Its more than likely that this is possible, although I've never used 
GridBaseTable myself.

If you have a look at the dbBrowser2 sample included with PythonCard you 
might get some ideas how to implement. In this a grid component (based 
on wx.grid) is dynamically created and populated from a database table.

Re: [Pythoncard-users] Question

[<kub...@gm...>]

I would like for the main window to disappear when the second window pops up
and the second window disappear when I go back to the first.  In other
words, I want to toggle between them.

I'm working on a math game and would like to be able to select an
Addition/Subtraction game with a button (and then return to the main window
when through) or have a second button on the main window to select an
Addition/Subtraction/Multiplication/Division game when the child is ready
for more advanced mathematics.  Again with a button to return to the main
window

A good alternative to the instructions on the web page is to use 
MacPorts - http://www.macports.org/

Follow their instructions to get the base library installed and then 
fire up the terminal prompt and type;

$ sudo port install python24 py-wxpython

That way you can track upstream fixes and releases by typing;

$ sudo port upgrade outdated

Re: [Pythoncard-users] Installation on OSX10.4 [Newbie]

[Victor v. R. <vic...@gm...>]

That solution worked perfectly well. Alex, thanks! PythonCard is  
installed in the site-packages in /Library/Frameworks/ 
python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4. So that is good.

Now, when I started the so-called Acid Test I get an error in the new  
installation:

- "The document "minimal.py" could not be opened."
- But after a while it opens!

When I open a console I see the following:
- $ "/usr/bin/pythonw"  "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/ 
Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/PythonCard/samples/minimal/ 
minimal.py"  && echo Exit status: $? && exit 1
(while minimal is open - that seems to be correct uh?

Does anyone know why I get this error. Have set all the settings as  
displayed in the installation guide.

Thanks again,

Victor

Can you be slightly more specific .... (or alternatively give an example 
from a well-known application)

You start with a single (main) window, and then click on a button.
A new (second window appears and is usable.
   but ... what happens to the main window ?   

Does it
                 - disappear
                 - remain visible, but inactive
                 - remain active ?
Or is the second window simply new content that "replaces" the original 
main window ?

When the second window is active, and you click on the button to "go 
back to the main window", what should happen to the second window 
(disappear, remain but inactive, remain active).

If the main window remains visible but inactive you can build your 
second window as a custom dialog (should be examples of  this in the 
samples).
If the main window disappears, you could build it (the second window) as 
a child window, and simply Hide() the main window as needed (similar to 
what happens in, I think, the Life example, but doing it with the main 
window rather than Child windows.

Unfortunately, I am in the middle of a (painful) switch from PC to Mac, 
so I don't currently have a working wxPython / PythonCard installation - 
so I can't check the samples to give more specific pointers.

The second last sentence should, I think, say " ...using the 2.4 Python 
you just installed".

For me, simply typing the "sudo python  ..." command that follows would 
indeed use the system default 2.3 Python - and hence install it in the 
wrong Framework directory.

You may be able to simply do

sudo /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/bin/python2.4 
setup.py install

but note I haven't yet tried it, and could easily be wrong, since I 
don't fully understand this complexity.

There must be a recommended way to get a newly installed version (e.g. 
2.4) to be more easily used

[Pythoncard-users] Installation on OSX10.4 [Newbie]

[Victor v. R. <vic...@gm...>]

Hello,

I have just tried to install PythonCard 0.8.2. Followed the  
instructions on http://pythoncard.sourceforge.net/ 
macosx_tiger_installation.html.

installation of Python and wxPython seem to go as described.  
PythonCard, however does not installs in:
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/ 
python2.3/site-packages/PythonCard/

While it was expected to install in 2.4.

Python seems to work though.

What can I best do?

Thx

[Pythoncard-users] Question

[<kub...@gm...>]

I'm new to using python and pythoncard.  I've developed a few simple apps
and pythoncard gui's by adapting or modifying existing examples.  One simple
example I don't see thought is a way to switch between windows.  I would
like to have a main window with a button to go to a second window.  Then a
button on the second window to go back to the main window.  Does anyone have
an example or an explanation of how I can accomplish this?

Thanks

[Pythoncard-users] does anyone know what this error means?

[Alec B. <wry...@gm...>]

I'm sorry to email the list about this, but I'm at wit's end. I get
this error, which crashes most of my GUI, and I'm having days of
trouble isolating it. Does anyone have any clues on this?

wx._core.PyAssertionError, C++ assertion "m_count == -1" failed in .
.\..\src\msw\textctrl.cpp(122): wrong initial m_updatesCount value

Some things that might help:

- my program is multi threaded (4 threads in all)

- I'm on Windows

- the error only partially crashes the application. It's only effect
is in the GUI, but not the whole  GUI: the statusbar and menubar still
work fine, but the main window no longer repaints.

