Hello, with COFFEE-Scripts you can set a menustate to grey out the Script-Icon when no Object is selected. Is there a Way to do so with Python?
Thanks for any help.

Hi Holger,

It seems the ENABLE Menu State doesn't dynamically enable/disable a COFFEE script icon/menu depending on the active selection state. How are you doing this in COFFEE?

As far as I understand, it's only possible to set an enable/disable state with a CommandPlugin, not with a Python Script.

To do this in COFFEE, you would include the following in the Menu State field of the COFFEE Script Editor:

  
if(op){   
ENABLE=TRUE;        
}   
else{   
     ENABLE=FALSE;        
}

Hi Donovan,

Thanks for the code and explanation.
And as you've already stated it is not possible to do such thing for a Python script, only for a Python CommanData plugin with CommandData.GetState(). There's no support of Menu State ENABLE/CHECKED for Python scripts.

Hello Guys. Thanks for your answers.
In coffee-scripts I enter this code into the menustate-Field:

if (!op) { ENABLE=FALSE; return FALSE; }
ENABLE=TRUE;

That is working. In python we dont have a menu-state Field. I thought maybe there is another way to grey out Icons. I saw that with Python-Plugins so I thought there is a way for pythonscripts as well.

To bad this is not implemented. Maybe I post an Idea. Cu arround. Holger
