Selecting Items in QToolButton

Attachment 13082
I'm using PySide, and I was able to get the QToolButton object. It is a drop down menu with a few actions.
What I am trying to do is:
1) Get a list of items in the QToolButton and for now just print the names... "Camera1, Camera2 ..."
2) Check an item other than the default.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am not sure I understand.

You created that list either in the widget designer or in code, no?

This is a software called Nuke. It was created by The Foundry using PySide. The developers left the PySide side open so Artist could write tools for Nuke.

I was able to find the answer I was looking for in a different forum.
I'll post it here if anyone comes searching in the future. The last line is what i was looking for.

Thanks for checking in Anda

Code:

---

def getActiveViewer():
    for widget in QtGui.QApplication.allWidgets():
        if widget.windowTitle() == nuke.activeViewer().node().name():
            return widget
    return False
 
 
def getViewerWidgets(qtObject, widgetTTSearch): 
    for c in qtObject.children():
        found = getViewerWidgets(c)
        if found:return found
        try:
            tt = c.toolTip().lower()
            if tt.startswith(widgetTTSearch):
                return c
        except:
            pass    
 
 
widgetSearch = "view selection"
viewerWidgets = getViewerWidgets(getActiveViewer(), widgetSearch)
viewerWidgets.menu().actions()[1].trigger()

Hey Anda, if you're still here, I have a second relating question. :)

If you could, please take a look at the image I posted earlier. Notice the camera icon next to the word 'default'.
That is a QToolbutton with 2 icons. When pressed/released it toggles the icon red/gray. (There is no 'down' state)
I'm trying to find a way to identify the state of the QToolbutton. If it's gray, I want to .click() it to make it red. If it's red, then don't do anything. I looked through the API, and didn't find anything helpful. Thoughts on achieving this?
What I'm trying now involves getting the QIcon, then the pixmap. I didn't find anything in the QIcon docs that would get/print the pixmap name/id.

Would you happen to know how I would get the pixmap assigned to the 2 QIcons?

Thanks for all your help!

A pixmap doesn't have an "id", it is essentially just image data.

What you can probably do is convert the pixmap into a QImage using the toImage() function and then access the pixel data to check the color.

However, the program might have the state accessible in some way elsewhere, it needs to know that for its own processing.

P.S.: since you are trying to interface with an application with unknown internals, I can highly recommend to look at GammaRay.

It is a tool specifically designed to gain insight into the internals of Qt applications.

If the button toggles between grey and red on successive clicks then QAbstractButton::setCheckable() was set to true and QAbstractButton::checked() should give you what you want. Seems that since you are getting to the QIcon it should be easy to identify the QToolButton (i.e. QAbstractButton).

This worked well. :)

Code:

---

i = toolButton.icon()
p = i.pixmap(i.availableSizes()[0])
e= p.toImage()
e.pixel(9,9)

Thanks again!
