How to use MES Schedule View showEditor() hideEditor() extension functions

Step-by-step guide

In this example showEditor() will work like this
showEditor() will not let you save if you selected a specific workday (from the dropdown)

Copy Code

Python

	# Force schedules to always start at the current time regardless of where was clicked
	import datetime
	dateTime.setTime(system.date.now().getTime())
	
	# Don't let scheduled be created from work orders
	if workOrderLink is not None:
		return False
	
	# Don't let schedules be created when its Thursday
	# Sun 6 Mon 0 Tue 1 Wed 2 Thu 3 Fri 4 Sat 5
	import datetime
	today = datetime.datetime.today()
	allow = self.parent.getComponent('Dropdown').selectedValue
	print "working with today [%s]/today.weekday [%d] and scrapped [%d]" % (today,today.weekday(), allow)
	
	if today.weekday() == allow:
		return False
	
	return True

Python

	obj = scheduleItem.getMESEquipmentObject()
	
	# False can also be returned to prevent the window from being closed on saved
	
	if scheduleItem.getEquipmentPath().endswith('Some'):
		print 'Cannot Schedule an operation on line %s' % scheduleItem.getEquipmentPath()
		return False
		
	return True
