Saving tool button states when switching between tools?

[lehtiniemi]

When I have for example a checkbox in my tool top bar, its value gets reset when I switch to another tool and back.

Is it possible to save this state so that the value stays the same even if I switch to other tools inbetween?

yes.

load and save prefs

for example

Code: Select all

function HS_Test_harness:SavePrefs(prefs)

	prefs:SetBool("HS_Test_harness.trace", self.trace)
	prefs:SetBool("HS_Test_harness.diagnose", self.diagnose)
	prefs:SetFloat("HS_Test_harness.n1", self.n1)
	prefs:SetFloat("HS_Test_harness.n2", self.n2)
	prefs:SetString("HS_Test_harness.uut", self.uut)


end

function HS_Test_harness:LoadPrefs(prefs)

	self.trace = prefs:GetBool("HS_Test_harness.trace", true)
	self.diagnose = prefs:GetBool("HS_Test_harness.diagnose", true)
	self.n1 = prefs:GetFloat("HS_Test_harness.n1", 0)
	self.n2 = prefs:GetFloat("HS_Test_harness.n2", 0)
	self.uut = prefs:GetString("HS_Test_harness.uut", defaultOn)

end

function HS_Test_harness:ResetPrefs()

	self.trace = true
	self.diagnose = true
	self.n1 = 0
	self.n2 = 0
	self.uut =  defaultOn
	
end

yes.

load and save prefs

for example

Code: Select all

function HS_Real_Time:SavePrefs(prefs)

	self.useIK = prefs:GetBool("HS_Real_Time.useIK", true)
	self.boneFBF = prefs:GetBool("HS_Real_Time.boneFBF", false)


end


function HS_Real_Time:LoadPrefs(prefs)

	prefs:SetBool("HS_Real_Time.useIK", self.useIK)
	prefs:SetBool("HS_Real_Time.boneFBF", self.boneFBF)

end


function HS_Real_Time:ResetPrefs()

	HS_Real_Time.useIK = true
	HS_Real_Time.boneFBF = false

end

Thanks. Again.
