Re: Toggling toolbar buttons
there is a missing feature in the SDK to make a toolbar button behave like Autokey and others that work. it's a dumb little thing that I have no clue why it wasn't exposed. Internally, all commands can have a "selected" state. this is reflected by having the menues checked or their buttons pushed automatically. This selected state also allows command to detect when the keyboard shortcut is pushed and released, like the all the tool related commands do.

Re: Toggling toolbar buttons
Sometimes I use a display info custom param. to leave something in the viewport so I know the script is running.

Re: Toggling toolbar buttons
Thanks for all the help guys, very useful info... sadly I was trying to setup a button in the interface, much like Autokey, so a menu or a PPG wouldnt be the best solutions... For now I´ll have the a regular button and just log the state of the tool. But that is just putting to much trust in the hands of animators :p
Re: Toggling toolbar buttons
I remember them adding stateful entries to menus, but I don't think toolbars have an equivalent ala snap panel. If there is one, I can't say I've seen it done or used insofar. I'll give it a 50/50 chance that you could add a menu entry to a toolbar with stateful checks.

other OS.

Re: Toggling toolbar buttons
Hey Gustavo, does it have to be a button ? If not, here's a very nice trick
from Jeremie Passerin:
var cp = ActiveSceneRoot.AddCustomProperty("MyCustomPSet", false );
var layout = cp.PPGLayout;
cp.AddParameter3("myBooleanParam", siBool);
item = layout.AddItem("myBooleanParam", "", "dscontrol")
item.SetAttribute("class", "button")
item.SetAttribute(siUICaption, "Toggle Button")
item.SetAttribute(siUIStyle, 0x1003)
item.SetAttribute(siUINoLabel, true)
inspectObj(cp);
...then put your code under the "_OnChanged" callback.

I don't believe so.
