Re: [Pythoncard-users] Creating dynamic window

[Kevin A. <al...@se...>]

After a bit of research I came up with the following working example  
which uses a slightly modified version of your original factory.  
func_name seems to be the important attribute. I was able to use  
addMethod to clean up the code a bit .

This still doesn't solve the problem of creating an arbitrary  
function/method from a string, but that's a generic Python problem  
that I don't know the answer to rather than something PythonCard- 
specific.

from PythonCard import model

rsrc = {'application':{'type':'Application',
           'name':'Minimal',
     'backgrounds': [
     {'type':'Background',
           'name':'bgMin',
           'title':'Minimal PythonCard Application',
           'size':(200, 100),
          'components': [

] # end components
} # end background
] # end backgrounds
} }

class Minimal(model.Background):
     def on_initialize(self, event):
         self.components['field1'] = {'type':'TextField',
                                         'name':'field1',
                                         'position':(5,5),
                                         'size':(150, -1),
                                         'text':'Hello PythonCard'}
         self.mouseclick_factory("Button1")
         self.mouseclick_factory("Button2")

     def mouseclick_factory(self, name):
         def function(self, event):
             # changed to event.target.name to verify we're getting
             # the correct target when button is clicked
             print "You clicked '%s'." % event.target.name
         # func_name seems to be the magic attribute rather than
         # just setting func.name
         function.func_name = "on_%s_mouseClick" % name
         self.addMethod(function)
         self.components[name] = {'type':'Button',
                                      'name':name,
                                      'label':name,
                                      'position':(5,5+int(name[-1:]) 
*30),
                                      'text':name}
         return function
