Checkboxes deselecting other checkboxes

[James Kim]

Hi,

I am building a ui an I am using checkboxes to enable sliders. Currently selecting and deselecting checkboxes enables and disables my sliders which is all well and good but I am trying to get it so when I select a checkbox it disables all other checkboxes. I have the checkbox's command set to a different function which i use to to enable and disable the corresponding sliders. I tried using an if statement but it gives me an error," Error: RuntimeError: file <maya console> line 38: Object 'False' not found." 

Here is my code so far

class sliderWindow():

    def __init__(self):

        self.name = 'windtest'

        self.size = [500, 500]

        if cmds.window(self.name, exists=True):

            cmds.deleteUI(self.name, window=True)

    def windMain(self):

        main = cmds.window(self.name, widthHeight=self.size,sizeable=True)

        cmds.columnLayout()

        self.rBtn = cmds.checkBox(label='test1', enable=True)

        self.rLayout = cmds.rowLayout(nc = 3,enable=False)

        self.slider1 = cmds.floatSliderGrp(label = 'TestS1', field = True, min = 0.000, max = 1.000, value = 0.500, step = 0.001)

        cmds.setParent('..')

        cmds.checkBox(self.rBtn, e= True,cc=partial(self.changeBox,self.rLayout))

        self.gBtn = cmds.checkBox(label='test2', enable=True)

        self.gLayout = cmds.rowLayout(nc=3,enable=False)

        self.slider2 = cmds.floatSliderGrp(label='testS2', field=True, min=0.000, max=1.000, value=0.500, step=0.001)

        cmds.setParent('..')

        cmds.checkBox(self.gBtn, e=True, cc=partial(self.changeBox, self.gLayout))

        cmds.showWindow(main)

    def changeBox(self,widget,*args):

   

        if hasattr(self, 'currentState'):

            self.currentState = cmds.rowLayout(self.currentState,q=True,enable=False)

        

        self.currentState = cmds.rowLayout(widget,q=True,enable=True)

        cmds.rowLayout(widget,e=True,enable=(1-self.currentState))

any help is appreciated. Thank you!

I don't know which line is 38. It would help if you shared this code as a pastebin in the future. But I think it's those last lines where you are passing a bool return value as if it were the layout name 

 if hasattr(self, 'currentState'):
    self.currentState = cmds.rowLayout(self.currentState,q=True,enable=False)

After you query if it's true or false it is no longer a string. I think you meant to pass a layout name. 

any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Hi,

If you don't need more than 4 checkBoxes, there is the checkboxGrp command. It manages the checkboxes for you so you only have one checkbox active.

Otherwise, about your code, I have no maya access right now, but maybe your error is due to

querying currentState (which is a bool?)  instead of widget:

if hasattr(self, 'currentState'):
    self.currentState = cmds.rowLayout(widget,q=True,enable=False)

Also, you can use kwargs when you build a command with partial; It helps disambiguate the arguments given by the caller:

cmds.checkBox(self.rBtn, e= True,cc=partial(self.changeBox,layout=self.rLayout))

def changeBox(self,layout=None,*args):

     if not layout:

            return 

 etc...
