Thanks Jo! We will do that if the speed is a problem. Thanks!

hey david,
you shouldn't need to update your widgets every time the user has
changed its selection (completely behind steve on that one) but
everytime focus has changedback to your widget.
overload QWidget::enterEvent or QWidget::focusInEvent and update your
highlight buttons when the widget is under the cursor.
your developer could also have a look to the tool sdk, both are
compatible and you could end up with something nice (custom
manipulater + synoptic).

this is a good example. combined with a few other good reasons i
would probably implement an event, but if this were the only good
reason i would still avoid doing it with an event. as i said in my
email to david, if performance were to be an issue, i would
highlight the controls in the gui once the cursor enters the
application.
there are a few things in softimage that make me paranoid and
selection events is one of them. i remember a plugin that was
installed at blur a long time ago that did an on selection change
script that was the culprit for some serious lag for the animators.
i also imagine one might want to keep open multiple character guis
and i can see this getting out of hand. but its still worth some
investigation.

Bi-Directionality is actually quite important.
A lot of people want to do part of a selection in the viewport
quickly, and then add a few missing, or easier to retrieve,
bits clicking around in the character pane.
Doing it with events isn't a huge drag, it only kicks in at
selection time in the viewport, and it's most likely done with
a monitor job in Maya, which tends to have comparable lag, so
if people find it ok in one they will most likely be fine with
the other's.

ya, it might be slow.
i dont see an advantage to the bi-directionality feature,
anyone care to give me a good example?
