I have considered adding just such a feature, a page called Templates 
on the Palette. In the Preferences you would specify a directory for 
your templates.

Nasty bug :(

The quickest fix is to move the suppressWindowId class attribute 
from BaseCompanions.ControlDTC (line 525 for me) to
BaseCompanions.DesignTimeCompanion (line 69).

Thanks,
Riaan.

[Boa Constr] Minor Boa Bug

[Bell J. <jbe...@ya...>]

I tend to design my frames and dialogs from templates
for consistency, efficiency and QA reasons.  Thus I
oftem change the specifics of copy of a template to
generate the skeleton of a new frame.  When changing a
frame id for a frame with a menu bar I get:

[Boa Constr] Gtk Related Notebook Bug

[Bell J. <jbe...@ya...>]

With the latest Boa CVS if a notebook is added to a
frame, and seversl pages each with a pPage panel are
added, then whenever the designer is invoked the
following error is generated once for each page in the
notebook:

Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkcontainer.c: line 726
(gtk_container_remove): assertion `container != NULL'
failed.

[Boa Constr] A couple of wxGTK Bugs

[Bell J. <jbe...@ya...>]

Hi Riaan,

Test driving the latest Boa CVS (downloaded 13 Apr) I
found a couple of Gtk problems:

(1) Setting the menu bar property for a frame results
in the following errors on Post:

** CRITICAL **: file ../src/gtk/win_gtk.c: line 823
(gtk_pizza_remove): assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)'
failed.

Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkwidget.c: line 4871
(gtk_widget_ref): assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)'
failed.

Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkwidget.c: line 1251
(gtk_widget_unparent): assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET
(widget)' failed.

Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkwidget.c: line 1692
(gtk_widget_unrealize): assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET
(widget)' failed.

Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkwidget.c: line 1388
(gtk_widget_destroy): assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET
(widget)' failed.

(2) Blanking the 'Value' in a wxTextCtrl after
changing the style to wxTE_MULTILINE in the
constructor immediately results in the following error
and the field is not cleared.  Oddly, if I change to
some other styles the value is still not cleared, but
I don't get the Gtk error.  Do the Value change first
and all is OK.:

Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtktext.c: line 906
(gtk_text_get_length): assertion `GTK_IS_TEXT (text)'
failed.

Re: [Boa Constr] Zope installation guide

[Robert B. <ro...@bl...>]

Access Zope Objects:

1.) Import the file zoa.zexp, located in Boas subdirectory ZopeLib into the 
Root of your Zope using the import feature of the ZMI.

2.) Add/Configure a new Zope Instance in the Boa Explorer Transports/Zope 
Branch via Inspector

3.) Use it.

Debug running Zope:

1.) Open z2.py in Editor
2.) In the Editor select File - Set Command Line Parameters
     Enter at least -D and evt. other stuff like -P 10000 for another port 
offset and -t 1 for threading
3.) Start it via File-Debug module
4.) enter breakpoints in even multithreaded environments via a code line 
like this:

import sys
if hasattr(sys,'breakpoint'): sys.breakpoint()

I noticed, that when the debugger once has stopped at a hard coded 
breakpoint, you can use the soft breakpoints also from that moment on.

Hope this helps

[Boa Constr] wxSizer, nested sizers and spacers

[Bell J. <jbe...@ya...>]

I'm trying to move from using layout constraints to
the wonderful world of wxSizers.  However, I have come
across what is undoubtedly a pretty basic problem that
I can't see my way through.

The problem boils down to the behaviour of spacers in
nested sizers.

If I create a wxStaticText control (lbl1) and a
wxTextCtrl (fld1) I can lay them out vertically with
spacers above and below with:

box=wxBoxSizer(wxVERTICAL)
box.Add(1,1,1,wxEXPAND)        
box.Add(self.lbl1)
box.Add(self.fld1)
box.Add(1,1,1,wxEXPAND)
self.SetAutoLayout(true)
self.SetSizer(box)
self.Layout()

Changing wxVERTICAL to wxHORIZONTAL works fine too. 
However, if boxes are nested as in:

box=wxBoxSizer(wxVERTICAL)
box2=wxBoxSizer(wxHORIZONTAL)
box2.Add(1,1,1,wxEXPAND)        
box2.Add(self.lbl1)
box2.Add(self.fld1)
box2.Add(1,1,1,wxEXPAND)
box.Add(1,1,1,wxEXPAND)
box.Add(box2)
box.Add(1,1,1,wxEXPAND)
self.SetAutoLayout(true)
self.SetSizer(box)
self.Layout()

the vertical layout is as expected, but the spacers in
the nested box (box2) don't expand.  Ie. everything's
on the left.  I assumed that a Layout() on box and/or
box2 was required but can find no combination that
works.

