The simplest way to accomplish this is to override one of the methods Nuke
calls to set up a panel (I would probably use either `create` or `addToPane`).
class TestPanel(nukescripts.PythonPanel):
def addToPane(self, pane=None):
super(TestPanel, self).addToPane(pane=pane)
# Do your custom setup work here

Subject: [Nuke-python] Pane Menu / knobChanged question...
Hi,
I'm trying to figure out what mechanism exposes/adds control panels to the
Properties Panel when you pick them via the Pane menu…? For example, when
executing a command for something like the SearchReplace python panel, you
right-click on the Properties tab, zip down to the Pane menu and click on the
SearchReplace item on the submenu and the panel is added to the Properties bin.
When it does this, it does not seem to use "showPanel" to do it. If, instead, I
use a hot key to startup the SearchReplace panel, it does use showPanel to open
it.
The reason I'd like to know what mechanism is opening the panel from the Pane
menu is because I want to run some functions on a panel *before* it opens in
the Properties bin. I was trying to use a knobChanged test -- if knob.name()
== 'showPanel': -- to trigger the pre-opening functions to run. That works in
the case of a hot key which uses showPanel but, since adding panels via the
Pane menu does not seem to use showPanel, that's not working…
So, does anyone know what hidden knob or command I could use as a trigger in
knobChanged to detect when a panel is getting opened via the Pane menu…? (I
hope that's clear.)
Thanks for any help!
