I am making a gui in maya using python script but i am not getting the expected output.

I want to display that Submit Button outside the Tab layout but i am doing something wrong .Can anyone correct me ?

End of the first text field i want to add a button choose like added in expected output .

code:

import maya.cmds as cmds # Make a new window window = cmds.window( title="Render", iconName='BTD', widthHeight= (400,500),titleBar=True,minimizeButton=True,maximizeButton=True ) cmds.columnLayout( adjustableColumn=True) form = cmds.formLayout() tabs = cmds.tabLayout(innerMarginWidth=10, innerMarginHeight=10) cmds.formLayout(form,edit=True,attachForm=((tabs, 'top', 0), (tabs, 'left', 0), (tabs, 'bottom', 0), (tabs, 'right', 0)) ) child1 = cmds.rowColumnLayout(numberOfColumns=2) cmds.button(label='1') cmds.button(label='2') cmds.button(label='3') cmds.button(label='9') cmds.button(label='9') cmds.button(label='9') cmds.button(label='9') cmds.button(label='9') cmds.setParent( '..' ) child2 = cmds.rowColumnLayout(numberOfColumns=1,columnOffset = (1,'left',10)) #cmds.text("Output Directory",width = 50,height=50,font = "boldLabelFont") cmds.text("Output Directory",width=200, height=50,font="boldLabelFont", align='left') name = cmds.textField(w = 300,h = 20) cmds.text("Notify on job completion",width = 200,height=50,font = "boldLabelFont",align='left') name = cmds.textField(w = 370,h = 20) cmds.setParent( '..' ) child3 = cmds.rowColumnLayout(numberOfColumns=2) cmds.button(label='7') cmds.button(label='8') cmds.button(label='9') cmds.setParent( '..' ) cmds.tabLayout( tabs, edit=True, tabLabel=((child1, 'General'), (child2, 'Advanced'),(child3, 'Job Software')) ) cmds.setParent( '..' ) #cmds.setParent( '..' ) cmds.button("Submit Job",width=100, height=50, align='right') cmds.showWindow( window )

Im not using setParent command, it is too confusing for me, I've corrected you problem by adding parent flag in : form and cmds.button("Submit Job....)" Most of the time im using column and row layout only

import maya.cmds as cmds # Make a new window window = cmds.window( title="Render", iconName='BTD', widthHeight= (400,500),titleBar=True,minimizeButton=True,maximizeButton=True ) cmds.columnLayout( adjustableColumn=True) columnMain = cmds.columnLayout() # <<================================ form = cmds.formLayout(p=columnMain) tabs = cmds.tabLayout(innerMarginWidth=10, innerMarginHeight=10) cmds.formLayout(form,edit=True,attachForm=((tabs, 'top', 0), (tabs, 'left', 0), (tabs, 'bottom', 0), (tabs, 'right', 0)) ) child1 = cmds.rowColumnLayout(numberOfColumns=2) cmds.button(label='1') cmds.button(label='2') cmds.button(label='3') cmds.button(label='9') cmds.button(label='9') cmds.button(label='9') cmds.button(label='9') cmds.button(label='9') cmds.setParent( '..' ) child2 = cmds.rowColumnLayout(numberOfColumns=1,columnOffset = (1,'left',10)) #cmds.text("Output Directory",width = 50,height=50,font = "boldLabelFont") cmds.text("Output Directory",width=200, height=50,font="boldLabelFont", align='left') name = cmds.textField(w = 300,h = 20) cmds.text("Notify on job completion",width = 200,height=50,font = "boldLabelFont",align='left') name = cmds.textField(w = 370,h = 20) cmds.setParent( '..' ) child3 = cmds.rowColumnLayout(numberOfColumns=2) cmds.button(label='7') cmds.button(label='8') cmds.button(label='9') cmds.setParent( '..' ) cmds.tabLayout( tabs, edit=True, tabLabel=((child1, 'General'), (child2, 'Advanced'),(child3, 'Job Software')) ) cmds.setParent( '..' ) #cmds.setParent( '..' ) cmds.button("Submit Job",width=100, height=50, align='right', p=columnMain) # <<================================ cmds.showWindow( window )

EDIT -----

Here is example of how many layout, I would use : row/colum (note that the red rectangle is the tab widget)

EDIT 2 -----

here a code example :

import maya.cmds as cmds # Make a new window window = cmds.window( title="Render", iconName='BTD', widthHeight=(400,500),titleBar=True,minimizeButton=True,maximizeButton=True ) # 1.0 columnMain = cmds.columnLayout() # the cyan rectangle # 1.1 : First WIDGET : Conductor refresh - light green conductorLayout = cmds.rowLayout(numberOfColumns=2, p=columnMain) cmds.button(label='image', width=350, p=conductorLayout) cmds.button(label='refresh', p=conductorLayout) #1.2 : Second WIDGET : tab widget - in red form = cmds.formLayout(p=columnMain) tabs = cmds.tabLayout(innerMarginWidth=5, innerMarginHeight=5, p=form) # 1.2.1 : first tab widget - blue color child1 = cmds.columnLayout(p=tabs) # 1.2.1.2 : the green one with image picker cmds.button(p=child1) pickpath = cmds.rowLayout(numberOfColumns=2, p=child1) name = cmds.textField(w = 370,h = 20, p=pickpath) cmds.button( label='Submit Job',width=130,align='right', p=pickpath) cmds.button(p=child1) # 1.2.2 : second tab widget - blue Color child2 = cmds.rowColumnLayout(numberOfColumns=2,p=tabs) cmds.button(p=child2) cmds.button(p=child2) cmds.tabLayout( tabs, edit=True, tabLabel=((child1, 'One'),(child2, 'Two'))) #1.3 Pink submit_widget = cmds.rowLayout(numberOfColumns=2, p=columnMain) cmds.checkBox(label='Scout Job', p=submit_widget) cmds.button( label='Submit Job',width=130,align='right', p=submit_widget) cmds.showWindow()
