Hi, I am testing Boa on my Mandrake linux (10.0). After the installation I tried to follow the help file but it seems that the major component "designer" is no where to be found. (there's no icon for me to click to show it). I am not sure if this is related to the following: when I started Boa Constructor, there's a line showed up in the terminal saying: (Boa.py:2961): Gtk-WARNING **: module_path directive is now ignored I tried to locate line #2961 but found that my Boa.py has only 657 lines. Can anyone help ? thx in advance. pan |

Hi Pan, What version of Boa are you using? If not 0.3.1, I suggest you get that from http://boa-constructor.sourceforge.net/ Also note that the help file is a bit out of date if you use recent versions. I am on Windows but I would guess that the icon would be in the same place, in Editor window, the 12th icon from the left is a little arrow pointing to the top left and its tooltip is "Frame Designer". Hope this helps Werner Pan wrote: > Hi, > > I am testing Boa on my Mandrake linux (10.0).

But I still can't find the icon you mentioned. On my Boa, the 12th icon from the left on the editor is not for the designer, but for 'Save modified modules' (a stack of floppy disks). The version is 0.3.1. See the following details: # Python 2.3.3 (#2, Feb 17 2004, 11:45:40) [GCC 3.3.2 (Mandrake Linux 10.0 3.3.2-6mdk)] # wxPython 2.4.2.4, Boa Constructor 0.3.1 # Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. I am not sure if it's Boa's problem or something related to some Gtk installation. Unfortunately, I just migrated from Windows in less a month. It's far beyond my capacity to identify an error source in Linux. pan |

Hi Pan, your installation of Boa is obviously corrupted. Besides, as far as I know, the version of Boa available as a mandrake rpm package is outdated. download boa from CVS as is explained in the wiki. that will solve all your problems. good luck, Flavio On Monday 27 September 2004 16:49, Werner F.

Hi Flávio, Did you notice that Pan is on 0.3.1? As far as I can see that is the latest version of Boa.

The only thing I can think of is that you may not be aware that Boa's menus and toolbar is dependent on the currently active file in the Editor. So e.g. if you have a new wxFrame module as the active file, the Designer should be available via File->Frame Designer, the Designer toolbar button or by pressing F12.

Hi Riaan, Thx for your explanation. You are right, I didn't know that the designer is available only when there is a wxFrame module opened. I came from Delphi and Visual Basic, and in my memory, something like the designer is available whenever you launch the application, and something like wxFrame is a component the user added onto the designer. That means that the designer should be available BEFORE wxFrame. It's this deeply rooted experience, together with the impression that Boa was inspired by Delphi, made me have a preset mind that Boa should have worked like Delphi. So, the Boa Constructor is designed in a slightly different way than that of Delphi and VB. The designer window is available only when some modules are open: wxFrame, form, or dialog. I thank those people who helped, and apologize for my overlook of this difference. Something regarding the designer is still quite confusing, cos in the help file, it says that there are 3 designers in Boa: Designer, DataView, Collection Editors. The first one shouldn't be called 'Designer', 'cos it's the name of the category containing all 3 items. The 3rd one shouldn't be called "Editor" either, 'cos in Boa, there's another window called "Editor" already. IMHO, the naming here is gonna cause a lot of confusion. pan |
