John: Yeah, that's pretty much it. The knob triggers a re-draw of its widget when setFlag is called; the tab switching may actually be a Qt UI setting of some kind.
Richard: .setFlag with any value will work, but when you call .setFlag(True), you're actually calling .setFlag(1) due to implicit type conversion. Knob flags are stored as a bitmask (imagine a binary number like 01110010110 where each digit controls the state of a flag), and some knob types actually use the first bit to store a flag, so you should stick to 0 for changing the active tab. -Nathan From: John Vanderbeck Sent: Monday, October 13, 2014 6:29 PM To: Nuke Python discussion Subject: Re: [Nuke-python] Cross-Post: Any Pythonic way to select a node'staband make it active? Nuke's UI is pretty basic. Most likely any modification of the flag is causing Nuke to refresh that knob and thus causes it to swap to that tab in the UI. That is just a guess though. - John Vanderbeck - http://www.johnvanderbeck.com On Mon, Oct 13, 2014 at 6:25 PM, Richard Bobo <richb...@mac.com> wrote: Thanks, Nathan. I got the same answer from my cross-post over on nuke-users. Also, I discovered that .setFlag(True) appears to do the same thing - i.e., makes the tab active. Maybe any True expression works? I tried other integers besides zero and they work, too… Rich On Oct 13, 2014, at 9:17 PM, Nathan Rusch <nathan_ru...@hotmail.com> wrote: `knob.setFlag(0)` on the tab knob should do it. If not, set it on one of the knobs in the tab. -Nathan From: Richard Bobo Sent: Friday, October 10, 2014 1:24 PM To: Nuke Python discussion ; Nuke-Users Mailing List Subject: [Nuke-python] Cross-Post: Any Pythonic way to select a node's taband make it active? Hi, Sorry for the cross-post, but I am hoping to find someone who might have the definitive answer for this… Is there a way in Python to select/make active/make current a particular tab on a node…? When I create a new node with a custom tab on it, then show the panel, I want the custom tab to be the one that is currently selected. If I get the Tab_Knob object I created and look through the available methods, I can’t seem to find one that will do it. None of the Flags seem to be what I’m looking for. I know this question has been asked before (by me and a few others)… Is there no way to do it? Thanks!
