[hariharanmca05]

Version : Maya 7.0

With (Camera) Node's Transform Name can i get camera Name to navigat through camera view. and may also get transform name with camera name.

       can any one point me in the right direction?

Yes use listRelatives

Actually I am showing a list of transform nodes and consider my node is a camera, when I select the camera node it should activate this method.

CODE
lookThroughModelPanel modelPanel4
//It will look through camera view.

But I have only transform name.

And I am not clear about, why is it

whats the problem with it?
The code line you given works properly with transform names.

If you need a shape : yes: use what joojaa said: listRelatives -s $transform tells you the according shape.

And now what is it you want to do? You want the active camera in modelPanel4 to change as you select a camera from the outliner? Nice Idea .. but is it that what you want?

Pardon me if I sound rude but i can hardly get what you are trying to achieve and what your actual problem is.

In UI List, I am showing all other nodes like Polygon shapes..etc. (All transform node to move, rotate, scale operations) and also camera.

In my UI List.
1. When I select any camera (I have to check selected node is a camera) then only my above code will work.
2. When I select other nodes like polygon...etc., it should only select and respond for my transform command.

let me try your code myself everybody. Thank you for kind reply.
