If Toolbar is true make it false
-
Hi,
I have managed to capture the event to hide and open the Getting Started toolbar:
Sketchup.send_action(21992)
Now I have this is there anyway to make it so that if the toolbar is open make it closed and if its closed leave it closed meaning that each time I start up sketchup or when its started for the first time it will hide the Getting Started.
maybe somthing like this (obviously not this but the basics
)21992 = true {Sketchup.send_action(21992)}
Thanks Guys,
Simon -
I just found the following in the Google SketchUp Ruby API
status = UI.set_toolbar_visible("Camera", true)
could I maybe change this to make what I want work?

UI.toolbar_names

The toolbar_names method is used to returns the name of all the available toolbars (this differs between PC and Mac).

status = UI.set_toolbar_visible("GettingStarted", true) didnt seem to work :s
is there anyway to detect so maybe code like: "GettingStarted" = true { Sketchup.send_action(21992)}
Apologies for my coding attempts I am used to javascript and not ruby

By the way.. the numeric arguments to .send_action are ONLY PC, you need to use the string args to be cross-platform (if that matters.)

Close Sketchup, restart, open the 'GettingStarted' toolbar from the View > Toolbars menu. Then open the Ruby Console and try it again (paste it into the command box just as I had posted.)
Then tell us the result. (You may have corrupted something.)

that should be fine as its only going to be run on pcs, damn macs
as the 'status = UI.set_toolbar_visible("GettingStarted", false)' dosnt work and the send action can open and close the toolbar, is there no way to pickup if GettingStarted is showing and if it is have it send action to toggle it off?

no still nothing
how about my above method? -

Check any code that is loading from the plugins folder, you must be corrupting something, because it DOES work.
You can try resetting the Sketchup UI to factory defaults.
Window menu > Preferences item
Preferences dialog > Workspace page > Reset Workspace button -
UI.set_toolbar_visible('GettingStarted', true) unless UI.toolbar_visible?('GettingStarted') -
@simonstaton said:

yes sure
status = if UI.toolbar_visible?('GettingStarted') Sketchup.send_action(21992) endwhich is the eqiuvalent of:
status = UI.set_toolbar_visible("GettingStarted", false) -
Oh - you tried that and it didn't work. Odd. See if Dan suggestion of resetting the workspace works. Becaus eI tested that snippet and it works.
-
no still nothing changes when I use that code either in the ruby console or in the .rb files and after doing what you said I am however using sketchup 6 if that could stop this from working?
-
I just tested this out in sketchup 7 and it does work fine so it must just be sketchup 6

Don't know never used v6
Why can't you upgrade to v7.1MR2 ?
-
some of the features I am using on my toolbar dont want to work in sketchup 7
such as my checkout system,is it ok if I try detecting the toolbar being open? any chance you know any code that I could use to see if it is visible then using an if statement have it send the action.
