Maya Window UI create Event?

[Arvid Schneider]

Hey Group, 

I am trying to figure out how to register an ui create event. What I am trying to achieve is run a  script when the renderViewWindow opens.

It might be something that you either have to create a custom event for, in the API, or to hook into the Qt events for the app and watch for a showEvent(). That is my guess.

I will give it a try. I was looking in the API already, but couldnt find anything useful. 

How would you go about to create a custom even?

It would be great if that would work:

while not pm.window('renderViewWindow', q = True, ex = True):

    print 'renderView Closed'

else:

    runFunction

I will have a look in the Qt Events though

I've never actually create and registered a custom event before. But I assume you would have to do the same thing, latching onto showEvents through Qt. You wouldn't want to do anything that is polling at intervals. It would be Qt telling you when windows are shown, and you would have to check the objectName to see if it is one that you care about.

Maybe there is another way, but I didn't see anything possible through the message API

Arvid, did you have any luck with this? I'm trying to do the same thing and haven't figured out how yet.

Actually I think I got it. I updated my "Adding Controls to the Hypershade" thread at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/python_inside_maya/P3XXQnWIT9k

The solution would work the same way here, except you'd have to check child.objectName() == 'renderViewWindow'

Hey thanks Michael! 
I will check right into that! 

I will keep you posted
