Yes, I am not getting the subsequent dialogs. Turning off auto closing
definitely helps. Thanks.

Hello,

After the CVS Process dialog possibly two other dialogs should be
shown, the first the response on stderr shown as an warning dialog.
Second the results of the cvs operation (stdout) shown in a
wxScrolledMessageDialog.

Your dialogs are not showing for some reason.

It is expected for the CVS progress dialog to close when finished.
As a temporary measure you may turn off auto closing.

In CVSExplorer.CVSController.doCvsCmd, add the following named arg:

CVSPD = ProcessProgressDlg.ProcessProgressDlg(self.list, cmd,
   'CVS progress...', autoClose = false)

I got the latest CVSExplorer.py from CVS (1.15 2001/07/11 13:41:26 riaan).
And that *might* have reduced the number of red files, but I still have
plenty of them. This is based on a fuzzy memory of how many were red before
I updated from CVS, so I could be completely wrong. I'll try to debug this
if I get some free time. In the mean time, here are the main files that show
up as red. (There are plenty more in subfolders.) Maybe you can see a
pattern:

Browse.py
Bugs.txt
Changes.txt,
Credits.txt,
Explorer.msw.cfg,
GCFrame.py
HTMLCyclops.py
README.TXT
RunCyclops.py
Search.py
Todo.txt

It would be nice, but I don't know how to do that as Boa does not use
the cvs login command. For technical reasons passwords can't be passed
to running processes. I therefore emulate the login (by preparing the 
.cvspass file)

On your first cvs operation you will know whether your login was
correct.

[Boa Constr] CVS woes

[Patrick K. O'B. <po...@or...>]

I truly am trying to get CVS to work for me in Boa. Here are two areas that
are tripping me up at the moment.

1. Files in the CVS folder showing up with red icons to indicate they aren't
up-to-date. No amount of updating seems to fix this. For example, README.TXT
shows up as red, yet here is what the command line CVS status reports:

C:\Code\boa>cvs -z7 status README.TXT
===================================================================
File: README.TXT        Status: Up-to-date

   Working revision:    1.5
   Repository revision: 1.5     /cvsroot/boa-constructor/boa/README.TXT,v
   Sticky Tag:          (none)
   Sticky Date:         (none)
   Sticky Options:      (none)

2. The CVS dialog closes immediately upon completion of its task, keeping me
from being able to read its results. For example, if I select the README.TXT
file from the CVS folder in Boa, then click on the Status toolbar button,
then hit OK on the CVS command line dialog, the CVS progress... dialog box
comes up, the Waiting for response... progress bar fills up a few times,
something flashes in the text boxes and the dialog closes. If I do status on
the whole directory then I have barely enough time to see that text is
indeed being written to the two text boxes, so I know the CVS part is
working. Is this the expected behavior? The same thing happens with CVS
Logout.

The grid lines up controls' positions, not contents.
There is no concept in wxPython of internal control text alignment.

If you want to adjust a control's position on a pixel level, hold down
the Ctrl key and move the control with the cursor keys.

To move more than one control at a time, hold down the Shift key to
select multiple controls.

There is no such a control by default, this is a common request, I'll
see if I can add this to Boa as an example component (time permitting)

I've now added this :)
It's called StaticTextCtrl and it's on the 'User' Palette.

When you have a multiple selection, you may right-click and select
Align...

No, not for standard controls.

[Boa Constr] CVS Updated

[Riaan B. <riaan@e.co.za>]

Hi everyone,

Another update, major changes:

* Better integration between your source and generated source.
  There are 2 new features, I'm calling them advanced as they require
  manual maintenance of generated code, but it's actually quite simple.
  * Special attributes (from doc string):  

    Read special attributes from __init__ method.

    All instance attributes defined between the top of the
    __init__ method and the _init_ctrls() method call will be 
    available to the Designer as valid names bound to properties.

    For an attribute to qualify, it has to have a simple
    deduceable type (Python builtin or wxPython objects).
    If for example the attribute is bound to a variable passed in
    as a parameter, you have to first initialise it to a literal of
    the same type. This value will be used at design time.
    
    e.g. 
    def __init__(self, parent, myFrameCaption):
        self.frameCaption = 'Design time frame caption'
        self.frameCaption = myFrameCaption
        self._init_ctrls(parent)

    Now you may add this attribute by hand as a parameter or    
    property value in the source.

    In the Inspector property values recognised as special
    attributes will display as bold values and cannot be edited (yet).

  * Custom classes (from doc string):
    
    Read definition for Custom Classes

    Custom Classes can be defined as a class attribute named 
    _custom_classes containing a dictionary defining wxPython classes 
    and their custom equivalents, e.g.

    class wxFrame1(wxFrame):
        _custom_classes = {'wxTreeCtrl': ['MyTreeCtrl', 
                                          'AdvancedTreeCtrl']}

    These custom classes will then be available to the Designer
    and will act as equivalent to the corresponding wxPython class,
    but will generate source for the custom definition.

