if I run the following code in a python tab of the script editor:
import maya.cmds as cmds
class winTest(object):
def __init__(self):
self.windowTitle = 'This is my class window'
self.WindowHandle = cmds.window(title=self.windowTitle,
maximizeButton=False, widthHeight=(300,300))
cmds.showWindow(self.WindowHandle)
winTest()
the window which is created is shown as "window1" on the taskbar
(linux). Is this different behaviour from what you are
experiencing ? If so, are you on linux ? Maya 2010 ? I am just
wondering what if this is a bug in python in maya. When I run
essentially the same code in mel, I get the title displayed properly
on the taskbar.
thanks
