Thanks, for the (somewhat depressing ;) report, I'll look at these

Everyone, I'm leaving for America (Houston, Texas) for 3 months, 
Boa development will continue (as time permits), but I only expect

Keep smiling, I think that many of us don't like such 'special cases' 
within our software :-)
They produces troubles only, they need additional testing, they 
decreases quality of software
 .. and usually they are not neccessary, of course :-)

In my opinion keeping compatibility with older versions of wxPython and 
Python is not neccessary.
I think that current wxPython (and optionally the previous one) will be 
enough.
I hope that it's not only my opinion :-)

Great.

I tried getting it from CVS, but the sourceforge CVS server appears to
be down :-(.

Used the zip file.  Boa starts and works fine.

I got one crash in the designer.  Try if you can reproduce it:
	- create a wxSplitterWindow, containing a wxListBox and a
	  wxTreeCtrl.
	- "Cut" the wxTreeCtrl and use "Paste"

I get a gtk error, thus this could be a problem in wxPython.

Later it also crashed when trying to create a wxWindow inside a
wxNotebook in the designer.  Error:

	Gtk-WARNING **: invalid class type `void' in cast to `GtkObject'
	Segmentation fault

If you can't reproduce this I'll try to get more info.

No it was a plain old wxPython bug, dormant under Python 2.1 but
an error under 2.2

Actually this problem is just a tiny typo in buttons.py,

  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/wxPython/lib/buttons.py", 
    line 154, in SetBackgroundColour

    wxWindow.SetBackgroundColour(self, colour)

    wxControl.SetBackgroundColour(self, colour)

Pleasure :)

But on to your problem, I just saw that a last minute change to Palette.py
broke the special casing for the spesific versions where this problem
occurs. These things always happen right before a release :(

Luckily not many people are still on 2.3.2, but it's a cold comfort.

Fix checked in, if you want to do in by hand, in Palette.py line 25, change

if sys.version[:2] == '2.2' and wxVERSION == (2,3,2):

to 

if sys.version[:3] == '2.2' and wxVERSION == (2,3,2):

[Boa Constr] [ANN] Boa Constructor 0.2.0

[Riaan B. <ri...@tb...>]

Hello everyone,

I'm proud to announce the release of Boa Constructor 0.2.0!

Boa Constructor is a Python IDE and RAD GUI builder for wxPython.

Major changes since the previous release:
* Feature full, stable, out of process debugger.
  Includes specialised Zope support like stepping though and
  breaking into Zope Python scripts.
* Major refactorings to make most of the modules pluggable and
  optional. e.g. You may turn off all wxPython/Zope development support
  for pure Python (or Tkinter) centric development.
  All plug-ins and settings can be managed through the GUI.
* Many other improvements and fixes to the Explorer, Designer and Editor.
* New optional plug-ins like LinkApps, Pyrex support, Image editor,
  RegistryExplorer (read-only), limited XRC support and more.
* Improved documentation

You can get it from:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1909&release_id=133431

Or visit the web site at:
http://boa-constructor.sourceforge.net

Enjoy,

Yes, almost ;)

You have to add separators by modifying the generated source, but don't
change the id definition section, leave that definition alone.

It does :)

Go to the part where the menu item is defined in the generated source
and change the id from e.g. WXFRAME1MENUFILEITEMS2 to wxID_SEPARATOR.

The Boa code explicitly handle leaving known wxWindows identifiers alone.

[Boa Constr] Using Separator in Menu

[CEZARD Y. <Yan...@if...>]

Hi everyone !

I found a little problem when wanting to put separators in menus.
For having separators, the MenuItem ID must be wxID_SEPARATOR.
But the problem is that when giving this value in the Constr tab
of the Inspector, Boa will append something like wxID_WXFRAME1MENUFILE
at the beginning of the ID value...
Morever, it can be solved by editing sourcecode, but each time I would
make modifications using the Inspector, the sourcecode will be modified
and wxID_SEPARATOR would be declared in the id list (like this :
[wxID_SEPARATOR, wxID_WXFRAME1MENUFILEITEMS3,
wxID_WXFRAME1MENUFILEOPEN_FILE,
wxID_WXFRAME1MENUFILESAVE_FILE] = map(lambda _init_coll_menuFile_Items:
wxNewId(),
range(4))
)

And so, the separator doesn't work... (wxID_SEPARATOR is already a wx
constants,
so it must not be redeclared).
I know it is easy to correct this after each modification (by deleting
wxID_SEPARATOR from the list and replacing "range(4)" by "range(3)"),
but I think it could be a good idea to support this ID option directly in
Boa...

Yann

More an issue of shells/running external processes than multitasking.

If I recall correctly the wxProcess bug was caused by code trying to
hide the console window for GUI applications (but hiding your main window
instead).

I was very glad to remove this "magic" from the templates after 2.3.3
fixed the problem in wxProcess.

