Hello Guys!
I have some problem with build UI. I use MEL for it.
When I run comands from script editor, All is ok, brilliance.
But, if i use userSutup.mel , it does not work.
{
setParent -menu mainPolygonsEditUVsMenu;
menuItem -l "_test_menu_" ;
}
How would one build this in MEL?
I’ve almost finished an asset manager but want a better system to browse through folders like the one above?
kidultor : Hi, i use to do this in python nowadays but take a look at this topic :
http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?t=732647
It’s a problem about your UI refreshing too fast and overriding your custom menu. We had one similar here too.
Hamburger : I’m really not sure you can do this in MEL. This is pure Qt widget.
To do simalr things i think you will have no choice than use textScrollList, good luck!!!
How can I make a pane size “stick” in place?
The paneLayout -command only has a flag for defining a % value. I want one pane to be exactly X pixels in width and I have no clue how to do that.
Even if I set the pane widths to 1 and 99 (pane 1 and 2) pane 1 gets much larger than the child elements it contains!!
EDIT:
NVM - found the staticWidthPane -flag
is their any way we can put tabs upside down just like in this example picture…
click image for different example
QTTabWidget.setPosition(‘South’) would make the tabs appear on the bottom. North, West and East are also valid options.

Hi all,
I trying to add new button to the Status line:
global proc toggleMyToolsButton() {
global string $gStatusLine;
global string $gStatusLineForm;
$statusLine = `formLayout -parent $gStatusLineForm`;
$gStatusLine = `flowLayout`;
setParent $statusLine;
$buttonForm = `formLayout`;
// Just a button
global string $gMyToolsButton;
$gMyToolsButton = `iconTextCheckBox -image1 "bullet_selectSolverNode.png" // test
-annotation ("My tools")
-changeCommand ("ToggleChannelBox") channelBoxButton`; // test
///
// Set up the attachments.
//
formLayout -edit
-attachForm $gMyToolsButton top 1
//-attachControl $gMyToolsButton left 0 $gLayerEditorButton // Why this don't working?
-attachNone $gMyToolsButton bottom
-attachNone $gMyToolsButton right
$buttonForm;
}
toggleMyToolsButton();
But I don't alighn new button to other button like a "Show/hide Attribute editor/Layer editor/Channel box, etc.":
Hi. I’m back to studying Python.
Now reading up on classes and how to utilize it with UI:s.
I’m having some problems figuring out how to get exactly what I want though and so I turn to you.
I’m using the book “Maya Python for Games and Film”. They are distributing a base window class found here:
http://maya-python.com/files/optwin.py
I then created another class which inherits from the base class, here:
import optwin
reload(optwin)
from optwin import AR_OptionsWindow
class newWin(AR_OptionsWindow):
def __init__(self):
AR_OptionsWindow.__init__(self)
self.title = 'Dag\'s window'
self.window = 'dag\'s window'
self.actionName = 'Huey'
def displayOptions(self):
mc.setParent(self.optionsForm)
self.btnA = mc.button(
label = "button A")
mc.formLayout(self.optionsForm, edit=True,
attachForm=(
[self.btnA, 'left', 0],
[self.btnA, 'right', 0],
[self.btnA, 'top', 0],
[self.btnA, 'bottom', 0],
),
attachPosition=(
[self.btnA, 'right', 0, 50],
)
)
newWin.showUI()
It’s really simple. However I really can’t figure out how to align the button in the formlayout which is parented to the tab layout so it will scale with the window =/
Tried parenting the button to the mainForm instead and sure, that works, but I want it to be attached under the tab layout.
Thank you for reading!
Ok, I figured this one out. However I still don’t get it… :banghead:
By editing the base class, the elements resize according to the formLayout settings.
on line 42 I changed:
scrollable=True to scrollable=False
However I really wouldn’t want to go in and edit the class, but it seems nothing else work. :rolleyes:
I tried to edit this in my inherited class:
def displayOptions(self):
mc.tabLayout(
self.optionsBorder,
e=True,
scrollable=False,
tabsVisible=True,
tli = (1, 'tab 1')
)
This works for the tabVisible and tab label, but does nothing for the scrollable function. :argh:
Anyone could shed some light on this?
I’m posting both the edited class and my full inherited one for you to try.

I am completely stumped with this. I’m trying to build a character control GUI with a background image and buttons or some other clickable object laid over the top but I can’t get it working. The buttons are not clickable and behind the image and I have no idea why. I’ve basically pieced this code together from other character gui’s so I’m at a loss. Any help would be appreciated.
string $title = "Control Window";
int $width = 640;
int $height = 700;
//create window
if(`window -q -exists UIWin`){
deleteUI UIWin;
}
string $win = `window -title $title -widthHeight $width $height`;
// create tablayout
string $tabs = `tabLayout -innerMarginWidth 5 -innerMarginHeight 5`;
//Body Tab
string $tab_cl1 = `columnLayout -w $width -h $height -adj 0 Body`;
// create a formLayout
string $form= `formLayout -numberOfDivisions 640`;
//createButton
string $bodyButton =`button -w 70 -h 20 -label "Body" -ann "Select body control" -c print "body select"` ;
string $chestButton =`button -w 70 -h 20 -label "chest" -ann "Select chest control" -c print "chest select"` ;
//creat image
string $BodyPage = `image -image "guiTail.png"`;
// FormLayout edit
formLayout -edit
-attachForm $bodyButton "top" 300
-attachForm $bodyButton "left" 200
-attachForm $chestButton "top" 40
-attachForm $chestButton "left" 400
-attachForm $BodyPage "top" 0
-attachForm $BodyPage "left" 0
$form;
setParent..;
setParent..;
//Show Window
showWindow $win;
Thanks, but I still can’t figure it out. I did as you suggested but the buttons are still behind the image. It seems that no matter what order I put the buttons and the image, the image is always in front. Is there anything else I could be missing?
Edit: Curiously if I instead use a symbolButton for the background image but have “-enable 0” so it cannot be clicked the control buttons are placed in front and work fine. The problem with this is “-enable 0” makes the image black and white.

hello. im Gabriela and i would like your help to have a job that could help me. work is autodesk maya mel proxy.
my work consists of the following
Create a script that allows me to create the proxy of a helicopter (model of a helicopter in
very low poly)
must include a general controller type Nurbs Circle function as father of all
hierarchy.
must create an expression that allows me to assess:
If the helicopter is on the ground not moving propellers.
If the helicopter rises must turn the propellers.
appreciate a reply thanks. :sad:
We are not going to do your homework for you. Post code so we can see what you are struggling with.
Maya gui trivia: somebody knows how to hide the x button in a widget so users cannot close them? Or make hitting that button crash save?
Thanks
I’m learning to use Python in Maya and I’ve got a simple question. Im creating a UI window code where Im setting the pivot =
of a .nurbsCube(). I created this Float Field Group that has 3 value fields.
pivotSet = cmds.floatFieldGrp(numberOfFields= 3, label= 'Pivot', value1= 3 ,value2= 1,value3= 1)
Im trying to set the values of this field in another function that will use that pivotSet for the pivot =
:
pivotSet = cmds.floatFieldGrp(pivotSet, query= True, value1= True ,value2= True, value3= True)
However, when I do this the function only returns a single float (value1) instead of all three values, so how can I fix this?
Venator11387,
To ‘set’ the value you need to ‘edit’ the floatFieldGrp, ‘Query’ returns the existing values.
cmds.floatFieldGrp(pivotSet, edit= True, value1= 1,value2= 2, value3= 3)
or
cmds.floatFieldGrp(pivotSet, edit= True, value= (1, 2, 3)
Hope that helps
