`TaurusCommandButton`

class TaurusCommandButton(parent=None, designMode=False, command=None, parameters=None, icon=None, text=None, timeout=None)[source]

This class provides a button that executes a tango command on its device.

Code examples:

# a button that executes the "status" command for
# the 'a/b/c' device server
button =  TaurusCommandButton(
    command = 'Status', icon='logos:taurus.png'
    )
button.setModel('a/b/c')

#  a button that executes the "exec" command for
# the 'a/b/c' device server with one parameter
button =  TaurusCommandButton(
    command = 'Status', parameters=['2+2'],icon='logos:taurus.png'
    )
button.setModel('a/b/c')

Command

returns the command name to be executed when the button is clicked

Returns:: the command name
Return type:: str or None

CustomText: Returns the custom text of the buttom, or None if no custom text is used

DangerMessage

Returns the current apply danger message or None if the apply operation is safe

Returns:: the apply danger message
Return type:: str or None

Model

Returns the model name for this component.

Parameters:: key (object) – the model key. Defaults to first element of .modelKeys
Returns:: the model name.
Return type:: str

Parameters

returns the parameters to be used on command execution

Parameters:: parameters (sequence) –

Timeout: Returns the number of seconds to wait for the result of the command (or -1 if timeout is disabled)

UseParentModel: (deprecated))

commandExecuted

getCommand()[source]

returns the command name to be executed when the button is clicked

Returns:: the command name
Return type:: str or None

getCustomText()[source]: Returns the custom text of the buttom, or None if no custom text is used

getDisplayValue(**kwargs)[source]: see TaurusBaseComponent.displayValue()

getParameters()[source]

returns the parameters to be used on command execution

Parameters:: parameters (sequence) –

classmethod getQtDesignerPluginInfo()[source]

Returns pertinent information in order to be able to build a valid QtDesigner widget plugin.

The dictionary returned by this method should contain at least the following keys and values:

‘module’ : a string representing the full python module name (ex.: ‘taurus.qt.qtgui.base’)
‘icon’ : a string representing valid resource icon (ex.: ‘designer:combobox.png’)
‘container’a bool telling if this widget is a container widget or
not.

This default implementation returns the following dictionary:

{ 'group'     : 'Taurus [Unclassified]',
  'icon'      : 'logos:taurus.png',
  'container' : False }

Returns:: a map with pertinent designer information
Return type:: dict

getTimeout()[source]: Returns the number of seconds to wait for the result of the command (or -1 if timeout is disabled)

onClicked(value=0)[source]

resetCommand()[source]: equivalent to self.setCommand(None)

resetCustomText()[source]: Equivalent to setCustomText(None)

resetParameters()[source]: Equivalent to setParameters([])

resetTimeout()[source]: Equivalent to setTimeout(None)

setCommand(commandName)[source]

sets the command to be executed when the button is clicked

Parameters:: commandName (str or None) – the command name

setCustomText(customText=None)[source]

Sets a custom text for the button (by default it is the command name)

Parameters:: customText (str or None) – the custom text. If None passed, it will use the command name

setParameters(parameters)[source]

Sets the parameters to be used on command execution.

Parameters:: parameters (sequence) – a sequence of parameters. If the elements of the sequence are not of the right type required for the parameter, an automatic conversion will be attempted on execution time. As a special case, if parameters is a string not starting and ending in quote characters, it will be splitted on whitespace to obtain a sequence of parameters. If it is a string starting and ending with quotes, the quotes will be removed and the quoted text will not be splitted.

setTimeout(timeout)[source]

Sets the number of seconds to wait for the result of the command.
