Maya 2014: python scripted nodes/XML-based AETemplates questions ...

[Geoff Harvey]

Hello!

I'm trying to build some python scripted nodes with custom XML AETemplates, but I'm having a heck of a time getting the templates to work as nearly as well as I could with the MEL-based variety.

So ... I was wondering if anybody might be able to help me with a couple questions:

Is there any way to build a "default" view (ie, standard) with custom controls? It's easy enough to build custom views, but modifying the default only seems possible using MEL.

Does anybody have an example of a working optionMenuGrp using python callbacks? I think I'm being dense, but I can't get this to work ...

Thanks a bunch,
