Don is still convinced that a single widget or single container copy/paste is going to be your best bet. We might try to delve deeper into this in a later version of PAGE. However, right now, we are trying to get PAGE 8.1 ready for a release candidate, so there won't be anything happening in the near future. Sorry, Greg
-
Hello again. Sorry for the delay. Just got off conference with Don (again) and he still has no clue as to how that is happening. Neither he or I can duplicate the issue with any new project. That is using PAGE 8.0 as well as PAGE 8.1 test. The only thing I can suggest is that you try to create a new project and do a few widgets (as you did before) and see if it will duplicate for you. If so, please post the newer .tcl file. Thank you in advance, Greg

Back in PAGE 5.x, each Toplevel form was considered it's own Python program. So for each Toplevel form, you had three files. The .tcl file, the GUI.py file and the support.py file. In PAGE 8 (and PAGE 7), that changed. In the "newer" PAGE versions, you can have as many Toplevel forms as you want and there are only 3 files. The .tcl and the two .py files. You don't have to import each Toplevel PAGE files, that's all ready done for you by PAGE. It's extremely difficult to explain in a small form like...

What version is the "old" PAGE program? If you are trying to add a new toplevel window to a program from back around PAGE 6.x or earlier (and probably 7.x), you probably can't do it. There is some backwards compatibility but only a small amount. You would probably have better luck doing a borrow of the earlier Toplevel forms into a new (8.0) PAGE project, then you should have no problems adding new Toplevel forms to the new project. If you would like, you can always zip up the old .tcl file(s) and...

By this new page, I mean when I press a button the new page should pop up on top of the current page, until the new page's exit button is pressed. I've always used def destroy_Toplevel1(): global w w.destroy() But this doesn't seem to exist now either??

I have a number of pages in my app developed over the past few years. I just created a new one to add to the mix however, when pushing a button trying to do create_Toplevel1, gives an error saying no such function exists (and this seems true) ...however if I look at my old files I DO see it (and it was/is still working) This is rather confusing.... this is from an old file def create_Toplevel1(rt, args, kwargs): '''Starting point when module is imported by another module.

yes, my main issue was not including w1 , just the name of the label...it was initially confusing to me that it said it didn't know what that was this looks like some crazy sort of shell game global root root = tk.Tk() root.protocol( 'WM_DELETE_WINDOW' , root.destroy) # Creates a toplevel widget. global _top1, _w1 _top1 = root _w1 = labeldemo.Toplevel1(_top1) root? Toplevel1? top1? _w1? ...why so many?

Assuming your Toplevel is named , the main function in the support module will look something like this... def main(*args): '''Main entry point for the application.''' global root root = tk.Tk() root.protocol( 'WM_DELETE_WINDOW' , root.destroy) # Creates a toplevel widget. global _top1, _w1 _top1 = root _w1 = labeldemo.Toplevel1(_top1) root.mainloop() Notice there is a _top1 alias that is set to root and a _w1 alias that points to that as well. To set the label in code you can do it one of two ways......

Ahh.... almost soon after I figured out there is an identifier added I was unaware of. _name = projectname.TopLevel1(_other name) so you need _name.lblMyLabe.... to do the job ...adding this"prefix""did the trick ...Actually I had already tried it, but had forgotten the underscore

I have a label set up in page, call it, lblMyLabel and in page it is preset to FREDDY and also has a string variable set up lblMyLabel_Var (and set to freddy) Ok, now in the SUPPORT file in a certain routine I want to change the var to sometimes show something else. I think like lblMyLabel_Var.set("LUCY") However in the routine I get NameError: name 'lblMyLabel_Var' is not defined So how do I change it to something from in a routine in my supportfile??

Yes, of course I tried building a few times to investigate what the issue was. But it can't ever run in the page "terminal" with the indent errors. Not sure what you mean by "all these problems" It is merely not indenting certain sections (as noted), other sections, such as support are indented fine Static hostname: raspberrypi Icon name: computer Operating System: Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) Kernel: Linux 5.10.63-v7+ Architecture: arm It is run from a python IDE, as it has been for a long time...