    One implication is that you loose the constructor. Because Boa
    will generate the creation code for the object the constructor
    signature has to be the same as the wxPython class.

  I've added examples of use to Examples/advanced/
  The best examples may be in Editor.py, Palette.py and especially
  Inspector.py. These modules have been refactored to use the
  new features and now have much greater design time interaction.

* CVSROOT selection dialog added
* Functions included in documentation view
* Added StaticTextCtrl example (User Palette)
  wxTextCtrl with an attached caption
* Lots of bug fixes

Problems that I'm aware of:
* Accelerator problems on GTK
* The Designer can still crash under specific circumstances on 2.3.0 :(

As there have been a lot of internal changes again, there may be 
breakage, please report any.

These changes are very cool for me because this is a direction I 
have wanted to take Boa in for a while now. 

Enjoy!

Means exactly the same as WinCVS, red means the file have a 
modification date bigger than their checkout date. In other words
modified after checkout.

I don't know why they would be modified, but doing a update will fix
the filedate if that is the only difference.

Your next mail message is the real clue. It seems that I may not call 
wxYield() from within a popup menu event call :(

I have found no workarounds, as I really want to call wxYield() 
where I do. Best advice for now, choose [Cancel] to supress further
warnings.

I do not use the HYBRID version as Boa runs VERY SLOW under the HYBRID
version. Also under HYBRID when Boa is run in Boa, it does not close
properly. 
Calling wxYield() in a menu event has no ill effects under the normal 
version as far as I can see.

The warning dialog (or wxYield :/) also seems to interfere with the 
dialogs after it, so it works without the warnings.
The only time there will be no response fram the server is for example
if you do a diff and there are no differences.

[Boa Constr] Alignment of Static Text and Text Controls

[Harnell, L. <lyn...@up...>]

Hi there

I noticed that when dragging static text and text controls into a frame,
that the grid setup does not allow the text in these to line up.

I also tried to find a caption option so that a text control could have an
attached descriptor or title text, but could not see anything that worked.

Is there a way to modify a setting somewhere in Boa in order get the grid
alignments so that text in different controls can line up?

Is there a caption option?

Thank you. That was the boost I needed to get me over the CVS hump. Now that
I have the command line cvs working, I have some questions about boa because
I still can't quite get it to work:

I did a brand new checkout of boa (from a dos prompt using the command line
cvs) and then opened boa and some of the boa source files are immediately
displaying in the CVS folder with a red icon. What is that all about?

When I select one of the files in the CVS folder, right click and select
Update or Status or Diff, I get a Debug dialog box (which gets hidden by the
editor window) that says

..\msw\app.cpp(1302): assert failed: wxYield called recursively
Do you want to stop the program?
You can also choose [Cancel] to suppress further warnings.

I select the No button and then get the CVS command line dialog which does
its thing and closes so fast that I can't tell what it did, or didn't, do.
Except that I would expect to see some results from status or diff and I
don't in boa while I do from the dos prompt. I actually think I get the
results in boa but the dialog closes immediately after it gets a response
back from the repository so I don't have time to see the result.

Hello everybody, I've updated Boa's help on CVS Explorer.

The updated document should answer all recent questions and hopefully
make the CVS facilities less mysterious.

Hope this helps.
--

CVS browsing and operations are supported.


Requirements

Command-line CVS has to be installed and working before CVS
operations will work in Boa. CVS operations are implemented as a
thin wrapper on top of command line cvs. You should therefor have
a working knowledge of cvs before using this facility.
CVS over SSH is also supported, but only if keys are used and
created with empty passphrases.

Command-line CVS requires the following:
* cvs.exe for Windows, available from
  http://ftp.cvshome.org/win32/cvs1-11.zip on Linux cvs is part of
  most standard distributions.
* The file cvs.exe must be on the system path ($PATH).
* The $HOME environment variable be defined to point at a valid
  directory.

On Windows NT environment variables can be set from My
Computer->Properties-Environment
On Win9x environment variables can be set in AUTOEXEC.BAT.
e.g. Say your cvs.exe is in C:\CVSBIN and you have a directory
called C:\HOME, you should add

PATH=%PATH%;C:\CVSBIN
HOME=C:\HOME

to the end of your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.


Checking out a local copy

In any directory in the Explorer, right click and choose
CVS->Login to log in to a CVS repository.
Fill in the repository's CVSROOT, e.g.:
:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/boa-construc
tor

Next you will be prompted for a password. For anonymous CVS access
to Boa the password is empty, just press enter. This information
is saved in .cvspass in the home directory ($HOME).

