Call to Ordered menu item

[davidyannick]

I'd like to customize one of my presets, but how can I extract the value of the ordered list?

Thanks you for your help

This is how I've got it set up using python at least, not sure about hscript:

np = n.parm("nodeparm")
val = np.menuLabels()[np.eval()]

The "menuLables()" function gets all the labels in the ordered list and running "eval()" directly on the parameter gives you what index in the list the current selection is at.

However, if you want your text field to update every time you change the dropdown you will have to recalculate every time you change the dropdown by adding a callback function to it.

Hope it can still be useful!