I truly do not understand why you are having all these problems. I also can not understand why you seem to refuse to provide the information in the simple requests that I made in my first response in this thread . So, I'll ask them again. Is this problem repeatable. I'm guessing the answer is no, since the other two issue reports you have made said nothing of this problem. In fact, no one has reported this problem is over 10 months of PAGE 8.0. But, i'll try to keep an open mind. Second. What operating...

the page 8.0 generated file is not indenting (the def) or top.geom in def, and thus causing an error class Toplevel1: def init(self, top=None): '''This class configures and populates the toplevel window. top is the toplevel containing window.''' top.geometry("757x516+184+84")

One thing i noticed is i got some kind of erorrs and thought page was locked up, but it was just waiting for me to click ok (or something). However the ok panel was hidden under some other layers of page and couldn't be seen....maybe a way to force any such messgae to be on the top layer?? Otherwise it gives the impression page is locked out, until you can find the hidden message

Yes, the Stash Config feature is VERY VERY powerful. Especially with the standard Tk widgets. It works with the ttk Themed widgets as well, but many of the Attributes are missing from them since the Theme takes care of almost all of the missing ones and it is VERY difficult to override a theme, but it can be done. Remember that almost every Tk widget that has text also has a xpad and ypad. This is useful if you need extra space on the right and left or top and bottom of the text, to make it look...

THANKS for the tip and thorough explanation! I didn't know about it yet ---that seems more powerful than what I even hoped for.

One thing I can suggest, however, is something that I do. Assume I have a number of labels that I want to have almost the same. All of them need to be one above the other. I place a Frame (or a TFrame). Then I place my first label at the top of the frame. I then set ALL the attributes that I need for that particular frame, including text, text variable, width, height, relief, background colour and foreground colour and so on. I then pick the rest of the labels, one at a time from the toolbox. (That's...
-
Sorry, but paste is limited to a single time. You have to Copy then paste, then copy again then paste again. I have asked Don about this before and he said this was because of a limitation of VTcl. Sorry. The closest thing I can offer is that once you get the gui made, if you need it again, you can borrow the entire thing from the original project and paste it into the new project. That way you don't have to recreate the painful project.
-
I did get with Don yesterday. I also sent him your .tcl file. Yes, we know. Entering a coordinate should use THAT coordinate. We are in the middle of trying to get the menuing system re-written, so that is taking priority. Don said he would try to look at it as soon as he could. I think I said somewhere along this thread that if and when a fix is made, it won't come out until PAGE version 8.1 at the earliest. Greg

Did anyone figure out what the problem is? Did Don have any inkling? Again, entering a coordinate should use THAT coordinate, not override and change it to some other numbers.

The .cget("desired parameter") seems handy to get any aspect of the button object---its text, its bg color, repeat rate, whatever you want. You can also set the parameter which I do in some cases (such as to disable a button under program control). This was my first tkinter program & first page program, so it might have some wackiness!

I noticed there seems to be this hidden delta. Type in 14 get 16,type in 20 get 22, type in 100 get 102. But the delta is not always 2 , could be 3, maybe others. I realize now I could have accounted for that oddball when typing my values....except SOME buttons do take the value exactly ...some do, some don't. As soon as you use the arrow keys on a button,the delta becomes zero!!!!! YAY!!! Why????????????? Maybe some of my buttons got arrowed, without me noticing...so they go exactly where I type,...

I do have an observation. In your problem demonstration file, I noticed that for almost all of your buttons, you use bind instead of command. While the bind command is pretty much the command on steroids, your setting to the callback function for all the "numbered" buttons is the same... lambda e:problem_support.cb_capt_keypad(e) I'm guessing that the idea behind using the lambda support for the callback is to be able to know what button raised the event. I'm sure you were just in the middle of your...

Thanks Greg, I'll give a shot.. I'm mostly ok now knowing you can use the arrow buttons to fine to exact position rather thn typing numbers. I spent hours and hours and hours typing values, only to get wavy rows or columns of buttons ...maybe 5 in a row would be fines, then the 6th wouldn't position as expected, or they were good horz, but then were wavy columnwise. All that typing for nothing.

Please download the "workaround.zip" file. This is NOT a fix, but simply a way to quickly align a number of widgets using the existing Multiselect function of PAGE. In the zip file is the original .tcl issue file, a version of the fixed file, a number of screen captures and a PDF file explaining how to use the Multiselect/Context menu. I sincerely hope this helps, at least in the sort term. Crazy Uncle Greggie

Since this is a newly found issue (thank you again), I'm in the process of a workaround that, while not solving the issue, will allow for the user to align widgets fairly quickly. Please check back in an hour or so. Crazy Uncle Greggie

I do have a conference call with Don tomorrow and I know that he monitors this forum fairly closely. I'll make sure that this is brought up and see if he can remember if there were any reports of this that I'm not aware of. In addition, he does have a Mac, so he could check that to see if it might be an issue on that platform. If I find anything, I'll be sure to let you know.

