A couple of ways of doing something like this.... first one is a really simiple UI that selects, if it can, as you're typing. The cmds.textFieldGrp has an additional flag tcc which is updated as you type rather than on enter.
if cmds.window('a',exists=True): cmds.deleteUI('a') cmds.window('a', title='test', w=300, h=100,mnb=False, mxb=False) mainLayout = cmds.flowLayout() cmds.textFieldGrp('textInput',label='test', text='',tcc="cmds.select(cmds.textFieldGrp('textInput',q=True,text=True))") cmds.showWindow('a') Or a much better way of doing it is to wrap this into a callback function that manages the command and gives you some error checking on the way from functools import partial def selectionCallback(*args): txt=cmds.textFieldGrp('textInput',q=True,text=True) if cmds.objExists(txt): cmds.select(txt) else: print 'Object no Found' if cmds.window('a',exists=True): cmds.deleteUI('a') cmds.window('a', title='test', w=300, h=100,mnb=False, mxb=False) mainLayout = cmds.flowLayout() cmds.textFieldGrp('textInput',label='test',tcc=partial(selectionCallback)) cmds.showWindow('a') hope that helps Mark On 23 April 2013 12:00, Daz <dariusz1...@gmail.com> wrote: > Heya > > Thanks for reply Justin! > > I did what you suggested but I still cant set attr. > I get this error: > > # RuntimeError: setAttr: Error reading data element number 1: .25 # > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Python Programming for Autodesk Maya" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to python_inside_maya+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To post to this group, send email to python_inside_maya@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. > > > -- ------------------------------------- Mark Jackson Technical Animation Director http://markj3d.blogspot.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Python Programming for Autodesk Maya" group.
