The white window called 'Data' that opens in the Editor when you open 
a frame is the Data View, drop the menu on it.

The Tutorial (especially Docs/Guide/node24.html) is very specific and 
has loads of detail, please work through that.

Thanks for the reply, I actually did check out the docs before posting, but 
still am a little confused on how to set a menu. When I try to set a menu, 
it tells me the component must be created in data. I am not sure what this 
means. Can you give a little more specific detail as to how to create a 
menu please.

In the CVS version of Boa under Docs/Guide you'll find an excellent
Getting Started Guide and Tutorial (by Kevin Gill) that explains this
and a lot more.

Re: [Boa Constr] can't start Boa in linux

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

Hi Steve, same goes for windows,

You seem to be using wxPython 2.2.2 which introduced changes to 
Scintilla's interface. 
Boa 0.0.4 is not compatible with it. If you really need 2.2.2, you
can check out the version in CVS. Else switch back to 2.2.1 until
Boa 0.0.5 is released.

Re: [Boa Constr] save dialog issues

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

Hi Steven, thanks for helping out,

This is quite and old bug. I've isolated the problem before. It seems
you cannot call modal dialogs while in the click event of a 
GenericButton.

I've now implemented a work around for this by posting an event in the
on click event and then popping up the save as dialog after the on 
click has finished. Works now.

Double click is open, open from the menu still does nothing.

Actually it always starts on the app's current directory. Unlike the 
wxPython wxFileDialog it doesn't change it.
Technically you can currently change Boa's file dialog by typing:
>>> import os
>>> os.chdir('subdir')
in Boa's shell if you want it to start in 'subdir'.

I've changed the FileDialog to now remember the directory it last
sucessfully
opened a file from if started with '.' as the default directory.
It does not change the application's current directory.

Works for me.
On the Application view, right click Open and Toolbar->Open(2) and 
Editor->Edit->Open opens the file.

Such message boxes quickly get in the way. A visual clue like a grayed
out source control might be better. I've added this.
This is something you only have to learn once.

The work will never be lost inadvertently. The only way to discard 
changes is to click the Cancel button on the Editor or Inspector's
toolbar.

Please send attachments of any significant size only to me,
I've rejected this message from the Mailman admin web page.
But this answer includes the message so it's ok.

I checked, this feature definitely in CVS.
If you have an App module open (Boa.py) on the Application view 
(1st view tab) On the Editor->Edit menu and the right click menu 
(3rd from bottom) you'll see "View trace log as Traceback"

This is the file that gets generated if I run it on the file you sent:

[Boa Constr] save dialog issues

[Steven D. A. <st...@ne...>]

Hi,

I am playing with Boa Constructor, picking minor problems and trying to fix 
them.  The issue I'm dealing with now is this: when you click the "Package" 
button, you get a save dialog; however, if you click "Cancel," the dialog 
does not necessarily go away.  Often I have to click cancel a dozen times 
or more before the dialog disappears.

I isolated the problem to the following function:

     def saveAsDlg(self, filename, filter = '*.py'):
         dir, name = path.split(filename)
         dlg = wxFileDialog(self, 'Save as...', dir, name, filter,
           wxSAVE | wxOVERWRITE_PROMPT)

         try:
             print "getting ready to execute showmodal"
             if dlg.ShowModal() == wxID_OK:
                 print "showmodal returned wxID_OK"
                 return dlg.GetPath(), true
             else:
                 print "showmodal did not return wxID_OK"
                 return '', false
         finally:
             dlg.Destroy()

It looks like wxFileDialog and ShowModal are being called 
correctly.  However, the console prints the following:

6
C:\boa
getting ready to execute showmodal
6
C:\boa
getting ready to execute showmodal
6
C:\boa
getting ready to execute showmodal
6

showmodal did not return wxID_OK
showmodal did not return wxID_OK
showmodal did not return wxID_OK
showmodal did not return wxID_OK
showmodal did not return wxID_OK

In short, it looks like we never got out of the ShowModal call; each time I 
clicked on the cancel button, it's as if a new thread were started calling 
the SaveAsDlg function.  Anyone have any idea what's going on here?

The functionality for the next release is basically complete, there are
just a few issues/bugs left and things like updating the Docs.
You tripped over one of the issues, I use popen3 to run external 
programs but there are some problems. I hope to switch to wxProcess
asap.

You can now edit this at the bottom of PrefsMSW.py (or PrefsGTK for
Linux)
Change the 'size' entry in the faces dictionary.
I hoped to add an interface to configure the fonts and colour but have 
not yet gotten round to it.

I strongly suspect popen3 on Win95.

Ouch, thanks for catching this one. 
Fixed now, change PropEdit.PropertyEditors.NameConstrPropEdit.getValue
line 578 from:
                for c in value:
to:
                for c in value[1:-1]:

I can't reproduce this, but Boa now has a crash tracing facility for
these trying moments. Run Boa with command line option -T and make
it crash. Start it up again, open Boa.py and select 

Edit->View trace log as Traceback

After crunching through the log file a traceback frame should open.
A file named Boa.trace.stack will also be saved in the Boa directory,
please mail or post me this file.

