Having an issue with my script when I make multiple tabs in a row. I if I make two tabs and then try to edit the first; it changes the second tab and not the first.

print("List created" + str(match_selection))

# if pm.window(tw, exists = True):
# pm.deleteUI(tw)
tw.show()
I'm under the impression that In order to accomplish this I need to have each set of selections be an instance of a class so that I can edit them. With that in mind, I moved the
def select_joints_afk(self):, def select_joints_aikw(self):, & def select_joints_ikpv(self):
into a Create selectionChains class like so..
class Create_Selection_Chains():
def __init__(self, name ,Fks, Ikw, ikpv):
self.name=name
self.Fks = Fks
self.Ikw = Ikw
self.ikpv = ikpv
print Fks + Ikw + ikpv
def select_joints_afk(self):
if cmds.ls(selection = True,type=("transform",'nurbsCurve')):
sel = cmds.ls(sl=True)
fkCtrls = cmds.listRelatives(sel, allDescendents=True, type=("transform",'nurbsCurve'))
self.Fks = [nurbsCurve for nurbsCurve in fkCtrls if nurbsCurve.startswith('FK') & nurbsCurve.endswith('_Ctrl')]
cmds.textFieldButtonGrp(TabWindow().tsL0, edit = True, tx ='' .join(sel),buttonLabel='IK OK',backgroundColor = (.5,.8,.2))
self.Fks.extend(sel)
print self.Fks
return self.Fks
else:
text = cmds.confirmDialog( title='Error', message='Must select joint', button=['OK'],
defaultButton='Ok', dismissString='No' )
def select_joints_aikw(self):
if cmds.ls(selection = True,type=("transform",'nurbsCurve')):
sel=cmds.ls(selection = True)
ikwrist = sel
self.Ikw = [nurbsCurve for nurbsCurve in ikwrist if nurbsCurve.startswith('IK') & nurbsCurve.endswith('Ctrl')]
cmds.textFieldButtonGrp(Set_up_Tab().tsL1, edit = True, tx ='' .join(ikwrist),buttonLabel='IK OK',backgroundColor = (.5,.8,.2))
cmds.select(ikwrist)
print self.Ikw
return self.Ikw
else:
text = cmds.confirmDialog( title='Error', message='Must select joint', button=['OK'], defaultButton='Ok',
dismissString='No' )
def select_joints_ikpv(self):
if cmds.ls(selection = True,type=("transform",'nurbsCurve')):
sel = cmds.ls(sl=True)
ikPvsel = sel
self.ikpv = [nurbsCurve for nurbsCurve in ikPvsel if nurbsCurve.endswith('Pv_Ctrl')]
cmds.textFieldButtonGrp(self.tsL2, edit = True, tx ='' .join(ikPvsel),buttonLabel='IK OK',backgroundColor = (.5,.8,.2))
cmds.select(ikPvsel)
print self.ikpv
return self.ikpv
else:
text = cmds.confirmDialog( title='Error', message='Must select joint', button=['OK'],
defaultButton='Ok', dismissString='No' )
& the instance is created In TabWindow Class method def appendJointChain(self, *args)::
self.joint_chain_select = Create_Selection_Chains( self, "foo", "bar", "baz")
I've made several attempts at this (shown above in Create_Selection_Chains class) but I can't seem to get it right.
# Error: AttributeError: file <maya console> line 136: 'TabWindow' object has no attribute 'tsL0' #
# Error: NameError: file <maya console> line 150: global name 'Set_up_Tab' is not defined #
# Error: AttributeError: file <maya console> line 163: Create_Selection_Chains instance has no attribute 'tsL2' #
I think I might need to have the tabs I create in the UI be either thier own class or part of Create_Selection_Chains class but I'm really unsure at this point. Could someone explain what is going on and how I might be able to solve this?
It is a bit difficult to give you some advice since your code is somewhat chaotic. Since you are creating one interface and you use pymel anyway I recommend to keep everything within one single class and build everyting in this class. e.g. you want to create a window with two tabs could work this way:
class TabWindow(pm.ui.Window):
def __init__(self):
super(TabWindow, self).__init__()
self.title = "TabWindow"
self.tabA = None
self.tabB = None
self.buildUI()
def createSelecttionChain(self):
pass
def modifySomethingInTabB(self):
pm.button(label="TestButton", parent=self.tabB)
def pushButton(self, *args):
print "button pressed"
self.modifySomethingInTabB()
def fillTabA(self, parent):
pm.setParent(parent)
pm.button(label="PushMe", c=self.pushButton)
def buildUI(self):
tabLayout = None
children = []
pm.setUITemplate("DefaultTemplate", pushTemplate=True)
with pm.columnLayout(adjustableColumn=True) as cl:
with pm.tabLayout() as tabLayout:
for childName in ["My Tab A", "My Tab B"]:
with pm.columnLayout(adjustableColumn=True) as cla:
children.append((cla, childName))
self.fillTabA(children[0][0])
self.tabA = children[0][0]
self.tabB = children[1][0]
pm.tabLayout(tabLayout, edit=True, tabLabel=children)
pm.setUITemplate("DefaultTemplate", popTemplate=True)
tw = TabWindow()
tw.show()
Then you can add your tools step by step. This way the code is much better readable and much better to maintain. And errors are easier to find.
