Flow Production Tracking Menu

class shotgun_menus.ShotgunMenu(parent=None)

Bases: QMenu

A base class with support for easily adding labels and groups of actions with a consistent styling.

Usage Example:

shotgun_menus = sgtk.platform.import_framework("tk-framework-qtwidgets", "shotgun_menus")
ShotgunMenu = shotgun_menus.ShotgunMenu

# ...

action1 = QtGui.QAction("Action 1", self)
action2 = QtGui.QAction("Action 2", self)
submenu = QtGui.QMenu("Submenu", self)

menu = ShotgunMenu(self)
menu.add_group([action1, action2, submenu], "My Actions")

Image shows the results of the ShotgunMenu created in the example.

Initialize the menu.

Parameters:

parent (QWidget) – The menu’s parent.

static get_label(title)

Create the label widget to add to the menu.

add_group(items, title=None, separator=True, exclusive=False)

Adds a group of items to the menu.

The list of items can include QAction or QMenu instances. If a title is supplied, a non-clickable label will be added with the supplied text at the top of the list of items in the menu. By default, a separator will be added above the group unless False is supplied for the optional separator argument. A separator will not be included if the group is added to an empty menu.

A list of all actions, including separator, label, and menu actions, in the order added, will be returned.

Parameters:

• items (list) – A list of actions and/or menus to add to this menu.

• title (str) – Optional text to use in a label at the top of the group.

• separator (bool) – Add a separator if True (default), don’t add if False.

• exclusive (bool) – If exclusive is set to True, the added items will be an exclusive group. If the items are checkable, only one will be checkable at any given time. The default is False.

Returns:

A list of added QAction objects

Return type:

list

add_label(title)

Add a label with the given title to the menu

Parameters:

title (str) – The title of the sectional label

keyReleaseEvent(event)

Allow users to type menu item names to highlight/select them.

Entity Field Menu

class shotgun_menus.EntityFieldMenu(sg_entity_type, parent=None, bg_task_manager=None, project_id=None)

Bases: ShotgunMenu

A menu that automatically displays the fields for a given Shotgun entity.

The QActions for the menu will all have their data set to a dictionary in the form:

{“field”: selected_field}

Constructor

Parameters:

• sg_entity_type (String) – The entity type to build a menu for

• parent (QWidget) – Parent widget

• bg_task_manager (BackgroundTaskManager) – The task manager the menu will use if it needs to run a task

• project_id (int) – The project Entity id. If None, the current context’s project will be used, or the “site” cache location will be returned if the current context does not have an associated project.

set_field_filter(field_filter)

Set the callback used to filter which fields are shown by the menu.

Parameters:

field_filter (A method that takes a single field string as its only argument and returns a boolean) – Callback called for each entity field which returns True if the field should be shown and False if it should not. The fields will be in “bubbled” notation, for example “sg_sequence.Sequence.code”

set_checked_filter(checked_filter)

Set the callback used to set which fields are checked. By specifying a value other than None, all the menu items will be checkable.

Parameters:

checked_filter (A method that takes a single field string as its only argument and returns a boolean) – Callback called for each entity field which returns True if the field should be checked and False if it should not. The fields will be in “bubbled” notation, for example “sg_sequence.Sequence.code”

set_disabled_filter(disabled_filter)

Set the callback used to filter which fields are disabled

Parameters:

disabled_filter (A method that takes a single field string as its only argument and returns a boolean) – Callback called for each entity field which returns True if the field should be disabled and False if it should not. The fields will be in “bubbled” notation, for example “sg_sequence.Sequence.code”

set_entity_type_filter(entity_type_filter)

Set the callback used to filter what entity types to display in submenus

Parameters:

entity_type_filter (A method that takes a single entity types string as its only argument and returns a boolean) – Callback called for each entity type which returns True if the given entity type should be displayed