I don't want to add it again, especially not just for win9X which I
don't rate as an development platform at all :(

Ok, I've added it again (with a verbose comment)

Yes, since 2.3.3 a few controls on wxGTK report their positions differently
from the mouse event.

> Is there a workaround for this

No, unfortunately in the mouse event, the sender of the event is reported
as the control parent, but the position is reported relative to the
child. From this conflicting infomation Boa cannot work out the correct
position info.

These are definitely bugs in wxGTK/wxWindows (in my opinion), and I've
commited myself to writing complete report of which controls misbehave
and how (I think) they should behave. Unfortunately I've not written this
report yet (no time) so I doubt anybody is fixing anything yet.

Sorry,
Riaan.

Argh! I have to conclude that this never worked properly :(

The first part worked correctly, the source was correctly updated,
but previously the menu item label just silently failed to update.
Now it raises an assertion exception.

I'll have to write a new property editor routing type to handle this case.

I've checked in code to not attempt to update the label, just update the
source for now (effectively as it worked before), until I've written this
router.

Thanks for the report,
Riaan.

[Boa Constr] Moving controls around

[Gerrit V. D. <Ger...@de...>]

Hi all,

I am using the latest Boa on Redhat Linux 7.2 with python 2.2 and wxPython
2.3.4.

I am trying to move a control to a different position on a frame but
whenever the mouse, during the move, goes over another control on the frame,
the control being moved moves to the top left corner of the frame. This did
not happen with previous versions of Boa and wxPython 2.3.2. It happens
especially with buttons and static text. Is there a workaround for this
stange behaviour?

RE: [Boa Constr] Run Application function on Windows 98/Millenium

[Kevin L. <kl...@wa...>]

Marius,

I think this problem goes back a little way...

Let me clarify that, I can create a wxApp, and run it on ME without any
problems, on all python/wxpython versions, and the current version of Boa=
.

When 0.0.13 was released, I experienced a problem where older application=
s
created with pre .13 Boa would not run because the show;hide;show was
missing from the BoaApp:OnInit function.  The Boa produced code would wor=
k
just fine on W2K or XP(real multitasking).  New applications did not
exhibit the problem, because Boa automagically added the "magic" code to
fix the problem.

Make sure in the OnInit fuction there is a line such as:
self.main.Show();self.main.Hide();self.main.Show()

If this is not the problem, please give us a little more detail or, if yo=
u
don't mind, create a small app, and I'll give it a try.

Kevin

Basically if the Test completes to the point of generating code,
it has passed 95% of the test.

The output is compared to output generated on Windows.
On Linux things like the ClientSize would be different.

I may also add Linux generated code to the test although I'm
tempted to drop the source comparision test as things like
different window managers can lead to different code.
(I bet it also fails on WinXP in teletubby mode)

Maybe adding special markers (e.g. %) to the comparison string
to indicate parts which should not be compared...

Actually I checked in the core docs (apphelp and tutorial) into CVS
this morning so you should have them from the checkout.

The other docs (Python, wxPython, CVS and Zope) total more than 30 megs
by now, there is now way they will ever go into CVS.

To install them *only* requires extracting the zip (from the SourceForge
downloads page) into the Boa directory, so it cannot be simplified further.

I don't have access to Windows 9X anymore (I've never even 
seen Millenium), so I'm not sure I'm ever gonna fix it :(

popen has known problems on Win9X, but it has worked for me before.

Please write a simple test case using os.popen3 to run that file. 
If it works, there is hope, if not, there're not much I can do about it.

Maybe it's time to drop popen for wxProcess, but I don't want to do that 
before the release (I have enough todos)

Cheers,
Riaan.

Hello Marius,

It works, at last, I was dreading the next issue ;)

Yup, the new compositeCtrl flag :)

za == South Africa

I think it's from the old (Dutch) spelling: Zuid Afrika.

Cheers,
Riaan.

[Boa Constr] Run Application function on Windows 98/Millenium

[Marius T. <ma...@it...>]

That's a different issue.

 I installed Boa on windows 98 and Millenium and there is an odd 
problem. If I push the Run Application Button on editor, or F9, or 
File/Run Application, nothing happens. The application won't start, even 
though the status bar shows Running...

On windows 2000 & XP no problem.

Riaan, you don't have to fix it today:)

Yeah, I figured it out, but I tried your fix and now it's fine. And I 
can select the wxGrid now in Linux:)

By the way, what country is .za?

Deja vu...

Talk about corner cases! This only happens on Python 2.2/wxPython 2.3.2.

My test setup has Python 2.1/wxPython 2.3.2
and Python 2.2/wxPython 2.3.4

I used to use a patched buttons.py in ExternalLib but removed that
because it didn't *seem* necessary anymore. 

Ok I've checked in a very spesific version test to Palette.py now,
see if it works please.

Phew, glad I didn't release yet, thanks for catching these!

Cheers,
Riaan.
