Hypermesh - Scripting- Tick box

Andy@LamteqSolutions

Hi all,

 

I'm trying to put a script together which uses tickboxes but can't seem to find the command to produce a tickbox.

 

Anyone have any ideas?

 

Cheers

Andy

there is a toolkit called HWTK in HW installation.

 

 

They might help you to get started.

Awesome, many thanks Adriano

just as a hint that i've received from a colleague:

 

Most of the examples start from a 'preview' frame, in HWTK gallery, which is not available in a regular HM session.

 

So in order to use some widget, always create first a window/dialog, then start adding your buttons, checks, ...

 

In the example, 'recess' is the name of the frame/dialog

.

hwtk::dialog .d -title Dialog -transient [winfo toplevel $w]
.d hide apply
.d post
set recess [.d recess]

 

 

after that, add your other statments.

 

set w [hwtk::labelframe $recess.lf -text 'Saftey Check' -padding 2]
pack $w -anchor nw -pady 4 -padx 4

set i 0
foreach option {'Wipers OK' 'Lights OK' 'Brakes OK' 'Driver Sober'} {
    set cb [hwtk::checkbutton $w.b$i -text $option]
    pack $cb -side top -fill x -pady 2 -padx 4
    incr i }

Many thanks Adriano, 

 

Am typically used to creating windows using 

destroy .selection
set f .selection;
frame $f
hm_framework addpanel $f 'Tool Selection';
hm_framework drawpanel $f;

 

Although I will give your version a go. 

 

Something which does bother me is the padding 

'pack $cb -side top -fill x -pady 2 -padx 4'

 

Say I have 20 options and I use this code, a column of 6 tickboxes will appear in the window and the rest will simply not appear What I would like it to do is create columns. How do I get it to create several columns?

Put the frame in a text box (hwtk text has scrollbars)

And then get hull of textbox, use this hull as a frame to be added to hm panel
