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

Hello Sean, Would it be possible for you to zip up the .tcl file and upload it here? In addition, what operating system are you running and which version of PAGE are you using? Thank you in advance, Greg

I have created my first GUI using page. I have saved the project and then tried to quit and the response is always "Your application may have unsaved changes. Do you wish to save?"

YES!!! PAGE is still under active development! What you are seeing is the lack of issues that PAGE 8.0 currently has (at least from a user standpoint). PAGE 8.1 is currently in a closed alpha development state. We are working hard on the changes for 8.1. We are still a while from being able to release 8.1, but we are working hard on it. We also have a discord channel that some people use instead of the "normal" discussion forums here. We have people on the discord forum that actively monitor and...

If you use the colour dialog, you can misspell all you want. That won't cause PAGE a problem.

That is a known bug (same as misspelling) that we are working on. That will be fixed in PAGE 8.1 Greg

No. Don't use quotes. That definitely will cause PAGE to crash. Either use a hex value (#d9d9d9) or a colour name without quotes (like cornsilk3 or skyblue2). There are a TONNE of colour names. Greg

I tried out the colour configuration window also for the Top-level background color change. I could crash page if one specifies color in quote in the text field. Here's a snippet for the error encountered: bgerror failed to handle background error. Original error: unknown color name ""blue"" Error in bgerror: window name "err_top" already exists in parent After which the page application crashes/closes. And when recovering from the saved file leads to corrupt project.tcl file or lost progress.

AWESOME! Well, test it for a day or two and if you have any further issues, please let me know. Greg

This seems to be working at-least the font selection and configuration window is visible.

We MIGHT have an answer for the font picker issue. Please download the attached zip file. Unzip it into the page distribution /page/lib . Then restart PAGE and give it a try. Please let me know if it works and if it makes a difference for the colour issue. Greg and Don

Also, I'm assuming that you are running GNOME in your Fedora workstation. Correct? Yes It is a GNOME system. I will try on another system will post any other observations

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...

But when I had to close and re-open the same project, it would loose the complete context for the top-level...

When you say you are not selecting any Widget Configuration, I'm not sure that you and I are on the same page. Selecting a widget is done using the Widget Toolbar usually on the left side of the screen. There are three "sections". Tk Widgets, Themed widgets and Enhanced widgets. The Themed widgets USUALLY don't have any font or colour options. Those are taken care of by the Theme. Also I'm assuming that you are getting the colour dialog when you click on the background color button with the three...

The issue I am facing is while entering a text based color option in the Attribute Editor window.

I am able run this example without any issues.

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
-
Anonymous posted a comment on discussion General Discussion
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. Greg

I'm assuming it's Fedora 39 workstation, correct?

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. I run Linux Mint and have run it under Ubuntu and never had any problems. I'll try to get a Fedora instance running in my Virtual box and test it out. Give me a day or two and I'll get back to you. Yes, please any other comments or observations would be welcome! Greg

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. I have seem to lost all progress on the GUI design I was working with and am currently unable to recover the layout even from the backup files. 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 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.

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.

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...

Ok. That is really pointing (in my mind) a messed up Python install.

Sorry not to be precise. Just to clarify: I removed the tcl and tk folders and did all the things mentioned above without the tcl and tk folders anywhere near the Python (they are in a safe place) and haven't put them back yet. I mentioned above that "I copied the tcl and tk folders in..." and meant that this copying was done way back when I first struggled with the tkinter in the first place, not today. So I still have the tcl and tk folders somewhere safe, not under Python.
-
Anonymous posted a comment on discussion General Discussion
Thanks Greg. Unfortunately no good. I moved all the Tcl and Tk folders that were located in Python folders (they were in .../Python312/tcl and also in .../Python312/Lib where I copied them). In command prompt I got out nothing special: python -V produced "Python 3.12.1", then python started the Python normally. Perhasp I didn't quite follow the "try import tkinter" you suggested but tried anyways these: I typed "import tkinter" which resulted nothing, no errors, no action, then "try import tkinter"...
-
You are very welcome. Since PAGE relys on tkinter, I think that is the place to look. Please try this. Remove the Tcl and Tk folders from the Python folder and put them someplace safe. Reboot your machine and try doing a python -V in a command prompt. Then run the python Interactive shell (just python in the command prompt) and type in the shell, try import tkinter. If you don't get any error messages you SHOULD be good to go. Let me know what the results are and we'll try going from there. Greg

Thank you Greg very much! Python indeed did come with tkinter but there was some kind of an issue using it I can't remember anymore that was corrected by copying the tcl and tk folders that were initially located under Python installation folder to a Python installation subfolder Lib. So to make it clear I didn't have to download anything in addition or copy files/folders outside the installation. The solution was found somewhere in the holy web by luck (as everything). I was happy with the remedy...

I've escalated it to Don. We'll see what he says. Greg

It concerns me that you had to load the tcl and tk folders under Python. Python SHOULD (at least for Windows) come with Tkinter already there and ready. So, yes, it could be your Python installation. Just yesterday I was setting up a virtual Windows session (I run Linux) and I loaded 3.12.1 directly from Python.org and everything ran fine. I'm going to escalate this to Don and see what he thinks. In the meantime, you might want to remove your Python 3.12 completely (move the tcl/tk files to a safety...

I am wondering could it be something related to Python itself? I had to copy tcl8.6 and tk8.6 folders to Lib folder under Python in order to get the tkinter work in Python.

And since there really wasn't much to do in the PAGE installation process that could've went wrong the finger is pointing in the Python direction. I might as well be off the track too.

Unfortunately, Microsoft Defender has decided (FALSELY I might add) that page-8.0.exe contains a virus. This is FALSE. Both Don and Sourceforge have checked for viruses and there are none. If you can get Windows to allow you to download it, it is safe! Greg

I am having the same messages on my Windows machine and I've seen Windows do that before to many files. I'm certain that it's a Windows False positive. Sourceforge checks every file put on it with the latest virus scanners and since you've verified it with an outside virus checker that you trust, I feel you should be good to go.

The page.bat file assumes that your system starts Python by using "python3". My windows system expects "python3.9", so I had to modify the page.bat to @start /min python3.9 "%~dp0page.py" %1 %2 %3 It basically depends on how Windows installed your Python installation. Try to start Python in a command prompt. If you can get Python to start, then edit the page.bat file to use that command.

How does Python start on your system? Is it just "python", "python3.9" or something else?

An update is not needed. The icon thing should be done in code, since it will depend on the Operating System you are using. As to changing the "_w1." _w1 stands for the root Toplevel form. If you had a second toplevel it would be _w2. It's not going to be changing in PAGE anytime soon (unless you borrow from another project). But that's pretty advanced for you at this point. Greg
-
It does seem you are confused. First, a Label widget can not act as a container. However, the Label widget has an image attribute that you can set so that the Label shows the image. You can only use certain types of images without a lot of extra hassle, but .png images work well and can be added directly in PAGE. Just put your Label widget on the Toplevel form, where you want it, and then in the Attribute Editor, click on the button next to the image attribute Entry (the entry box is coloured purple)....

Well, the Toplevel doesn't really support any images, so you need to do a hack. What I like to do is to use a label that holds the image placed somewhere on the Toplevel form. If you use a .png file that has the background set as transparent, and remove the text from the label, then you can place it anywhere on the Toplevel that suits what you want to achive. The other option is to use a canvas that is set to fill the Toplevel container. (Button-3 (right click for most people). You have to use the...
