I have an operator that uses an EnumProperty so that I can call different functions from the UI without needing multiple operators.
row.operator("test.operator",text="1").action = 'ONE'
row.operator("test.operator",text="2").action = 'TWO'
row.operator("test.operator",text="3").action = 'THREE' class TestOp(Operator):
bl_idname = "test.operator"
bl_label = "Test Operator"
bl_description = ""
bl_options = {'REGISTER', 'UNDO'}
action: EnumProperty(
items=[
('ONE', 'One', 'This is number 1'),
('TWO', 'Two', 'This is number 2'),
('THREE', 'Three', 'This is number 3')
]
)
def execute(self, context):
if self.action == 'ONE': self.test_one()
elif self.action == 'TWO': self.test_two()
elif self.action == 'THREE': self.test_three()
return {'FINISHED'}
def test_one(self):
print("1")
...etc
In doing this I realized I lose descriptions when hovering over the operator button, then I found out you could dynamically set the description of the operator:
@classmethod
def description(cls, context, properties):
return properties.action However I cannot figure out how to use the third column value in the EnumProperty. It is using “THREE” for the tooltip, how do I get this to use “This is number 3” instead?
Full test script:
import bpy
from bpy.props import *
from bpy.types import Operator, AddonPreferences, Panel, PropertyGroup
class TestPanel(bpy.types.Panel):
bl_label = "Test Panel"
bl_idname = "OBJECT_PT_Test"
bl_space_type = 'VIEW_3D'
bl_region_type = 'UI'
def draw(self, context):
layout = self.layout
row = layout.row()
row.operator("test.operator",text="1").action = 'ONE'
row.operator("test.operator",text="2").action = 'TWO'
row.operator("test.operator",text="3").action = 'THREE'
class TestOp(Operator):
bl_idname = "test.operator"
bl_label = "Test Operator"
bl_description = ""
bl_options = {'REGISTER', 'UNDO'}
action: EnumProperty(
items=[
('ONE', 'One', 'This is number 1'),
('TWO', 'Two', 'This is number 2'),
('THREE', 'Three', 'This is number 3')
]
)
@classmethod
def description(cls, context, properties):
return properties.action
def execute(self, context):
if self.action == 'ONE': self.test_one()
elif self.action == 'TWO': self.test_two()
elif self.action == 'THREE': self.test_three()
return {'FINISHED'}
def test_one(self):
print("1")
def test_two(self):
print("2")
def test_three(self):
print("3")
