Get selected sicky notes Hou

[MENOZ]

Hello, 

I can't find a way to get a list of selected stiky notes with python. Is there a special command for this?

Thank you!

hey, I've already read that page, still I can't get the selected sticky note.

am I missing something obvious?

Yeah, I think once you have a stickynote variable all you have to do is evaluate the isPicked() function. If true that stickynote is selected.

 

n = hou.node("/obj/")
for my_stickynote in n.stickyNotes():
    print my_stickynote.isPicked()

this means I would need to look everywhere for sticky notes, then loop over them and check which one is selected.

I would expect the selection is stored somewhere in memory and there should be a wasy way to get it, I guess this is what happens with the hou.selectedNodes()

Correct, but you do target the network when you supply the path.

If you are just looking in DOPs then...

n = hou.node("/obj/AutoDOPNetwork1")

If i have to supply the path eveythime I loose the benefit of using the script, I could just write every t youknime the note directly. Thanks for the help anyway

I could get the mouse position and get the path of where it is in the network view, but not always I can have my mouse where i want it to be. I think there should be a way to get the current selection.
