Subject: [Tkinter-discuss] Button look
Message-ID: <A128D751272CD411BC9200508BC2194D03383A06@escpl.tcp.com.ar>

Have a simple GUI.

One text entry, two buttons. When you press each button, something is done
with the text you entered and it takes about 10 seconds.

I want the first button to be triggered with the Enter key. So I binded the
<Return> key to the same function that the button.

It works but I also want that the button look "pressed" when I press the key
and the function starts, and look "unpressed" when the function finishes.

How can I tell the button to look "pressed" and "unpressed"?

I'm on Python 2.3.3 (#51, Dec 18 2003, 20:22:39) [MSC v.1200 32 bit (Intel)]
on win32.

Thank you!

Have a simple GUI.

One text entry, two buttons. When you press each button, something is done
with the text you entered and it takes about 10 seconds.

You can click on any button. But when you click on it, I want the mouse
pointer to show the sand clock. So I put this code:

    root.config(cursor="wait")
    textoOut = funcion(textoIn)
    root.config(cursor="")

This does NOT work, but if I put this:

    root.config(cursor="wait")
    print "starting..."
    textoOut = funcion(textoIn)
    print "ending..."
    root.config(cursor="")

Works OK!

Do you know why? I need some kind of flush?

Whoa!  I think that is FAR from the most satisfying answer.
Facundo, the idea I think you're after is, rather than to 
bind <Return> to the same function as the button, to bind
it to the button's activate() method.  While I can't make
time now to explain that coherently, I suspect that one 
keyword will set you in the right direction.

Instead of calling the function "manually" I can do button.invoke() and it
calls the function.

But, it does not press and unpress the button!

Button does not have an activate method, nor an activate option.

The closer is the button state (ACTIVE, NORMAL or DISABLED), but it does not
have that effect.

Use this button_invoker() in the binding.  Here I bound the button
widget, but on re-reading your text it sounds like you want to place
this binding on the toplevel containing the button, so that hitting
Enter anywhere in that window triggers the button.

import time
from Tkinter import Button

def button_invoker(event):
    w = event.widget
    old_relief = w.cget('relief')
    w.configure(relief='sunken')
    w.update_idletasks()
    try:
        w.invoke()
    finally:
        w.configure(relief=old_relief)

b = Button(command = lambda: time.sleep(5))
b.bind("<Return>", button_invoker)
b.pack()
b.focus()
b.mainloop()

It's rather short but exact answer to the asked question.
Cameron, please comment what wrong in my answer, so I can learn on mistakes.

 Facundo, with indicator=0 it looks _exactly_ like button. What is ugly?

Mike, I was just wrong.  Please refer to Jeff's follow-up;
he has everything I had in mind, and more.  I apologize for
spreading false information.  *I* am the one, at least this
time, with an opportunity to learn from my mistake.

I don't have a win32 box here, on my linux box the following works fine:

class Mybutton(Tkinter.Button):
    def __init__(self, master, **kw):
        Tkinter.Button.__init__(self, master, **kw)
        self.bind('<Return>', lambda event: self.event_generate('<space>'))

and then use the Mybutton class like a regular Tkinter.Button.

I'm afraid I cannot really answer your question, but I guess that using

root.config(cursor="wait")
root.update_idletasks()
..etc...

should do the trick, at least that's what I normally do in such cases.
