Hi. I can get every command by using this code. But some commands are command groups. How can I get the commnds of command group?
For example I want to get this commands.

workbenches = Gui.listWorkbenches()

for wb_name in workbenches:
    Gui.activateWorkbench(wb_name)
    wb = Gui.getWorkbench(wb_name)
    items = wb.getToolbarItems()
    for i in items:
        #if i in pass_list: pass
        tb_name = i
        toolbar = items[i]
        for cmd in toolbar:
            command = Gui.Command.get(cmd)
            print(command)

I see. This is currently not possible. What we need is a way to check if a QAction has a QMenu and if yes also list its items.

When I created Modern UI, I accessed to qpushbuttons in toolbars. But İt's just a work around. So I don't like this method. If there is another way, it would be good for me.

git commit b3200a8a9 implements a way to get the QAction of a Command. This function always returns a list which can

• be empty if the command is not used yet in a workbench
• have a single element which is the case for the majority of commands
• have several elements for an action group

Code: Select all

cmd = Gui.Command.get("Sketcher_CompCreateRegularPolygon")
cmd.getAction()

Code: Select all

cmd = Gui.Command.get("Sketcher_CreatePoint")
cmd.getAction()

From a QAction you should get all the additional information you need. See https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qaction.html

I think there must be an UI api for python which UI developers can reach, edit or disable UI objects. Then we can talk about a documentation. Otherwise there is just some code that can reach wbs and their commands.
