How can I control the display of Key Ticks in the Time Slider via MEL?The command syntax to control the display of the Key Ticks is as follows: global string $gChannelBoxName; global string $gPlayBackSlider; // No Key Ticks timeControl -e -showKeys none $gPlayBackSlider; // Active Key Ticks timeControl -e -showKeys active $gPlayBackSlider; // Key Ticks from Channel Box timeControl -e -showKeys $gChannelBoxName $gPlayBackSlider; To demonstrate their use in the form of a simple control window: // showKeyTicks.mel v1.0 (18 Feb 2000) // // MEL script for Maya // // Bryan Ewert // http://www.ewertb.com global proc eg_performShowKeyTicks( int $mode ) { // Name of Time Slider global string $gPlayBackSlider; // Name of Channel Box (for Channel Box mode) global string $gChannelBoxName; switch ( $mode ) { case 0: // No Key Ticks timeControl -e -showKeys none $gPlayBackSlider; break; case 1: // Active Key Ticks timeControl -e -showKeys active $gPlayBackSlider; break; case 2: // Key Ticks from Channel Box timeControl -e -showKeys $gChannelBoxName $gPlayBackSlider; break; } } global proc showKeyTicks() { if ( `window -exists eg_showKeyTicks` ) deleteUI -window eg_showKeyTicks; window -title "Show Key Ticks" eg_showKeyTicks; columnLayout; radioCollection; radioButton -label "No Ticks" -onc "eg_performShowKeyTicks(0)"; radioButton -label "Active Ticks" -onc "eg_performShowKeyTicks(1)"; radioButton -label "Channel Box Ticks" -onc "eg_performShowKeyTicks(2)"; showWindow; } Alternatively, you could just hotkey the command that brings up the Animation Timeline and Playback Preferences window: preferencesWnd "timeline"; | ||