Remember that you can safely rename event names to whatever you want
by manually changing it in the code (EVT_* binding and On* method name).

Nicer event names are now on the todo list.
It not completely straightforward tho, menu captions != python
identifiers.

No.  Here's what works (CPython being the main Python distribution):

wxPython 2.2.1 + Boa 0.0.4 + CPython 1.52 or 2.0
wxPython 2.2.2 + Boa 0.0.5 (soon to come) + CPython 1.52 or 2.0
Zope 2.2.2 + CPython 1.52

Note that wxPython is not Zope, even though the version number is the
same. :-)

Am I to understand that the current 2.2.2 version of Zope runs with 
Python 2.0? Or is it just the CVS version 2.2.3?

0.0.4 is designed to work with wxPython 2.2.1.  The pre-0.0.5 version
already has fixes that allow it to work with 2.2.2 and Python 2.0.

[Boa Constr] can not run Boa under win32

[Erki <er...@it...>]

Hei.

I downloaded Boa-0.0.4.zip from sourceforge.net.
I extracted it to my desktop and ran Boa.py.

This was the output i got:

imported wxPython
imported Prefs
imported PaletteMapping
imported Editor
imported Inspector
imported Palette
imported Editor
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\Boa\Boa.py", line 113, in main

    _wxStart(self.OnInit)
  File "C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\Boa\Boa.py", line 58, in OnInit
    self.main = Palette.BoaFrame(None, -1, self)
  File "C:\WINDOWS\DESKTOP\BOA\Palette.py", line 157, in __init__

  File "C:\WINDOWS\DESKTOP\BOA\Views\StyledTextCtrls.py", line 137, in
__init__
    self.SetKeywords(0,
AttributeError: SetKeywords

After that i tried to grep out "def SetKeywords" from any Boa package
py-file but i did not find it anywhere.

Have anybody tried to run it under win32???!!!

What might be wrong?

(I have installed wxPython-2.2.2 and Python 1.5.2 and they run perfectly
well)

                                   ^^^^^^^^^

I doubt whether this error has anything to do with Boa.
This is a standard python module.

What you could try is to change Client.py line 112 from:
from random import random
to:
from whrandom import random

Maybe this will work for you, but there seems to be something wrong
with your Python.

Actually I found that sometimes wxGTK misreports the version number and
have added to the CVS a try/except handler that detects and corrects
this condition.  It's in StyledTextCtrls.py.

Re: [Boa Constr] cannot start Boa on linux

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

Hi Joachim, same goes for windows,

You seem to be using wxPython 2.2.2 which introduced changes to 
Scintilla's interface. 
Boa 0.0.4 is not compatible with it. If you really need 2.2.2, you
can check out the version in CVS. Else switch back to 2.2.1 until
Boa 0.0.5 is released (soon hopefully).

The 'wildcard' argument occurs twice, remove the first one.

Boa's help will not work on Python 2.0 or different versions of
wxWindows help.
You can rebuild the help index with the Scripts\HelpScrpt.py script.
You'll have to manually look for and set some files in the script, see 
the file for instructions. I'd like to automate this. 

I intend making sure everything works on Python 2.0 this weekend.

Hi!

I'm trying to execute boa with Python 2.0 & wx (for the 20b1 version that is
supposed to work with Python 2). I get the following error:
---------------------------------------------------

RE: [Boa Constr] Installation

[Charlie D. <ch...@we...>]

~
~ Can I install boa_constructor on Linux_Mandrake7.1 and how ?

It's not too hard.

If we assume nothing is installed by default that's correct on your system
(I don't have Mandrake, but it was relatively painless (and a good learning
experience) to install on redhat which i think is pretty similar), then
start by getting gtk+ and wxGTK from
ftp://wesley.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/pub/linux/wxxt/source/ or one of the
mirrors mentioned on the wxWindows site.


It looks like there is an rpm for wxGTK, but not for gtk+,

that means to install gtk+, you'll need to do

tar xzvf gtk+<version-number>.tar.gz

and then cd into the directory created and look for a README file or INSTALL
file that tells you exactly what to do

The wxGTK should be a lot easier to install, simply do

rpm -i wxGTK<version-number>.rpm


After that works, you can go to http://wxpython.org/download.php and get the
wxPython rpm and install that as you did wxGTK.  Read the info under the "An
RPM for Linux and wxGTK*." heading across from the file you need to get.  If
Mandrake has python installed somewhere other than /usr/lib/python1.5, then
you'll need to read and follow the instructions in the second paragraph
there.

Now you should be ready to get boa from
http://boa-constructor.sourceforge.net/Download

You'll need to do

unzip -a Boa-0.0.4.zip

(actually, the "-a" may be unnecessary, but it probably won't hurt)

then you can start gnome, cd into the directory you created by unzipping Boa
and when you can see the file Boa.py with an "ls" command, try

python Boa.py

You may have better luck if you copy that unzipped Boa directory into

/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages    (or the equivalent path depending on
where Mandrake installs python)

Good luck, and post with any specific problems you run into,
