Filtering DPs using dpSelector()

Post by tgdannemiller »

Is there a way to pass a DP name filter to dpSelector(), in addition to the DPT filter? The panel that dpSelector() opens has a field for both a DPT filter and a DP filter, but there doesn't seem to be a way to preset the DP filter field. I want to limit the selection to not only a certain DPT, but also to only certain DPs of that DP type, and I want to specify the DP filter from the script, not require the user to type it in the dpSelector panel.

Any suggestions?

Just assign your dp filter to the first argument before calling the dpSelector.

Wow, that's excellent. I didn't realize that a DP filter value could be passed in the first parameter. I had looked at the help for the dpSelector() function but didn't catch that aspect from it. I've looked again and it does says some things about the &s parameter, but it's not very obvious. Anyway, thanks!