Any tips hugely appreciated.

Probably, and as Kevin suggested, you might have to roll your own 
multiple choice dialog. It doesn't appear that anyone else is finding 
this issue a showstopper, or just as likely not too many people have 
upgraded wxPython to 2.8, so it's not going to be a priority issue.

I would like to get back to this eventually and work out what's going 
on, as an exercise in learning how PythonCard and wxPython interact, but 
other things keep getting in the way right now and all of my 
PythonCard-related stuff has pretty much had to be put on hold.

:-( Unfortunately it's 2.5.2.8 again and I'm not in a position to 
upgrade anything at the moment (customer visit....not a good time to be

normal click.

[Pythoncard-users] how to change look of directory browser?

[Alec B. <wry...@gm...>]

I'm using Windows (don't hate me), and trying to make the directory
browser dialog (directoryDiag) look more like the file browser dialog
(openFileDialog).

This is the file browser dialog, which is pretty large and has
shortcuts to My Documents, Desktop, etc. on the left frame:
result = dialog.openFileDialog(wildcard=wildcard)

The problem with the file browser dialog is it won't return any data
unless you select a file.

This is the directory browser dialog, which is extremely small,
non-resizable and generally hard to work with:
result = dialog.directoryDialog(self, 'Choose a directory', 'a')

Does anyone know of a way to expand the directoryDialog to look more
like the openFileDialog, or to get the openFileDialog to return a
directory but without clicking on any file?

Thanks for any help.

[Pythoncard-users] fullscreen on monitor 2?

[Alec B. <wry...@gm...>]

I'm trying to open a child window as fullscreen on monitor 2. I'm able
to launch a child window on monitor 2, and I'm able to go fullscreen
on monitor 1, but not fullscreen on monitor 2.

Here's the code I'm using to launch a child window on monitor 2:

import minimal
self.viewerWindow = model.childWindow(self, minimal.Minimal)

# 0 is monitor one, 1 is monitor two
display = wx.Display(1)
geometry = display.GetGeometry()

w, h = geometry.GetSize()
self.viewerWindow.size = (w, h)

x = geometry[0]
y = geometry[1]
self.viewerWindow.position = (x, y)


Adding this line makes it go fullscreen, but only on monitor 1:

self.ShowFullScreen(True)

Does anyone have any tricks to make it go fullscreen on monitor 2?

What happens when you try and 'open' minimal.py, and how are you trying 
to open it?

On the Mac you need to use the 'pythonw' executable, this could be your 
problem. In a terminal window what happens when you type;

$ pythonw minimal.py

That is the intended behaviour - that (by default) any change in either 
one of label or name causes equivalent change in the other.

To disassociate them from each other, check the box (which should be, 
but isn't always) labelled "Vary" to the left of the Name field (i.e. 
just to the right of the top of the text field listing component names / 
types.

I still can't get that shortcut to work in 2.5.2.8 (or 2.8). I have 
another install (on XP) that I'll try out - I can't remember if it's 2.6 
or 2.5.x again.

I am using PythonCard 0.8 and wxPython 2.8.

Whenever I change the label value of a widget/window it ends up
automatically changing the name value of that same widget/window.  I =
can=92t
seem to get around it, anyone else having this issue?

[Pythoncard-users] launching long-running processes from pycard?

[Alec B. <wry...@gm...>]

I'm trying to launch a long-running process from pythoncard, and am
having trouble because it freezes up the GUI. I gather that the
solution is to spawn a thread, but I would need to pass that thread
quite a bit of information.

Is there some standard way of doing this? Maybe there's some way of
nesting a function in that subthread?

Forgive what is probably a pretty fundamental question, but I'd rather
get some advice on this than come up with some needless kludge.

It works for me.

I have a line of code like this:

result =3D dialog.textEntryDialog(self, "Enter or update the notes:", "Note=
s=20
Editor", "", wx.TE_MULTILINE)

It allows for multiple lines of notes entered.  That doesn't mean you can=20
enter multiple lines and get it to return an array of entries like=20
["Line1","Line2","Line3"].  Of course, you could .split("\n") the results=20
yourself.

I think you'll have to roll your own custom dialog for this...

[Pythoncard-users] text entry dialog

[Andy R. <dar...@gm...>]

Hello all,

is there a way to make the text entry dialog have multiple entries? From
what i can tell wx.TE_MULTILINE makes a larger entry box but not a way for
multiple entry.
