Hiding Tabs in Operator Type Properties

[Runstopable]

Hi There

my question is according to the "Tab Hide When" feature in the Operator Type Properties Dialog.

I have managed to hide some tabs by writing {parametername == 0} for example. Everything works fine except that the Houdini Console is stating

Nodename getDescriptiveName: Invalid parameter name 0

everytime I change something in the menue. How can I fix this.

Is there also a way to Hide Tabs/Parameters by logical combinations?

{parm1 == 0 || parm2 !=1} did not work for instance.

Cheers

"{ parm1 == 0 } { parm2!=1 )"

will act like parm1 equal 0 OR parm2 not equal 1

Not sure why you are getting an error, could you attache sample scene file ?

I need to hide a button unless the value of parm1
!=0
or
!= 1
so any other value show it.

any tips?

 

turns out one can do this:

{ parm1 != 0 parm1 != 1 parm1 != 99 }

Hide When:

{ parm1 == 0 } { parm1 == 1 }

turns out one can do this:

{ parm1 != 0 parm1 != 1 parm1 != 99 }

 

Isn't it doing the opposite of what you want? Maybe I didn't understood your explanation but "unless the value of parm1 != 0 or != 1" means if it's 0 or 1, hide it, show if it's anything but 0 or 1, right?

Is there a way to do it with the 'and' operator?

Hey Soumitra,
If you use something like : { parm1 == 1 parm2 == 5} then it behaves as if it was using an 'and' operator.
