Updating checkBoxes

global proc doSomethingWhenSelectionChanges()
{

}

// set up the script job
scriptJob -event "SelectionChanged" "doSomethingWhenSelectionChanges";

Thanks for your help. I just have one more question on this subject.

if(`window -exists "checkBoxWindow"` == 1){
deleteUI "checkBoxWindow";
}
window checkBoxWindow;
columnLayout;
select -cl;
select -allDagObjects -vis;
string $scene[]= `ls -selection`;
string $checkBoxList[];
int $i;
//invariant: ith iteration creates a checkbox for the ith dag in the scene
for($i = 0; $i < size($scene); $i++)
{
select -cl;
//runs once each loop: creates the checkbox in the gui
while(true){
$checkBoxList[$i] = `checkBox -onc ("select -add " + $scene[$i]) -ofc ("select -d " + $scene[$i]) -label ("" + $scene[$i])`;
break;
}
}
global proc somethingChanged(){
int $k;
string $selected[];
$selected = `selectedNodes -dagObjects`;
int $match; //using as a boolean
//looks at the kth dag in the scene and checks to see if it is selected.
//if yes then the corresponding checkbox should be checked, and if not then the
//checkbox should be unchecked
for($k=0; $k < size($scene); $k++){
$match = 0; //false
for( $dag in $selected ){
if(`strcmp $scene[$k] $dag` == 0){
$match = 1; //true
}
}
//if the dag is selected then its checkbox shoukd be checked and vice versa
checkBox $checkBoxList[$k] -value $match;
}
}
scriptJob -event "SelectionChanged" somethingChanged();
showWindow;
I'm getting errors saying that $checkBoxList abd $scene are undeclared in the somethingChanged procedure. How can I fix this since I want the same variables that I have in upper portions of my code.

Hi,

You could try global variables.
Also,
$selected = `selectedNodes -dagObjects`;
returns an object with the pipe symbol, '|', and I'm not sure if you'd get the correct result using strcmp with a string of "|polySphere1" and "polySphere1".




if(`window -exists "checkBoxWindow"` == 1){
deleteUI "checkBoxWindow";
}
window checkBoxWindow;
columnLayout;
select -cl;
select -allDagObjects -vis;
global string $sceneObjects[];
$sceneObjects = `ls -selection`;
global string $checkBoxListA[];
print $checkBoxListA;
int $i;
//invariant: ith iteration creates a checkbox for the ith dag in the scene
for($i = 0; $i < size($sceneObjects); $i++)
{
select -cl;
//runs once each loop: creates the checkbox in the gui
while(true){
$checkBoxListA[$i] = `checkBox -onc ("select -add " + $sceneObjects[$i]) -ofc ("select -d " + $sceneObjects[$i]) -label ("" + $sceneObjects[$i])`;
break;
}
}
showWindow;
global proc somethingChanged(){
global string $sceneObjects[];
global string $checkBoxListA[];
int $k;
string $selected[];
$selected = `ls -sl`;
int $match; //using as a boolean
//looks at the kth dag in the scene and checks to see if it is selected.
//if yes then the corresponding checkbox should be checked, and if not then the
//checkbox should be unchecked
for($k=0; $k < size($sceneObjects); $k++){
$match = 0; //false
for( $dag in $selected ){
if(`strcmp $sceneObjects[$k] $dag` == 0){
$match = 1; //true
}
}
//if the dag is selected then its checkbox shoukd be checked and vice versa
checkBox -e -value $match $checkBoxListA[$k];
}
}
scriptJob -event "SelectionChanged" "somethingChanged()";


Good luck!
