hey guys

I created a window in Maya, and I need to list all checkboxes in it.

Is there a way to do that only for this window?

thanks

name your checkboxes in some way, for e.g;  
mc.checkBox('chkAAOpen')  
mc.checkBox('chkAASave')  
etc

then use this:  
chks = [x for x in mc.lsUI(typ='control') if x.startswith('chkAA')]
