macka Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Hey all, I'm new to houdini, and developing interfaces to in-house software tools. I've been reading this forum for a little while, and it's been a great resource! I can create shelf-buttons, put items into the main houdini menus, and am getting around the python worlflow fairly comfortably - but, i can't seem to find where to edit right-click menus in different parts of the interface, or even whether it is possible. I can see that OPmenu has some right-click menu functions, but it seems that OPmenu is limited to when it clicks on an actual operator in the network view... I wanted to add something to the general menu that comes up when you right-click an empty space in the network view.... is this posible, and if so does anyone have an example of how to do it?? cheers!!

graham Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I'm afraid it isn't possible. RMB type menu editing is quite limited in Houdini currently. Hopefully it will become more open and XML based sooner than later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macka Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 cheers Graham!, many thanks for that info - fingers crossed the functionality will be added at a later stage.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csp Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I know this is a very old post but I am wondering how can be done? I am not asking if that can be done, because I have seen it in a major studio I was working in London. Actually it was node based, for example RMB on a null you had some extra items than in the other nodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It uses hscript for callbacks, but you can use 'python' hscript command to call python. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
