dragAttrContext?

[scotta]

I'm trying to create a hotkey that will toggle the channel box selection between custom attributes and activate the middle-mouse drag 'slider' control. I have run into a couple of problems...

My first step has been to select an attribute manually and try to activate the slider with MEL. All I can determine is that when dragging, the current context is 'dragAttrContext'. My first problem is that when I try to 'setToolTo dragAttrContext' it says that context isn't found (I can set move/scale/rotate this way). On top of this, the contextInfo command tells me that this context doesn't exist. Is there any way to do what I'm trying to do?

The next problem will be to figure out how to select a desired attribute through MEL. I suspect this involves 'selectionConnection" which usually confuses me.

Thanks for any advice on this.

You can use the connectTo parameter of the dargAttrContext cmd

From the documentation:

dragAttrContext( [name] , [connectTo=name], ...)
- connectTo: Specifies an attribute to which to connect the context. This is a multi-use flag, but all attributes used must be from one object.
