Open/Close Window with the same shortcut/command

[danimanfx]

Hello guys. I searched the forums regarding my problem and I still dont know how to do one thing. I dont know how to script.  I want  to open and close a window with the same shortcut. For example: 

dDoMaterial Manager which I have installed works with shortcut "m" both for opening and closing:

"source ddoMaterialManager_2013.mel; if (window -ex mmWindow) { deleteUI mmWindow; } else { ddoManager; };dDo Material Manager v2.7.5ModifyDisplacementRelease;artDeactivateScreenSlider;"

I also have installed SpPaint 3d, on a different shortcut.

"spPaint3d;import spPaint3dGui; spPaint3dwin=spPaint3dGui.spPaint3dWin()" 

I want is to close it the same as dDoMaterial Manager, by pressing the same key!

Is it possible ? If anyone can help me please and explain so I could do for all the windows I need...

Thank you guys!

Hi

I dont know the plugins/scripts you are talking about but in the lines calling the first one (dDoMaterial Manager) it basicly says " If the window named mmWindow exists, kill mmWindow, if it does'nt exist create it." And that's basicly the way to go to do exactly what you want.

Therefore, for you to implement it into your second script (spPaint3D), you would need to know the name of the window you want to open/close. Once you know it, you can just do the exact same thing as the first script, changing mmWindow for the new Window name.

To find the window's name you unfortunately need to read it in the script (well I dont know any other way). It normally is in a like like "string $window = window  -title "Auto Linear Converter" -rtf true -sizeable false "LinWorkflowWindow";" (in this case, the name of the window is LinWorkflowWindow).
