Hello all, I'm a Softimage user needing to move over and get familiar with
Maya. I apologize in advance if I post any stupid questions. Does this list
have its own search function? I looked for one but couldn't find any.
I'm using Maya 2015 on Windows at the moment and I'm having trouble with my
userSetup.py file. Basically, I want to create a custom menu in the menu
bar at launch. After googling some tutorials on the matter, I have code
that works great when fired from the the script editor, but when run at
launch, it bombs. Basically my function to build the window is unable to
get a handle on the main Maya window... it gets returned as *NoneType*. The
relevant part of my code looks something like this:
def buildMenu():
ptr = mui.MQtUtil.mainWindow()
mayaWindow = shiboken.wrapInstance(long(ptr), QtGui.QWidget)
mainMenu = cmds.menu('MyMenu', p=mayaWindow, l='My Menu')
cmds.menuItem(p=mainMenu, d=True, dl='Some Divider')
cmds.menuItem(p=mainMenu, l='Some Tool')
The error comes from *wrapInstance(long(ptr))*, because *ptr *is being
returned as *None*. I'm unsure how to proceed. It basically seems as though
my code is getting run *before *the main window has initialized, so it
doesn't exist yet?
Thank you for any assistance...
