[SOLVED] Menu 'Checkable' how to unset at creation

[onekk]

Hello to all, I'm developing a Plugin, and I've one problem:

I have created a menu item that is checkable:

Code: Select all

class _SetDebugLevel:
    """Set the debug level"""

    def Activated(self, index):
        # what is done when the command is clicked
        if index == 0:
            SetDBLevel(False)
        else:
            SetDBLevel(True)
        

    def GetResources(self):
        # icon and command information
        MenuText = QtCore.QT_TRANSLATE_NOOP(
            'OneCAM_Main',
            'Debug')
        ToolTip = QtCore.QT_TRANSLATE_NOOP(
            'OneCAM_Main',
            'Set Debug Level for OneCAM')
        return {
            'MenuText': MenuText,
            'ToolTip': ToolTip,
            'Checkable': True}

Now I want when I activate the workbench check if a variable "DEBUG" is set and put the toggle mark according to it.

so if debug is True i want the mark checked and if debug is False put the mark as unchecked.

At the menu creation the mark is set (it as the little v on it)

How to achieve that?

No one have some hint, or this thing is not feasible in FreeCAD?

If i understand you correctly you already did try to set the index to 0 or 1? And it didn't work?

Note:
1. The changes compared to a normal command is that the 'Activated' has a second parameter of type int which is 0 for off and 1 for on.

In your workbench class you need to implement the method:

Code: Select all

def Activated(self):
    from PySide import QtGui
    action=mw.findChild(QtGui.QAction,"_SetDebugLevel")
    action.blockSignals(True)
    action.setChecked(DEBUG) # not sure if DEBUG is a boolean
    action.blockSignals(False)

Thank you, wmayer now it is working.

Done.

I didn't know that the title was editable, many other forum don't permit editing after some time (usually one or two day).

Good to know

Many thanks and Regards