Thanks in Advance,
John Bell

It so happens I like that part of it best.   It would have been a horrid
thing
to see, for instance, a "Visual Basic" clone using Python.

(VB is evil. "VB-only" programmers are either under some kind of evil spell,
or suffering from brain damage. Enough said.)

Now, on the other hand, if you think it should be more like a Java IDE, it
seems to me that most of the better Java IDEs have stolen the "Delphi"
component pallette style of IDE also.

Sincerely Yours, a Boa Fan, who is also a Delphi/Kylix fan, and who hates
VB,
and just about every other Microsoft product (except their ergonomic
keyboards),

Cheers.

[Boa Constr] MDI Interface?

[Markus M. <me...@me...>]

Hi,

I just tried the current CVS version of Boa, and first of all, thanks to
you for this really nice piece of software. The only thing that I don't
like about it (and this is solely ment to be constructive), is its
Delphi-like interface (Please let me know, if this discussion has
already taken place, or if this interface is a strong part of your
design philosophy, and I will shut up :-)

In my (of course very subjective view), this interface has at least the
following disadvantages over the (now fairly standard) dockable/mdi/tab
interface (as seen in Visual Studio .NET, KDeveloper or some commercial
Python GUIs):

- Showing more than one source file at the same time is difficult or
impossible, because window borders have to be manually resized.
- Accidentially clicking/draging a window border/titlebar has desastrous
results
- It is crucial for a RAD tool to have seamless and simultaneous access
to multiple views of the project, f.e.
explorer/properties/documentation/source/todo list at the same time.
- The dialog editor should be in a separate, size-bounded window (with
scrollbars). Have you ever tried to construct a fullscreen dialog with
Boa? (aka "Where are my properties!?")
- All those borders and title bars eat up space (and look ugly, too).
- For extensibility, it is important to have the opportunity of allowing
add-ins to add floating/docking windows on the fly without having the
user to resize all windows.
- The debug window, although great in its functionality, is a perfect
example, for what's wrong with the GUI: Who says, I want to see only the
Stack trace _or_ the Breakpoints? In this context, the "toggle split
orientation" button looks like a unhappy workaround to overcome a
fundamental limitation.
- On Windows, the taskbar is polluted with a unnecessary large amount of
windows that all belong to the same program. If I switch to some other
window (f.e. the web browser, or my mail client), I have to click at
least 3 taskbar buttons to recover the IDE.
- Although I don't really know the Delphi GUI, I seem to remember that
even this GUI has some options to overcome the above limitations
("always stay on top" etc.), that I am missing in Boa.

Please let me know what you think about it.

[Boa Constr] Testing Boa 1.1a

[ufechner <ufe...@cs...>]

Hallo boa-constructor-users,

I am just testing boa 1.1a on win2k with python 2.2.

It works great.

I am a delphi developer, and even compared to the (expensive) delphi
IDE boa-constructor seams to be fast, and has many features, delphi
doesn't have.

Before I had installed 1.0. To upgrade, I checked out the cvs version
into a separte directory, renamed the old boa directory, and copied the
new boa at the same place.

Then I copied the Docs folder from my old installation over the new
Docs folder, and the file Boa.pyw, that was missing in the cvs, and
everything works fine.