Well, I've never seen this happen, and as far as I know you are the only one that it is happening to. I have PAGE working on a Linux PC as well as Windows 10 and Windows 11. No one else has even suggested that this is an issue. I think you might want to reset the grid preference back to 10, which is the default. Many years ago, I did see that when the grid pref was set to such a low value (even at 3-7) there were issues, but I don't remember what the issues were. Sorry.

what the issue is and I can show you how you might want to handle it. I've already said it...when you type in x or y the value IMMEDATELY changes to something else ...type in say 204 and it changes to maybe 207, rejecting 204. But the copy of the button next to it accepts it fine...this is even AFTER changing PAGE's control setting from the original relative to absolute mode. Also the grid pref is set to 1. But if you use the arrows to set it, then it will accept the numbers correctly even if you...

Well, I'm glad that you got it somewhat working. I still suggest that you take advantage of the PAGE Discord forum. Being the guy that set the thing up, I can use a voice/video channel and (assuming you have a microphone) we can chat and share our screens so you can show me what the issue is and I can show you how you might want to handle it. By the way, 50+ buttons, while doable in PAGE is really pushing the limit. There are ways around dealing with that, but it takes A LOT of time, pre-planning...

There is truly something ODD with Page!! First off, I can use the arrow keys to get the exact X& Y I want GREAT!!!!!!!!! Thereafter if I drag it faraway and type in the xy coordinates, it goes exactly where it should. However if I don't FIRST use the arrow keys, it does this oddball slightly off coordinates (type 187 get 184). SOMEHOW THE ARROW KEY IS "FIXING" SOMETHING At least with the arrow keys I don't need to scrap all of my buttons--thanks!!!!!

I'm not sure what is going "wrong". Maybe you should go to the Discord forum and we can talk in a private message so I can understand what is happening on your end. I've got some errands to run in a little bit, but should be available in a few hours. Look for "thedesignatedgeek1953". It could be that if you are using the Attributes editor, you are entering the information into the relx/rely entry boxes rather than in the x/y boxes. A VERY easy mistake. You can use the keyboard arrows to move things...

One other thought. This will often happen if you have a dialog open. It could be the Support Console asking if you want to overwrite the existing file, or an error dialog. It's very possible the dialog is hidden by another window on your screen. Worst case, close the terminal you used to start PAGE. Did you read the .PDF named "How To Start PAGE" in the /docs/How To Start PAGE folder of your PAGE distribution? If you are running WIndows, did you start PAGE from the desktop Icon? Greg

Well, if the dialogs (colour, font, etc.) aren't closing correctly, that would explain why the .tcl project file would get screwed up. When the Font dialog doesn't show up, PAGE is assuming it is is open, thus causing the "hang" in the window. I have tried a few times with the Colour dialog, but not multiple times. I'll try concentrating on that. All of this works fine on Mac, Windows 10 and 11 and Debian based Linux OS. As I said yesterday, this is the first time we've had anyone say they are using...

When you say you are not selecting any Widget Configuration, I'm not sure that you and I are on the same page.

Another question (grasping at straws)... When you are trying to set the background colour for widgets (not Toplevel) are you using the "Standard" widgets or the Ttk Themed widgets? I have no problem setting the colour via the dialog for the Standard Tk widgets. Also, what is the theme you are using? This can be found in the PAGE main window, the dropdown just to the left of the "Relative"/"Absolute" button. By default it should be set to "default". Greg

I threw together a small demo program that uses the Tk Fontchooser. Could you give it a try and let me know if there are any errors with it? This might help us narrow the font dialog issue. I'l start looking into the colour issues shortly. Greg

Anonymous posted a comment on discussion General Discussion
Both, but it has somewhat a similar issue. If the color window is not closed cleanly, it would cause a similar failure as with the font customization. It would cause the page main window to not respond to any UI elements, and am unable to save the project and quit safely.

I didn't see the colour issue in my limited testing. Was it a Toplevel or a widget you were trying to change the colour of? Greg

Thanks for the update. Yes, I am using the Fedora 39 Workstation. I am just curious about the project file corruption issue while trying to update the background color. I would probably stay away from such customization's, as it means loosing progress on a big design.

I've gotten a VERY base Fedora 39 workstation up and running. I got Python 3.12.2 running with Tkinter and PAGE 8.0 installed. I got the same error message that you did when I tried to edit the font on a standard Tk Button. So, now I have to go back to Don and find out what he thinks is causing it to crash. Hang in there.

Thank you for the quick responses. I can't ever remember anyone mentioning that they were running Fedora, but that could just be my old brain.

It seems to be quite a fragile application. I was trying out the color options to change font/background color, and it seems to have completely corrupted the tcl project file.

Will try more and add comments, and share my observations.

