appropriate type of control will be
used. The second string argument is optional, and can be used to
specify a command (or script) to be executed when the attribute is
changed. |
|
-addDynamicControl(-adc) |
|
|
|
As -addControl with the exception that the attribute for which
the control is to be created/attached is dynamic. [Note:
-addControl will also work for dynamic attributes, but will not
preserve their order in the attribute editor]. |
|
-addAdskAssetControls(-aac) |
|
|
|
Adds controls for dynamic attributes of adskMaterial nodes and
organizes them in a layout according to the XML ui description
specified in the asset library. |
|
-label(-l) |
string |
|
|
This flag can only be used with the -addControl or the
-addDynamicControl flags. And it must be specified FIRST. The
string will override the name of the attribute that will be
displayed in the attribute editor. |
|
-annotation(-ann) |
string |
|
|
This flag can only be used with the -addControl or the
-addDynamicControl flags. The string will be used as an annotation
on the controls created in the attribute editor. |
|
-addComponents(-acp) |
|
|
|
This flag will add a frameLayout with a channel box which will
display any selected components for the object. |
|
-suppress(-s) |
string |
|
|
Prevent a control for the attribute specified by the string
argument from appearing in the editor created from the
template. |
|
-dimControl(-dc) |
string string boolean |
|
|
This flag is only useful AFTER a control has already been
created (using the -addControl flag). The first argument is the
node name and the second is the attribute whose control you wish to
affect. The third argument is a boolean which specifies whether to
dim (true) or undim (false) the associated control. |
|
-queryControl(-qc) |
string string |
|
|
This flag is only useful AFTER a control has already been
created (using the -addControl flag). The first argument is the
node name and the second is the attribute whose control you wish to
query. Note that in most cases, using this flag is identical to
issuing a getAttr command, however, in the case of textFields (e.g.
for message attributes), the text value currently being displayed
will be returned, NOT the actual attribute value. |
|
|
string |
|
|
List extra attributes.This flag is only useful AFTER a control
has already been created (using the -addControl flag). The first
argument is the node name. |
|
-queryLabel(-ql) |
string string |
|
|
This flag is only useful AFTER a control has already been
created (using the -addControl flag). The first argument is the
node name and the second is the attribute whose control label you
wish to query. In most cases this flag returns the same value as
the attribute's nice name, but when a -label flag was present on
the -addControl command that created the control, -queryLabel will
return that value instead |
|
|
|
|
|
By default, if there are attributes of a node which you do not
-addControl or -suppress, then controls will be created
automatically and appended to the end of editor created from the
template. This flag allows you to specify a particular place in the
template for such controls to be automatically inserted. If dynamic
attributes have not already been addressed with -addControl, they
will also be placed here. A frameLayout will automatically be
generated for you when you use this flag. |
|
|

alternate label or an empty string to hide the label. This flag
must be used in conjuction with the -aec/addExtraControls

|
|
|
Adds a separator to the template. |
|
-beginLayout(-bl) |
string |
|
|

string argument. Items between this flag and its corresponding
-endLayout flag will be contained within the layout. You can assume
that when the editor is created from the template, an appropriate
type of layout will be used. (frameLayout). |
|
-collapse(-cl) |
boolean |
|
|
This flag is only valid when used in conjunction with a
-bl/beginLayout flag. It is used to specify the initial
expand/collapse state of the layout. A true value will cause the
layout to be collapsed upon creation, while a false value will
expand the layout. The default is true (ie. collapsed). |

dialog, the procedure specified by the first argument is to be
called to create some UI objects when a new node type is edited.
The procedure specified by the second argument is to be called if
an attribute editor already exists and another node of the same
type is now to be edited. The replacing procedure should connect
any controls created by the creating procedure to the equivalent
attributes in the new node. A list of zero or more attributes
specifies the attributes which the two procedures will involve. The
procedures should have the signature:
proc AEcustomNew(string attributeName1, string attributeName2)
The number of attributes specified in the call should correspond to
the number of attributes in the procedure signature. |
|
-beginNoOptimize(-bn) |

Specifies that the layout of items between this flag and its
corresponding -endNoOptimize flag is not to be optimized to
minimize space. |
