How to Properly Use Radio Buttons to Update Checkbox Labels in Maya

Creating a user interface in Maya using Python can sometimes lead to unexpected errors, particularly when working with interactive components like radio buttons and checkboxes. One common issue arises when you want to change the label of a checkbox based on the state of radio buttons. In this guide, we'll guide you through the steps to set this up and explain how to resolve common errors you might encounter along the way.

Problem Statement

You are trying to set up a radio button that updates a checkbox label when its state changes. However, when attempting to execute the command, you encounter an error:
"RuntimeError: Object 'tmpX' not found." This error indicates that there is an issue in how you've defined your command for the radio buttons.

Let's dive into the solution to this problem.

Understanding the Code Structure

Here is a breakdown of the code you provided:

Common Error Explanation

The problem lies in the command definition for the radio buttons. In Python, when you use parentheses after a method name (like self.switchCmd()), it immediately executes that method rather than passing a reference to it. Therefore, all radio buttons will call the method when the UI initializes, resulting in an error since they haven’t been set up yet.

The Solution

To fix the issue, we need to remove the parentheses when assigning self.switchCmd to the onc parameter in each radio button. Here’s the corrected part of your code:

Final Revised Code

Conclusion

By removing the parentheses from the onc parameter assignment for your radio buttons, you allow the method to be called only when the button state changes, rather than when the UI is created. This fix should resolve the error and give you the interactive checkbox labels you desire. Happy coding!
