Hello,
I’m making a Maya to Unreal object converter as part of a school assignment and i’m having trouble figuring out how i can have the File path I’ve Selected from the fileDialog2 option to appear in the textField string i have set up. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thank you!
Edit: Forgot to mention i’m using the Python language.
This should do what you’re looking for. This launches a window with a button and a textField. The button calls a function which brings up the file dialog. Whatever path you select is stored in a variable. Maya likes to return things as lists, so make sure to grab index 0. Finally, the function edits the textField with the path name.
from maya import cmds
def get_file(*args):
path_name=cmds.fileDialog2(fm=3)[0]
cmds.textField(file_field, e=1, text=path_name)
if cmds.window('testFileUI', exists=1):
cmds.deleteUI('testFileUI')
cmds.window('testFileUI', width=300, height=100)
cmds.rowLayout(nc=2)
cmds.button (c=get_file)
file_field = cmds.textField(text='')
cmds.showWindow('testFileUI')
