Parents of parents of MPlugs 2003-11-28 - By David Gordon
Back
What is the best way of determining if the compute function of a
dependency node is being asked to compute a plug that looks like this:
plug = nodeName.arrayPlug[0].childAttribute
I can detect arrayPlug by simply comparing plug with arrayPlugAttr (my
static attribute MObject).
I can detect arrayPlug[0] by comparing plug.parent() with arrayPlugAttr
(after a call to MPlug::isElement())
But if I detect that the plug is a child plug, and that its parent is an
element, I cannot get the parent of the parent. The only solution I can
think of at the moment is doing a nasty string comparison on the name.
Surely there is a neater way?
Thanks,
David
