[Pythoncard-users] Re: Time to share your PythonCard gripes

[Ade <sk...@bl...>]

Finding PythonCard was a blessing, it allowed me, when I was starting out
with Python, quick simple access to the most used settings/setup for a lot
of components used in wxPython. It seems to me very, very stable, flexible
and quick.

The interface.

It is good, as it is... very good. It has served well in my learning of
python without needing to expand much beyond it.

Annoyances.
Not being able to select more than one component.
Tab order, having an actual z-Order property number would solve this nicely.

What would be nice.
Double clicking on a component, it would be nice for it to put focus back to
the properties window and have that component selected. Or better yet have a
set up function to have double click do one of a number of quickly wanted
functions. Alternatively, having the whole properties 'thing' appear on a
right click menu?
For my part I have had to start dealing with wxPython to get some of the
components to perform differently, like removing the automatic linefeed at
the end of the text area ( now taken care of in 0.81 of cause ) or the
length of the list from a combo box or having two line button names. It
would be so, so nice to have most of the settings for most of the components
available in the script so they can be 'easily' and transparently modified
within the PythonCard script rather than in the murky depths of wxPython. As
a last resort I ended up modifying the standard component in PythonCard. I
first tried to add the modified component to the components menu but failed
:(. As an alternative a User components menu item where non-standard
components can be added with ease would be a compromise, however this still
requires the wxPython know-how. Might even generate contributions of
reworked components? This sounds like a lot of work though.

However as I said, I have happily used PythonCard for over 2 years.

Just checking, you know that the order in the Resource file determines
the tab order?

i.e. 

{'application':{'type':'Application',
          'name':'Template',
    'backgrounds': [
    {'type':'Background',
          'name':'bgTemplate',
          'title':'Client details',
          'position':(-5, 25),
          'size':(1027, 689),
          'icon':'lux.ico',

        'menubar': {'type':'MenuBar',
         'menus': [
             {'type':'Menu',
             'name':'menuFile',
             'label':'&File',
             'items': [
                  {'type':'MenuItem',
                   'name':'menuFileExit',
                   'label':'E&xit',
                   'command':'exit',
                  },
              ]
             },
         ]
     },
         'components': [

{'type':'Button', 
    'name':'closeButton', 
    'position':(870, 590), 
    'size':(100, -1), 
    'label':'Close', 
    },

{'type':'Button', 
    'name':'saveButton', 
    'position':(740, 590), 
    'size':(100, -1), 
    'label':'Save', 
    },

{'type':'Button', 
    'name':'jobsButton', 
    'position':(530, 310), 
    'label:'Jobs'
    'size':(100, -1), 
    'label':'Save', 
    }, 


closeButton tabs to saveButton which tabs to jobsButton.

I don't know if this is documented anywhere obvious though.

Hi there,=20

Sorry to resurrect an old topic, but just working with the multi-column=20
list.

I have the column headings stored in the resource file, but I want to chang=
e=20
how the column headings are formatted. AFAIK, in wxPython you can only set=
=20
formatting when calling wx.ListCtrl.InsertColumn, which is I believe what=
=20
MultiColumnList (MCL) does for my column headings upon instantiation.

What I was wondering was would it be possible to have a optional attribute=
=20
for that list like=20
'format': None in the resource file? Then you could add in the basic format=
s=20
(list_left) if you needed them.

I dunno, MultiColumnList is so easy to use compared to the wxPython=20
ListCtrl, so, in my pursuit of maximum effect for minimum effort, I'd rathe=
r=20
avoid wx stuff as much as possible. I'm having nightmares after trying to=
=20
figure out how to use wx.DC's effectively.=20

Alternatively, would it be possible to stick a method in MCL to effectively=
,=20
destroy the existing MCL and create it again, but with formatting?=20

I know that it would be a 95% un-needed method/attribute, so I'm asking=20
'just in case' someone's poking at MCL and feels creative.

