parent = op('/project1')
if parent.op('SimpleUI'):
parent.op('SimpleUI').destroy()
comp = parent.create(baseCOMP, 'SimpleUI')
page = comp.appendCustomPage('UI')
menu = page.appendMenu('Choice', label='Auswahl')
menu.menuNames = 'ainz zwai trai'
menu.menuLabels = "ainz,zwai,trai"
menu.default = 'ainz'
Try adding [ ] and a comma separated list of words.
menu.menuNames = ['ainz', 'zwai', 'trai']
menu.menuLabels = ['ainz','zwai','trai']
It’s looking for a list. If you only give it one string python automatically assumes its a list of characters.
Cheers.
I copy/pasted some of your code,
menu.menuNames = [‘ainz’, ‘zwai’, ‘trai’]
and it complained about the type of quotes, i.e. they should be matching single or double quotes, not the up/down style.
As I was curious as well about creating a menu programmatically, I ended up having to do:
menu.menuNames = ([‘foo’, ‘bar’],)
menu.menuLabels = ([‘FOO’, ‘BAR’],)
Not sure why it wouldn’t just take the list without it being inside a tuple.
Looks like the quotes were replaced by the forum editor here unfortunately.
Using preformatted text tag will fix that.
Yah matching single or double quotes.
Not sure I follow your example:
python >>> n.par.Menu.menuLabels = ('A','B','C') #3 entries: A, B and C
python >>> n.par.Menu.menuLabels = ['A','B','C'] #3 entries: A, B and C
python >>> n.par.Menu.menuLabels = (['A','B','C'],) #single entry: ['A','B','C']
python >>> n.par.Menu.menuLabels = [('A','B','C'),] #single entry: ('A','B','C')
Did you get 3 entries or 1?
I was getting 3, but I now think that’s because in the original example, ‘menu’ is a ParGroup:
python >>> menu
type:ParGroup name:Choice owner:/project1/base1 value:(ainz)
whereas your example is accessing it via n.par. I did it via n.par and got behavior that matches yours.
