I dont understand why I have to write the query value in seperate lines instead of one?


p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; } if cmds.window('myWin', exists=True):
cmds.deleteUI('myWin')
def pCube (obj):
if cmds.checkBoxGrp (chBox, query=True, value1=True):
cmds.polyCube()
if cmds.checkBoxGrp (chBox, query=True, value2=True):
cmds.sphere()

window = cmds.window( title='myWin', iconName='Win', widthHeight=(500, 110) )

cmds.columnLayout( adjustableColumn=True )
chBox = cmds.checkBoxGrp( numberOfCheckBoxes=2, label='Blahh', labelArray2=['Ahha','Hey'])
cmds.button( label='Button', command=(pCube))
cmds.setParent( '..' )
cmds.showWindow( window )


This works just fine. But if use this line.
def pCube (obj):
if cmds.checkBoxGrp (chBox, query=True, value1=True, value2=True):
cmds.polyCube()


Then the second check box will not work. What am I doing worng?

That's the way the query works - you can query either a single value like you do with "value1=True", which returns a boolean, or you can query two of the values with "valueArray2=True" which will return [boolean, boolean] or all with valueArray4 etc.

any `if` statement has to be simply true, or false (in boolean logic terms). You cannot query somethng that returns two, possibly different values. If box 1 is on (true) and box 2 is off (false) how can that return a single true or false answer for an `if` statement?
I assume you're expecting it to only return true if both boxes are on? this is logical `and` and you must always be explicit and unambiguous when it comes to logic.

Perhaps the valueArray2 option is what you want. That returns boolean, boolean.

In the case of IF statements, as previously stated, it is just simple programming logic. What you are describing is in fact this:

def pCube (obj):
if (cmds.checkBoxGrp (chBox, query=True, value1=True)) and (cmds.checkBoxGrp (chBox, query=True, value2=True)):
cmds.polyCube()
