What would a good way to disable the Data Probe for some specific modules? Is there a utility function for that? Thank you!

slicer.util has this function:

github.com

Slicer/Slicer/blob/ff1ddf56348592270badea02b0ecddfee23d9c7a/Base/Python/slicer/util.py#L2245


def setApplicationLogoVisible(visible):
  """Show/hide application logo at the top of module panel."""
  widget = findChild(mainWindow(), "LogoLabel")
  widget.setVisible(visible)


def setModuleHelpSectionVisible(visible):
  """Show/hide Help section at the top of module panel."""
  modulePanel = findChild(mainWindow(), "ModulePanel")
  modulePanel.helpAndAcknowledgmentVisible = visible


def setDataProbeVisible(visible):
  """Show/hide Data probe at the bottom of module panel."""
  widget = findChild(mainWindow(), "DataProbeCollapsibleWidget")
  widget.setVisible(visible)

which you can use with detecting when your module is entered/exited to hide the data probe. This can be done by defining the enter() / exit() functions in your module. See:

github.com

Slicer/Slicer/blob/2b25e080bce23609710ad87a82030d3fe01c4286/Modules/Scripted/SegmentEditor/SegmentEditor.py#L119


    if compositeNode.GetBackgroundVolumeID():
      return compositeNode.GetBackgroundVolumeID()
  # Use first background volume node in any of the displayed layouts
  for layoutName in layoutManager.sliceViewNames():
    compositeNode = self.getCompositeNode(layoutName)
    if compositeNode.GetForegroundVolumeID():
      return compositeNode.GetForegroundVolumeID()
  # Not found anything
  return None


def enter(self):
  """Runs whenever the module is reopened
  """
  if self.editor.turnOffLightboxes():
    slicer.util.warningDisplay('Segment Editor is not compatible with slice viewers in light box mode.'
      'Views are being reset.', windowTitle='Segment Editor')


  # Allow switching between effects and selected segment using keyboard shortcuts
  self.editor.installKeyboardShortcuts()


  # Set parameter set node if absent

Thank you! Very simple.

In the module panel you can disable and hide the help and acknowledgement section. Similarly for a active module, lets say ‘Landmarkregistration’ module, I want to hide the ‘local refinement’ and ‘Registration’, two collapsible frames. How can I do that?
I understand somehow I have to find the name of those the widgets and then make visible false. But i could not find a way to find the names of those items.
