    <p>I develop tools in Autodesk Maya. Many of the tools I build have simple windowed GUIs for the animators and modellers to use. These GUIs often contain what you'd normally expect to see in any basic window; labels, lists, menus, buttons, textfields, etc. However, there are limitations to the complexity of the UIs you can build with the available tools, specifically in the types of available widgets.</p> <p>I'm interested in using some of the more advanced wxPython widgets such as the ListView (grid), Tree, etc. This would involve using a complete wxFrame (window) to display the whole UI, which would essentially mean that window would no longer be tied to Maya. Not a deal breaker, but it means when Maya is minimized, the window won't follow suit.</p> <p>I've tried something like this before with tkinter as a test, but found that it needed a MainLoop to run in its own thread. This is logical, but in my case, it conflicts with Maya's own thread, essentially making Maya hang until the window is closed. This is due to the fact that Maya runs all scripts, be they MEL or Python, in a single thread that the main Maya GUI shares. This is to prevent one script from, say, deleting an object while another script is trying to do work on the same object.</p> <p>wxPython has this same "mainloop" methodolgy. I'm wondering if there's any way around it so that it can work within Maya?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
