python Select node with Python

[CarlosGuzman]

Hi, 

I am trying to select a node with a button in a HDA, but when I do select it, the object level switches to geometry level, how can I prevent that?

I would like to select a drawcurve with an enter included, so when I press the button I will have the cursor switch to the red sphere icon to start drawing.

any ideas would be highly appreciated it.

 

Thanks,

You can set handles and the default state of your hda inside the type properties. So I would not try and select the node inside the hda at all, but rather promote the parameters and set the default state to stroke. Also take a look at the drawCurves SOP which is nothing else than just a HDA built around the stroke SOP.

There has already been a nice explanation of this here: 

I hope this helps if you haven't found a solution by now anyway.

Hi Ben,

Yes, this is very handy, I did use this method. 

Thank you so much!