Now I have one little problem:

I tried to compile the example notebook, and get the following error
when running the application:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "wxApp1.py", line 24, in ?
    main()
  File "wxApp1.py", line 19, in main
    application = BoaApp(0)
  File "C:\Python22\lib\site-packages\wxPython\wx.py", line 1587, in __init__
    _wxStart(self.OnInit)
  File "wxApp1.py", line 13, in OnInit
    self.main = wxFrame1.create(None)
  File "wxFrame1.py", line 8, in create
    return wxFrame1(parent)
  File "wxFrame1.py", line 71, in __init__
    self._init_ctrls(parent)
  File "wxFrame1.py", line 64, in _init_ctrls
    self.statusBar1 = wxStatusBar(size = wxDefaultSize, parent = self, pos = wxPoint(56, 104), name = 'statusBar1', style = 0, id = wxID_WXFRAME1STATUSBAR1)
  File "C:\Python22\lib\site-packages\wxPython\stattool.py", line 55, in __init__
    self.this = apply(stattoolc.new_wxStatusBar,_args,_kwargs)
TypeError: 'pos' is an invalid keyword argument for this function
10:59:21: Debug: c:\Projects\wx\src\msw\app.cpp(535): 'UnregisterClass(canvas)' failed with error 0x00000584 (diese Klasse hat noch geöffnete Fenster.).

I am using wxPython-2.3.2.1-Py22-hybrid.

Any idea?

Uwe

Re: [Boa Constr] <<<<<<< syntax in Boa.py,v 1.29

[Blaine L. <bl...@te...>]

Evidently the following happened (in order)
You checked out Boa version 0.1.0
You modified a few lines of code
One of the developers modified some of the same lines of code (and cvs commit'ed
them)
You did an cvs update (cvs then flags those lines that have been modified by both
you and a developer if cvs cant figure out how to resolve it (most of the time))

Note:  Once you resolve the conflicts, you can do a 'cvs update' to see the files
that still have some of your modifications, or 'cvs diff'  to see what is left of
your changes.

between <<<<<<<   and  ========  is your version of the lines
between ======= and >>>>>>>>> is the developers version
>>>>> x.xx  x.xx is the version of the file

Now:
pick one set of lines to delete and the lines with <,= and >.

[Boa Constr] Is the new debugger working with wxWindows?

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

Ok, I figured it out...  The debugger does not start a second instance of
wxWindows main loop on non-multitasking OS's.  (IE: Win9x,ME)  I ran the
wxApp on W2K and the debugger worked just fine.

[Boa Constr] Please Disregard Previous Message

[Bell J. <jbe...@ya...>]

Please disregard my previous request re adding
notebook pages and widgets to those pages. 
Unfortunately I misinterpreted the meaning of the
advice in the "Component Notes" page.  Riaan, perhaps
this could be altered to state more directly that the
notebook must be saved prior to adding pages.  The
current wording is fairly elliptical.  Or maybe it's
just me.

I now have 0.1.1a and just completed a run through the tutorial.  Feel like I

Any clues here?

Re: [Boa Constr] wxMenu fails to call with CollectionDTC

[Bell J. <jbe...@ya...>]

Hi Bill,

This is a Python2.2 related bug.  This is fixed in the
latest CVS (ie. 0.1.1a).  If you have 0.1.0a I'd
advise downloading the CVS.  I tested it last night
and got through the tutorial successfully with
Python2.2 and wxPython2.3.2.  Some error messages
still come up during the Tutorial, but it produces
working code.

If for some reason you need to stay with 0.1.0a, Riaan
posted the following fix some time ago:

[Boa Constr] wxMenu fails to call with CollectionDTC

[Bill B. <bi...@kg...>]

Working thru the tutorial and got the following error message when adding 
wxMenu to data view.  Happens each time I select the widget.  It does appear, 
however, in the data view window

The error message is repeated when selecting the menu entry in data view.
The inspector does not come up. 

Dead in the water at this point.

Re: [Boa Constr] SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing

[Bill B. <bi...@kg...>]

This problem resolved!  My error.  (aren't they all)  >:)

Ran 'dos2unix -U *.* on the boa directories.   No effect.

Some place I saw the run instruction as:
cd <boa directory>
python ./Boa.py

What works is 'python Boa.py'

Also changed owner of /usr/local/boa to non-root.
 
Thanks much for the comments on this non-problem.

BTW, I made reference to an install of Mandrake 8.2 final.  This doesn't work.
Fortunately, I didn't throw away copies of 8.2.beta4.  Solid so far.

Regards,
-Bill
