[Pythoncard-users] Extending the Turtle

[Martin <mar...@gm...>]

I was astonished by the simplicity of the turtle, and is the perfect base =
to learn PythonCard UI, because you can see right away what your code is d=
oing, however, im trying to connect an external dialog to "remote control"=
 the turtle, but it seems that the events are not reaching the main loop, =
what can i do?
(The example code was not changed in any way)
adj: code

in the embebedd PyCrust:

import turtleMover as tm
dlg =3D tm=2EMyDialog(None,t)  #t is the default turtle
tm=2Evisible =3D True

The dialog appears, it's usable, but nothing happens :(
what i did wrong? what is missing?
how can i process the events of the custom dialog in the already running t=
urtle example?
I dont know if the rsrc and the events code are ok=2E

i need so much help :P (a poor n00b trying to learn)

Thanks in advance

Hello,
One possible way of doing this is to study some of the other examples =20=

that handle UI events;
such as "doodle" etc.

Your problem here is that you're trying to use a modal dialog. You =20
can get a result from the dialog, but if you want the experience to =20
be interactive, rather than using a dialog, just change your code so =20
that it is a child window instead and it won't be modal. You can make =20=

references to the main window turtle from your child window. Create =20
the child window and keep a reference to it in the main window =20
on_initialize event handler. There are multiple samples that use =20
child windows. If you have a problem getting this to work I'm sure =20
someone on the list can provide the needed code tweaks.

[Pythoncard-users] PythonCard audio from PyCon 2005 question

[Ron S. <rd...@ma...>]

Hello Kevin,

I do a weekly podcast about Python subjects. If it's OK with you, I  
would like to use the audio from your talk at PyCon 2005 (which can  
be found online at the PyCon website) in an upcoming podcast about  
PythonCard. I would edit it a little and make it compatible with the  
audio of the rest of the podcast, in which I would walk through a  
tutorial and just give my thoughts and comments about how easy  
PythonCard is to learn to use. I do use PythonCard routinely for  
simple GUI's for inputting data into my scripts. The podcast series  
is mainly for people who are learning Python and can be found at  
www.awaretek.com/python/index.html

Fine with me. If I remember correctly all the Pycon stuff has an open  
source type usage license, so just look at what it says on the site.

Thanks,

Kevin,

Thanks. I'll try to do a good job on a PythonCard podcast.
