I am currently building a custom UI window to aid in the production of a short film, I thought it was a good place to begin learning how to program MEL. However when I try to implement the shelfLayout object, I can’t seem to work out how to save the items that i drag into the shelf , when i close the window.
Can anyone shed any light on this please
Thanks

try the “saveShelf” command;
// Create a window with a shelf in it.
//
string $window = `window`;
string $tabs = `tabLayout`;
string $shelf = `shelfLayout`;
shelfButton -image1 "commandButton.xpm" -command ("print \"Hello\\n\"");
tabLayout -edit -tabLabel $shelf "Example Shelf" $tabs;
showWindow $window;
// At this point the example would be made more interesting if you
// put some additional items on this shelf.
// Now save the shelf in the temp directory.
//
string $tempDir = `internalVar -userTmpDir`;
saveShelf $shelf ($tempDir + "ExampleShelf");
in that example it saves the shelf immediately after creating the window if you run the entire thing, but you can take the saveShelf command and make it work with a button, etc.
hope that helps! :)
