Qt Lua Commands

[Shando]

Hi All,

Just a quick question regarding the Qt Lua commands.....

I have managed to get an almost complete listing together, except for the following (where I've highlighted the bits I'm unsure of using ?? and also added my thoughts on what the parameter/return should be):

Code: Select all

qt.blockSignals ( thisEditor, ?? ) - I presume it should be a 1/0 or true/false
?? = qt.closeEditor ( thisEditor, thisEditor2 ) - I presume there is no return value, though might be nice to have one to indicate success
table = qt.getAllDirsInDirectory ( thisEditor, ?? ) - I presume this is the directory in string format - is it relative or absolute
table = qt.getAllTreeIDs ( thisEditor, ?? ) - I presume this works on a single tree widget
string = qt.getDirDialog ( thisEditor, ?? ) - I presume this opens a dialog - is it relative or absolute
string = qt.getFileInfo_AbsoluteFilePath ( thisEditor, ?? ) - I presume this is the file in string format
string = qt.getFileInfo_AbsolutePath ( thisEditor, ?? ) - I presume this is the file in string format
string = qt.getFileInfo_BaseName ( thisEditor, ?? ) - I presume this is the file in string format
string = qt.getFileInfo_path ( thisEditor, ?? ) - I presume this is the file in string format
string = qt.getFileInfo_Suffix ( thisEditor, ?? ) - I presume this is the file in string format
?? = qt.getIcon ( thisEditor, thisWidget ) - I presume this is a string containing the icon name
?? = qt.getPixmap ( thisEditor, thisWidget ) - I presume this is a string containing the pixmap name
qt.setIcon ( thisEditor, ?? ) - I presume this is the icon name in string format
qt.setIconView ( thisEditor, thisWidget, ?? ) - ??
qt.setListItemFlag ( thisEditor, ?? ) - ??
qt.setListView ( thisEditor, thisList, ?? ) - ??
qt.setTableItemFlag ( thisEditor, ?? ) - ??
qt.setTreeItemFlag ( thisEditor, ?? ) - ??


Could you please let me know what, if anything, the ?? parameters and return values are?

Also, are there any special things I should know, like certain commands only work on certain widgets?

Thanks in advance

Hi Shando,

Your thoughts are pretty close and idea for improvements can be done.
Any true/false options are passed to Lua as int 1/0

Oh and we have loads more commands as SP is creating the vegetation system on QT Lua. You can now register event listeners so you can interact with the render window correctly, just need some mesh and material commands and the scope will be huge as in what editors can be made this way. Full user custom tools

We will be updating the docs and API soon so will hopefully get these commands covered for you.

Thanks for the info.

Woohoo!! More goodies to play with

Can't wait for the next major update!

Hey Shando

Sorry for not posting myself just been busy in the code fixing bugs and getting the final systems in play.

This update is taking a bit more time as we are releasing it as a potential release candidate for v1.0 (excting times ).
Lots and lots has changed and been added so it may feel like a new version entirely lol

Also, we are upping the version to from v0.9.8.14 -> v0.9.9.0 for the RC1 version of V1.0.
Still will be a couple weeks yet though

Hey SP,

No worries, take as long as you need ( though not too long )

Fixing bugs and implementing new bits in the engine is far more important, especially now that you're both so close to realising your dream!