To checkout, right click and choose CVS->Checkout. On the given
command line, change [MODULE] to the module you want to check out.
For Boa this is boa.
Also pass the CVSROOT with parameter -d if your $CVSROOT
environment variable is not defined.
e.g. (one line) cvs -z7 -d
:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/boa-construc
tor
checkout -P boa


Browsing/Working on a local copy

Enter the cyan CVS directory of an already checked out module in
the Explorer to view the CVS status of the files.
These directories are created by CVS when a project is checked out
of a CVS repository.

The selection determines which files are passed to CVS on the
command line. When nothing is selected the the current directory
'.' (the one selected in the tree) is used.
The following CVS commands are supported:

* Update
* Commit
* Add
* Add binary
* Remove
* Diff
* Log
* Status
* Tag
* Branch

Right click on the selection and choose a CVS command from the
popup menu or from the toolbar.
A confirmation dialog showing the help for your command and the
command line that will be executed. Edit the command line if
needed.
Results for stderr (Errors and Server messages) is shown in a
message dialog, and results on stdout is shown is a multiline text
control.

If you need to use SSH, SSH has to be setup to use the public and
private keys generated with ssh-keygen and an empty passphrase.

  http://ftp.cvshome.org/win32/cvs1-11.zip on Linux cvs is part of
  most standard distributions.
* The file cvs.exe must be on the system path ($PATH).
* The $HOME environment variable be defined to point at a valid
  directory.

On Windows NT environment variables can be set from My
Computer->Properties-Environment
On Win9x environment variables can be set in AUTOEXEC.BAT.
e.g. Say your cvs.exe is in C:\CVSBIN and you have a directory
called C:\HOME, you should add

PATH=%PATH%;C:\CVSBIN
HOME=C:\HOME

to the end of your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.


Checking out a local copy

In any directory in the Explorer, right click and choose
CVS->Login to log in to a CVS repository.
Fill in the repository's CVSROOT, e.g.:
:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/boa-constructor

Next you will be prompted for a password. For anonymous CVS access
to Boa the password is empty, just press enter. This information
is saved in .cvspass in the home directory ($HOME).

To checkout, right click and choose CVS->Checkout. On the given
command line, change [MODULE] to the module you want to check out.
For Boa this is boa.
Also pass the CVSROOT with parameter -d if your $CVSROOT
environment variable is not defined.
e.g. (one line) cvs -z7 -d
:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/boa-constructor
checkout -P boa


Browsing/Working on a local copy

Enter the cyan CVS directory of an already checked out module in
the Explorer to view the CVS status of the files.
These directories are created by CVS when a project is checked out
of a CVS repository.

The selection determines which files are passed to CVS on the
command line. When nothing is selected the the current directory
'.' (the one selected in the tree) is used.
The following CVS commands are supported:

* Update
* Commit
* Add
* Add binary
* Remove
* Diff
* Log
* Status
* Tag
* Branch

Right click on the selection and choose a CVS command from the
popup menu or from the toolbar.
A confirmation dialog showing the help for your command and the
command line that will be executed. Edit the command line if
needed.
Results for stderr (Errors and Server messages) is shown in a
message dialog, and results on stdout is shown is a multiline text
control.

If you need to use SSH, SSH has to be setup to use the public and
private keys generated with ssh-keygen and an empty passphrase.

Hello Lynndon,

Boa 0.0.5 needs wxPython 2.2.5.
If you want to use 2.3.0 you have to get the latest version of Boa 
from CVS.

[Boa Constr] Starting Boa on my laptop

[Harnell, L. <lyn...@up...>]

Hi

This is my first posting to the list, so bear with me please.

I have installed Boa 0.05 on 2 other PC's I have access to, but found myself
with a new notebook PC on site, and decided to install it on this one.

It is running Win98.

I installed 
- ActivePython-2_1_0
- wxPython-2_3_0-Py21
- Boa-0_0_5

It loads up all right but when I open a frame in the editor view, and then
go to the frame designer, I get a graphical view of the frame. Then going to
the palette window to grab a control, the icons do not readily show up and I
cannot drag them onto the frame.

Any clues about what I should do? As I said before, I have had Boa running
on 2 other PC's without this trouble.

Cheers

Lynndon

Yes I know this issue.
This is not a Boa specific problem, the wxPython demo also does this.
I have no workarounds.

[Boa Constr] Vertical scroll bar thumb issue/buglet

[Patrick K. O'B. <po...@or...>]

In any of the editor windows, drag the vertical scroll bar thumb all the way
to the bottom. The last visible line of code is eof - 1 where I would prefer
to see eof. You can reveal the last line by clicking on the down arrow just
below the thumb. Sorry, I don't have a patch.

Oops!

Ok, it's fixed now in CVS. Update Editor.py and see if it works.

Thanks, this is now fixed in CVS.
