Hi Gabriele:
You might want to look at some sample code for creating windows. (e.g.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3492106/creating-a-maya-ui)
However, more to the point, the reason you cannot access toggle_test is
because it is out of scope, and only launchUI() knows about it. If you
want printIt to have access to toggle_test, I would place these two
methods in a class and have that variable be a instance variable.

Following everybody's hints, I got to this point:

# Load maya commands module
importmaya.cmds asmc
# Build the UI
deflaunch_UI():
# This prevents multiple windows to pop up
ifmc.window("myWindow",ex=True):
mc.deleteUI("myWindow",window=True)
# Window set-up
mc.window("myWindow",title="Test Window",s=False,wh=(300,100))
mc.columnLayout(adj=True)
toggle_test =mc.checkBox(label ='Toggle me!',value =False)
mc.button(l="Press to print the value of the checkbox
below",w=300,h=100,
command =printIt)
mc.showWindow("myWindow")
# Print the value
defprintIt():
# Query toggle status
var=mc.checkBox(toggle_test,query =True,value =True)
# Print the status
print"Checkbox's status is:",var
launch_UI()

And the shelf button still looks like this:
|
importtestScript
reload (testScript)
|
I'm sticking with having the UI launched from within the script simply
because it allows me to run the code from both the script editor and
the shelf. I seem to understand it shouldn't be like that, so I'll fix
it when the debugging is done :)
When I run it, the UI pops up and at button press I get this error:
|
# Error: printIt() takes no arguments (1 given)
# TypeError: printIt() takes no arguments (1 given) #
|
So I edited the printIt function like this:
|
# Print the value
defprintIt(test):
printtest
# Query toggle status
var=mc.checkBox(toggle_test,query =True,value =True)
# Print the status
print"Checkbox's status is:",var
|
I get a printout of test as "False", but I am at a loss to what that
value refers to and from where it comes from.
Plus, I get a new error :P
|
# Error: NameError: file
D:/GoogleDrive/Maya/shared_folder/scripts\testScript_01.py line 25:
global name 'toggle_test' is not defined #
|
I was thinking of feeding "toggle_test" to print it using the call
back, like this:
|
mc.button(l="Press to print the value of the checkbox
below",w=300,h=100,command=printIt(toggle_test))
|
This doesn't seem to work though. This is what I get:
|
# Error: TypeError: file
D:/GoogleDrive/Maya/shared_folder/scripts\testScript_01.py line 16:
Invalid arguments for flag 'command'. Expected string or function, got
NoneType #
|
I guess I could simply define it as a global variable and be done with
it, but I don't think is the best option. Unless it is the ONLY
option, which would make it the best option too >P
Thanks a lot guys, and I apologize if I am being a N00b
Cheers
