Hi there,

Thanks Alex the code works fine and it really is easier to read.

But requesting more help how do I mix the text length and the numbers only 
validation???

Thanks in advance.

Brian

Unnecessary (at least in the code shown here) - every path through 
on_txtText_keyPress sets it before using it.
Is it used elsewhere ?

I may be missing some subtlety - but why not simply

>        if len(self.components.txtText.text) < 10 or event.keyCode in

btw - I don't think this will be significantly more efficient - but I 
find it easier to read

RE: [Pythoncard-users] Text field widgets

[Brian D. <deb...@ho...>]

Hi there,

I was working on my text length limited widget, also I worked on a text 
field that only accepts numbers, and this is my code, hope it helps.


def on_initialize(self, event):
        self.type = True

def on_txtText_keyPress(self, event):
        keyCode = event.keyCode
        if keyCode in range(48,58) or keyCode in 
[8,316,317,318,319,127,314,315]:
                event.Skip()

def on_txtText_keyPress(self, event):
        keyCode = event.keyCode
        if len(self.components.txtText.text) == 10:
            if keyCode in [8,316,317,318,319,127,314,315]:
                self.type = True
            else:
                self.type = False
        else:
            self.type = True
        if self.type:
            event.Skip()
        else:
            self.type = True


Any suggestions or ideas on how to optmize this code, specially the text 
leght validation, are more than welcome.

Regards,

Brian

Re: [Pythoncard-users] Make button inactive

[Ronny De W. <ron...@gm...>]

Kevin,

Thanks, using redraw() and Yield() solved my problem:

    def on_Test_mouseClick(self, event):
        if self.loading:
            return
        self.loading = True
        print "*** button clicked"
        self.components.Test.enabled = False
        self.components.Test.redraw()
        time.sleep(5)
        wx.Yield()
        self.loading = False
        self.components.Test.enabled = True

Cheers/ rdw

Try Test.redraw(), the redraw method was made specifically for this 
purpose. The method is defined in widget.py

     def redraw(self):
         """Force an immediate redraw without waiting for an event 
handler to finish."""
         self.Refresh()
         self.Update()

Actually, I think using a timer is the right way to reenable the 
button. You may also need to consider calling SafeYield() depending on 
how responsive you want the UI to be during your processing. There are 
many samples that do long processing, so take a look at them for more 
examples.

I tried with 

self.components.Test.Update()

after disabling the button, without success.

wx.timer is no alternative for me, in fact i don't sleep(5) but do some 
processing for about 5 secs (didnt post the whole processing since it
is not relevant to the problem).

Forcing the repaint is the message, but how ?
How to best explore the deeply buried functionality of wxPython/wxWidgets ?
Do you use specific tools for that ? published API documentation
on the internet ? dynamic exploration via debuggers, ... ?

A couple of days ago i posted a similar question about autosizing the
columns of a multicolumnlist. Also there the answer is probably buried 
in wxPython/wxWidgets. 

What is the fastest way to find the answer to these kind of problems ?

def on_Test_mouseClick(self, event):
       print "*** button clicked"
       # why can i not disable the button with:

       time.sleep(5)

Because, you're not repainting in there - alternately, you could use
wx.timer instead.
(This is straight copy and paste from the Pythoncard manual.)

from wxPython import wx

def on_Test_mouseClick(self, event):
      self.myTimer = wx.wxTimer(self.components.Test, -1) # create a timer
      self.components.Test.enabled = False
      self.myTimer.Start(5000) # launch timer, to fire every 5000ms (5 seconds)

def on_Test_timer(self, event):
      self.myTimer.Stop()
      self.components.Test.enabled = True


That's guaranteed to do it for you but it's a bit of a hackish brute
way of doing it. You have to force a repaint, iirc, and how do that is
buried deep within wxPython.

[Pythoncard-users] Make button inactive

[ronny de w. <ron...@gm...>]

Hello,

I have a Test button which should perform an action, like sleeping
5 secs in the example below. During this action the button should not accept 
any event. So one should not be able to click the button again before the action
related to the button is finished. During the action any Test button
clicks should
be ignored.

How can i do that?
Why doe the code below does not show this behavious ?

    def on_Test_mouseClick(self, event):
        print "*** button clicked"
        # why can i not disable the button with:
        self.components.Test.enabled = False
        time.sleep(5)
        self.components.Test.enabled = True

Brian,

Pythoncard needs to be re-packaged for python2.4 on windows.  In the
mean time you can launch all of the programs.  The installation is
complete but bombs out.

Irritating isn't it?

[Pythoncard-users] problems installing Pythoncard 0.8.1 under WinMe

[Brian v. d. B. <bv...@po...>]

Hi all,

new to the list and (trying to be) new to Pythoncard.

I've downloaded PythonCard-0.8.1.win32.exe, trying to install Pcard on 
my WinMe system with Python 2.4 and wxPython 2.5.3.1.

When I run the .exe installer, I get an error message right before the 
installation has finished (right before finished as assessed by the 
progress bar). An error window pops up, saying

Python-card-0

Python-card-0 has caused an error in
KERNEL32.DLL

Pythoncard-0 will now close.


I end up with many Pythoncard related files (most in 
C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\PythonCard), but no icons, nor any 
filename that would be the obvious one to try to run (eg pythoncard.py).