It's Fedora 39. Python 3.12.2 Page 8.0 I have also attached the project tcl file for the same. This seems to be a common issue with windows rendered with either font selection/color selection. It the window is being rendered I am unable to locate it in the desktop. Which is causing the main window of PAGE to not close cleanly, and have to kill the application.

Hi. Could you tell me what version of Linux you are using (Ubuntu, Fedora, etc.) What version of PAGE are you using? Could you provide a copy of the project .tcl file? Thank you in advance, Greg

Hello, I am facing a strange issue while trying to change fonts rendered on the buttons using the Attribute configuration window. I have added a simple button to the GUI Top frame, and while trying to change the font on the button. Receiving the following log output on the Linux Terminal. dpr: ::SelectFont::create: bg = #d9d9d9, fg = #000000, But I do not observe any font manager GUI pop-up window being rendered. When trying to launch the font configuration option from the Attribute Window a second...

Hello David. First, allow me to thank you for signing in to Sourceforge. It certainly is easier to refer to a user's name rather than "Hello Anonymous". Doesn't have the same ring to it. Seconly, Thank you for the kind words about V8 and "comeing back to the fold". :o) Now to your question. I guess it really depends on what calls you need to make. PAGE uses the following command to start up when running the page.py file... root.tk.eval(cmd) where 'cmd' is cmd = "source {" + os.path.join(os.path.dirname(p),...

I need to make a few direct Tkinter calls. Providing I keep them away from the "untouchable" files are there any restrictions? At first glance I didn't think so but it seems prudent to ask before starting the work. Oh, I have now upgrade to V8 and am much impressed! More donations will follow. I have to admit to doing a couple of quick projects using PySimpleGui. However, they have just altered their licencing model and it is $99/year if you want to monetize your software that uses it. I'm not averse...

Better to use... @start /min py "%~dp0page.py" %1 %2 %3

Hi Greg. Thank you very much for creating such useful GUI designer which is in my point of view 10 times better than QT Design studio. Anyway, I just want to mention that I did everything like you suggested but PAGE still not willing to start. It was working perfectly on Windows 10 but not in Windows 11. On Windows 11, PAGE doesn't start, any suggestion Please? Thank you!!

If you are having issues starting PAGE in Windows, I believe we have a simple change that should take care of your issues. First, try the following command in a command prompt. py -V This will start Python using the Windows Python Launcher and request the version of the default Python instance. If it comes back with something like Python 3.12.1 You are good to go. Now edit the page.bat file and change the command to @start /min py "%~dp0page.py" %1 %2 %3 Save the file and (just to be safe) reboot...

Well you don't need them, unless you really want to get deep into Tk programming, but it's totally another world. Concentrate on Python and Tkinter. Greg

Tcl and tk came with Python. There was an option to include these in the installation.

Well, since you can get IDLE to run (it's written in Tkinter), you probably will get everything working.
-
You said, I had to copy tcl8.6 and tk8.6 folders to Lib folder under Python in order to get the tkinter work in Python Where did you get tcl and tk from and why? Like I said, I haven't downloaded anything. Then where did tcl and tk come from. Tcl isn't a "normal" package that Windows would use.

Hi Greg and thank you for all the effort. I got frustrated and uninstalled Python and PAGE and Visual Studio Code alltogether, restarted the computer and reinstalled Python. The first thing to do was try to open IDLE and since it didn't run, I did some researching. The environment variable TCL_LIBRARY was pointing to another application and when I changed that to point into the Python tcl8.6 -folder I was able to start IDLE. Then I tried to run the Python code I had made with tkinter. Previously...

since Grid1.py is a python file you must start it by calling python with the filename you want to run. python Grid1.py Give that a try. Greg

Like I said, I haven't downloaded anything. When I installed the Python the only thing I made was copy the tcl and tk folders from tcl to Lib in order to get the tkinter to work. Here's what command prompt showed: D:\xxx\xxx\xxx\xxx\Tkinter_Grid1>Grid1.py D:\xxx\xxx\xxx\xxx\Tkinter_Grid1> [main 2024-01-17T09:42:35.475Z] update#setState idle [main 2024-01-17T09:42:37.583Z] WSL is not installed, so could not detect WSL profiles [main 2024-01-17T09:43:05.486Z] update#setState checking for updates [main...

Ok. That is really pointing (in my mind) a messed up Python install. When you just open the python interactive shell and type import tkinter, it should look something like this... python Python 3.11.4 (main, Dec 6 2023, 09:11:25) [GCC 11.4.0] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import tkinter >>> You shouldn't really "see" anything if it works. You should not EVER have to download Tcl to get Tkinter to work. It's part of Python (and is distributed with...
