Script to turn backface culling on or off for sele

[mark77]

I am new at MEL, and wish to create a shelf script to turn on or off the backface culling for the selected polygon object. Is there a way to make it 1 script? Like an expression / if backface culling is on then turn it off? Any help would be great. Also how can I make it so it works on any selected polygon object.

thankx again

Here is the one I use. It toggles between backface culling on with hard edges and backface culling off. You caqn poke around at the flags to make it toggle between your favorite two options.

global proc toggleBackFace()
{

polyOptions -r -backCullVertex false; // toggles vertex backface cull

int $tmp[] = polyOptions -q -backCulling;

if ($tmp[0]) polyOptions -hardBack;
else polyOptions -backCulling;
}
