Hi there,
I have some menu and panels, that works fine,
now i made a new menu and i am completely lost .
Wherever i call this menu, it always have the wrong layout.
How this is possible?
Edit: I found many posts around about layout,
Some of them i dont know how make them work, like this
https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/44094/split-row-inside-of-pop-up-panel-while-keeping-formatting
only the last seems to work, But still the layour is pretty weird,
Why the labels are not all equally wided?
def draw(self, context):
layout = self.layout
col = layout.column_flow(columns=3, align=False)
col.label(text="row0-col0", icon='WORLD_DATA')
col.label(text="row0-col1!", icon='WORLD_DATA')
col.label(text="row1-col0!", icon='WORLD_DATA')
col.label(text="row1-col1!", icon='WORLD_DATA')
col.label(text="row2-col2!", icon='WORLD_DATA')
col.label(text="row2-col2!", icon='WORLD_DATA')
Thanks for reply,
yes the column_flow will at least equally place the buttons,
I post here another screen of the behaviour of the row()
The same command apply to the panel on the left, will shrink 3 operator in 1 column
Why the menu instead will place the 3 operators in row , creating new columns?
The goal is to have the menu like the panel, what am i missing?

ok so a menu is working as a flow so using row then column won’t work as in a panel.
so to have exactly same menu that for a panel you can run a floating panel from an operator (in another menu or a shortcut. like I did there
bl_info = {
"name": " Aaaa",
"author": "name",
"version": (1, 0, 0),
"blender": (2, 80, 0),
"location": "View3D",
"category": "Menu"
}
import bpy
###Panel
class PANEL_PT_Menu(bpy.types.Panel):
bl_label = "panel menu"
bl_space_type = 'PROPERTIES'
bl_region_type = 'WINDOW'
bl_context = "0data" # to hide it. bl_context = "object" to show it in props
bl_options = {'DEFAULT_CLOSED'}
def draw(self, context):
layout = self.layout
layout.label(text="The Menu you want as a panel")
####call as an operator
class SimpleOperator(bpy.types.Operator):
"""Tooltip"""
bl_idname = "object.simple_operator"
bl_label = "Simple Object Operator"
def execute(self, context):
bpy.ops.wm.call_panel(name='PANEL_PT_Menu', keep_open=True)
return {'FINISHED'}
addon_keymaps = []
def register():
bpy.utils.register_class(PANEL_PT_Menu)
bpy.utils.register_class(SimpleOperator)
wm = bpy.context.window_manager
if wm.keyconfigs.addon: #### call it from a key
km = wm.keyconfigs.addon.keymaps.new(name = '3D View Generic', space_type = 'VIEW_3D')
kmi = km.keymap_items.new(idname='wm.call_panel', type='Q', value='PRESS', alt=True)
kmi.properties.name = "PANEL_PT_Menu"
addon_keymaps.append((km, kmi))
def unregister():
bpy.utils.unregister_class(PANEL_PT_Menu)
bpy.utils.unregister_class(SimpleOperator)
wm = bpy.context.window_manager
kc = wm.keyconfigs.addon
if kc:
for km, kmi in addon_keymaps:
km.keymap_items.remove(kmi)
addon_keymaps.clear()
if __name__ == "__main__":
register()
# test call
bpy.ops.object.simple_operator()
notice I’m not showing the menu in properties panel to not overload it.