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

Hello again,=20

Feeling kind of silly, just looked more closely at MCL, and found lines=20
330-338 under the method=20
_setColumnHeadings(self, aList):

elif w =3D=3D 3 and \
isinstance(aList[0][0], StringType) and \
isinstance(aList[0][1], IntType) and \
isinstance(aList[0][2], IntType):
flag =3D 0
for i in xrange(numcols):
if aList[i][1] !=3D wx.LIST_AUTOSIZE:
flag =3D 1
self.InsertColumn(i, aList[i][0], format=3DaList[i][2], width=3DaList[i][1]=
)

So, I get the feeling that if I create my ColumnHeadings as a list of [=20
"Column name", x, y]
where x and y are both integers, then it'll come through to this=20
InsertColumn method...

But, what values are legitimate values? If x and y have to be ints, how doe=
s=20
that fit in with InsertColumn? I'm used to wx.LIST_AUTOSIZE and so forth.
Those isinstance()'s in the elif clause are a bit confusing actually....

Not overly much documentation on InsertColumn at
wxpython.org<http://wxpython.org>either. :(

Any help would be gratefully appreciated,=20

There's a hint in the sample/multicolumnexample.py in the comments at 
the head.
Playing around a bit with that, I think you pass in a list like
   [ ["header", width, format], ...]
width is an integer value :
    -1 = auto_size
    positive value is an actual column width
(note you must have ALL columns set to auto_size to get autosizing)

format is one of
   wxLIST_FORMAT_LEFT        : 0
   wxLIST_FORMAT_RIGHT     : 1
   wxLIST_FORMAT_CENTRE  : 2

 
Here's a snippet from my "play" code version of multicolumnexample.py
(from on_loadButton_mouseClick

I changed

>        self.components.theList.columnHeadings = items[0]
>         self.components.theList.items = items[1:]

to

P.S. I couldn't figure out the right way to use the wxLIST_FORMAT_*  
constants. I'm sure you should be able to do something like
 import wx
and then use wx.wxLIST_FORMAT_LEFT
but that didn't work - I finished up doing
import wx
print wx._controls.wxLIST_FORMAT_LEFT
to check what the values were.

[Pythoncard-users] Re: platform-specific resource files now supported

[Michael S. <mik...@ya...>]

The topic of platform-specific resource files made me
wonder whether it is possible for a resource file to
inherit from another resource file. If the differences
between platform specific resources are relatively
minor, I would think it would be simpler to inherit
from a base resource and only include the components
and properties to be changed.

On a different topic, could someone remind me of the
reasons why components are accessed from
self.components rather than self? 
E.g. self.components.button1 vs. self.button1
If I allowed self to lookup self.components would this
cause a problem with the program? I think I remember
there being some discussion on this in the past, but I
cannot find it in the archive.

Thanks,

Michael

It's to differentiate them from the other properties a background may 
have. Essentially the components (as a set) are children of the 
background and not first class attributes, which it's name, title and 
size (for instance) are.

You could probably do this manually, but the resourceEditor certainly 
doesn't support it. You would need to do your own logic that mirrors 
what PythonCard does with internationalResourceName to figure out the 
resource filenames; You can't use periods in filenames like we do if 
you want Python to be able to import the files, so instead of 
minimal.rsrc.py and minimal.win.rsrc.py you would want to use 
underscores: minimal_rsrc.py minimal_win_rsrc.py, which you could 
import. The current resource files are read in as text files and then 
run through eval() so anything eval() can handle is valid, including 
doing an import and then replacing certain elements of a list, 
dictionary, etc.

Since your next question is probably going to be "Why don't we just 
change the resource file format and loader then?" the answer is 
installed base and "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". I think we should 
probably figure out the next evolution of the resource file format, 
whether it continues to be valid Python, XML, support subclassing, 
whatever, and then add support for that in PythonCard 1.x in addition 
to still supporting the old format. That process would be part of the 
PythonCard 2.0 discussion.

You can easily do your own custom loading and such today, but like I 
said, the framework and tools won't know about a different format, so 
there is extra work for you.

There is a very simple reason for this and its called name collision. 
If the components could be accessed as self.button1 then the names 
would need to be different than any methods or other attributes of the 
Background class, super and subclasses. There would probably be some 
other complications that would require __getattr__ and __setattr__ 
methods for Background and slow down and complicate all member 
accesses, but the name collision is the still the primary reason.

	You are missing a comma after 'Job subtype'.

.....oh dear.

I am very, very, embarrassed at the moment... I just spent twenty minutes=
=20
writing a method to do this.... all because I missed a comma.

Ack.

But thanks, Ed.
