Hi!

I need the user to have access to a python script they need to use in Maya to work with my HDA. How can I have a text that can be copied in my HDA? I tried a "message" parameter but I can't highlight the text in the UI so I can't copy it...

Try the multi string instead.

ah, works nicely. Is there a way to lock the text so it can't be edited by the user? (accidents happens)

Maybe a Label parameter type and a button to copy its contents?

That would be nice but I know nothing about setting that up and I also have zero knowlege in Python. But if you have detailed steps to achieve this, I would try it out.

Have you inspected the HDA attached to my last post? It's all there.