I tried a search of this list's archives for Kernel32, and a google 
for pythoncard kernel32, both to no avail. I also tried running the 
pythoncard 0.8 .exe installer with the same results.

I am new to GUI tools in python, too. But I wonder if it is possible 
that my wxPython (2.5.3.1) is too new for Pythoncard?

Any suggestions most appreciated. Thanks and best,

Brian vdB

This should work, but it is broken for me too, so this is a bug and I'm 
not sure if it is Pycrust or my minor subclass. I'll check and report 
back after I look at Windows and Mac.

If you do a normal copy (ctrl+c) you don't get the >>> and ... preface 
chars, but ctrl+shift+c will get them. Paste strips the preface 
characters.

Hmm... this almost works.  However it now messes up the indentation on
the way into the python shell.

I.e.:

var = "boogie"
if "bookie" == var:
    print "test"
else:
    print "not boogie"

becomes:

var = "boogie"
if "bookie" == var:
    pass
    else:
    print "not boogie"
  File "<input>", line 3
    else:
       ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
var = "boogie"
if "bookie" == var:
    print "test"
    else:
    print "not boogie"
  File "<input>", line 3
    else:
       ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Copy-n-paste from the shell is eliminating the ">>>" and "..." from
the output, but you know where they are.

Does anyone know if the shell can be made to not try to autoindent on
paste?

If you want the text to appear you need to add

event.skip()

on the line after your print statement. There are number of samples and 
tools that use keyDown, keyUp, and keyPress handlers, so you the 
findfiles tool to search for more examples that look at the keyCode...

Ctrl+Shift+V is what you're looking for to run multiple lines from a

[Pythoncard-users] Text field widgets

[Liam C. <cy...@gm...>]

Kia ora, 

I'm playing around with text fields, and I'm trying to control what a
user can type.
So, I've used the following - 

    def on_TextField1_keyPress(self, event):
        print 'foo'

to test my theory. Now, I can press a key, and 'foo' will be printed
to my console all day long, but the text isn't entered in the text
field, so obviously I've overridden the default key press behaviour.

My problem is, I can't find  the default key press behaviour for a
text field widget.
I've looked in model.py, event.py, and widget.py, and if it's there,
I've missed it. (which is highly likely, I ran out of coffee
yesterday.)

Is anyone able to point me at the right module?

It would be much appreciated.

Regards, 

Liam Clarke

Hi Peter, 

AFAIK this is an issue with all Python shells, from IDLE through to PythonWin.


Although, you can paste line by line IIRC.

[Pythoncard-users] Cut-n-paste to shell issue

[Peter C. N. <spa...@le...>]

I've tried to copy and paste code from the editor window to the shell,
but it seems that once multiple lines are pasted that the shell
doesn't evaluate the code.  Its in the command line history as a block
that I can return to using <ctrl>-<up-arrow>, but when I hit enter its
not evaluated again.

Is this something fixed?  This is in the debian pythoncard
distribution.

An example of this is the following snippet:

>>> time = "now"
... second_part = "is the time"
... if time == "now":
...     print second_part
>>> 
>>> time = "now"
... second_part = "is the time"
... if time == "now":
...     print second_part
>>> 
[ Starting herer is where I did a line-by-line cut-n-paste]
>>> time = "now"
>>> second_part = "is the time"
>>> if time == "now":
...     print second_part
...     
is the time
>>>

[Pythoncard-users] UnicodeDecodeError

Hi, i have an wxPython application running on windows perfectly, but 
when i 
tried to run it on linux (debian) it gave the following error:

On windows i had a similarly problem with coding but the statement # "#-*- 
coding: cp1252 -*-" resolved the problem. 

Thanks in advance,

Peter,

I'm not *the* maintainer, although I do have CVS commit privileges.

PythonCard is an open source project so anyone can contribute code, 
documentation, or sample applications. Providing your contribution 
doesn't break anything it is likely to be accepted into PythonCard.

I'm currently (very slowly) looking at some of the issues that have come 
up in this thread but haven't begun to address the installation 
'features' that occur with the binary package of PythonCard under Python 
2.4 on Windows - mainly because I don't have a development machine 
running Windows. As previously stated installing the source distribution 
doesn't (as far as I know) have any problems and this is the recommended 
work around for now.

I suspect to stop the post installation errors that people are seeing 
all we need to do is build a binary distribution using Python 2.4 (as 
well as Python 2.3) for the next release. Ideally I would like to have 
some independent verification that this is the case and that no other 
action needs to be taken. To that end I am happy to provide help and 
advice to anyone else who wants to investigate this further this before 
I get round to it - which may be some time.


Regards,
Andy

[Pythoncard-users] autosizing columns for MultiColumnList component

[ronny de w. <ron...@gm...>]

I would expect the columwidth for the column in a MultiColumnList are
automatically
sized to the size of the longest item in the column.
This doesn't seem to happen always.

Double clicking in the header line on the border of the colums does the job.
Any ideas on how to automate this so that it happens on initialisation
and on any
update of the list ?

In order to do that you'll have to create the menu manually, it isn't=20
supported by the resource file format or the resourceEditor. Since the=20=

PythonCard menus are just subclasses of wxPython menus, you should be=20
able to insert a submenu at runtime relatively easily just using plain=20=

wxPython code.
