textField - invoking callback on each keypress, keeping focus after Enter

[Michał Frątczak]

Hi

I'm using textField to implement interactive filter to some list of strings.

I'd like to have my callback function being called on each keypress.

Also, I'd like to retain focus after enter.

I'm with MEL now but can convert to anything that works:

textField -e -cc "myCallback" $textField UI;

thanks !

Hi

If the change callback doesn't fire on each keypress (I can't remember) and you want more custom behaviour than the limited Maya UI objects provide, then you may need to switch to PySide. You can make a QLineEdit do anything you want.

Yeah I am also with Justin on PySide and QLineEdit.

You can listen for signals like textChanged, enterPressed, stoppedEditing etc. and then call a function when these are fired. I use QLineEdit for filtering all the time, works a treat :)

Thanks guys !
I kept away from Qt for too long now, partly because complicated setup on c++ side and partly because MEL was enough most time...
It's also good time to check Marcus and Fredrik's  Qt.py tool :) so, do you know of any nice maya+qt tutorials/recipes ?

thanks !

Whenever anyone asks about getting started with PyQt, this book always pops up. It covers a lot of PyQt4, which is all relevant in PyQt5 too.

- https://www.qtrac.eu/pyqtbook.html

What it doesn't cover is what PyQt5 *added*, namely QML, for which a complementary guide can be found here.

- https://qmlbook.github.io/

There are also a few video series on Youtube about QML which some Googling will be able to reveal.

Best,

Marcus
