The HyperWorks Desktop scripting interface is a set of Tcl/Tk commands that follow a simple and consistent syntax.
Tcl/Tk Commands
Tcl/Tk classes for the following HyperWorks Desktop applications.
MotionView
::model Procedures
::mdlTempListCollector
This command will be used to create an mdlTempListCollector widget. This widget is a collector that lets the user select multiple different types and hold on to each reference individually. It is not attached to a data member so it gets/sets its value from the specified variables. The widget is a “combobox” of mdlTempCollectors of different entity types. The user can select the type of entity that they want to resolve and then resolve it. The resolutions for the other types are not lost, they are individually maintained. The list of types includes a variable to hold the value for each type. This widget will not be attached to any data members.
::AllowAdvSel
This command is used to query whether or not this mdlTempListCollector widget allows the user to resolve the references by any means other than graphically picking. If the mdlTempListCollector allows the user to resolve the entity references from the tree (not just graphically picking), then “true” is returned, otherwise “false” is returned. The user could have used the “-allowAdvSel” option when the mdlTempListCollector widget was created. That option tells the mdlTempListCollector widget to allow or not allow the user to resolve the references using the dialog containing a tree and list of valid entities that is displayed when the already activated mdlTempListCollector is activated again.

Syntax

::model::mdlTempListCollector::AllowAdvSel argFrm

Application

MotionView Tcl

Description

This command is used to query whether or not this mdlTempListCollector widget allows the user to resolve the references by any means other than graphically picking. If the mdlTempListCollector allows the user to resolve the entity references from the tree (not just graphically picking), then “true” is returned, otherwise “false” is returned. The user could have used the “-allowAdvSel” option when the mdlTempListCollector widget was created. That option tells the mdlTempListCollector widget to allow or not allow the user to resolve the references using the dialog containing a tree and list of valid entities that is displayed when the already activated mdlTempListCollector is activated again.

Inputs

argFrm: This is the path of the mdlTempListCollector for which we want to know whether the user can resolve the references by any means other than graphically picking.

Example

set selected_ent ""
set first_var ""
set top [toplevel .test]
set colFrm [frame $top.tmpFrm1 ]
pack $colFrm
set types {{Graphic Graphic ::selected_ent} {Body Body ::selected_ent}}
set list_col [::model::mdlTempListCollector $colFrm.lcol ::first_var "$types"]
pack $list_col
::model::mdlTempListCollector::AllowAdvSel $list_col

Errors

On successful execution of the command, it will return a Boolean value:

True: If the user is allowed to resolve the references using the dialog that is created when the activated mdlTempListCollector is re-activated.
False: If the user is only allowed to resolve the references using graphical picking.
