Message-ID: <drvga0$rh1$2@sea.gmane.org>

Is there exist method to bind callback function to mouse wheel event? Is
this event exists at all on win32 Tkinter?

In Python Cookbook there is simple example that calims that on Linux
wheel mouse events mapped to <Button-4> and <Button-5>, but on Windows
this receipe does not work.

I use Python 2.4.

On Unix, the events are called <Button-4> and <Button-5>.
On Windows, there is a single event called <MouseWheel>, and on its
event object there is a 'delta' field which gives the direction.

Here's a snippet from the Tk manpage for 'bind':
    MouseWheel
        Some mice on the Windows platform support a mouse wheel which is used
        for scrolling documents without using the scrollbars.  By rolling the
        wheel, the system will generate MouseWheel events that the application
        can use to scroll.  Like Key events the event is always routed to the
        window that currently has focus.  When the event is received you can
        use the %D substitution to get the delta field for the event which is a
        integer value of motion that the mouse wheel has moved.  The smallest
        value for which the system will report is defined by the OS.   On
        Windows 95 & 98 machines this value is at least 120 before it is
        reported.  How ever, higher resolution devices may be available in the
        future.  The sign of the value determines which direction your widget
        should scroll.  Positive values should scroll up and negative values
        should scroll down.

Has anyone *ever* been able to have the mouse wheel work on Win32 with a Tkinter app? For the text widget, the scrollbar works nicely but for some reason, if I attach a scrollbar to a list, it doesn't appear to work. Any reason for this?

Read the section "SPECIAL MENUS IN MENUBARS" from the tk "menu" manpage:
    On Windows, access to the Windows System menu in each window is provided.
    [...] So for a menubar named .menubar, on the Macintosh, the special menus
    would be .menubar.apple and .menubar.help; on Windows, the special menu
    would be .menubar.system [...]
A bit of experimentation shows that this does work (the item appears both when
you click the icon in the upper left and when you right-click the task bar 
entry for the application), but that you'll also want to specifically turn
off the "tearoff" property of the "system" menubar.

I tested this in 'wish', not Tkinter.  Creating a widget with a particular name
seems to be done in Tkinter by using the name= parameter when constructing the
widget:
        menubar = Tkinter.Menu(root); root.configure(menu=menubar)
        system_menu = Tkinter.Menu(menubar, name="system", tearoff=0, ...)
        menubar.add_cascade(menu=system_menu, ...)
(untested)

Subject: [Tkinter-discuss] Radiobutton
Message-ID: <PIEDJJHGLLIHOOEBJPGACEKICFAA.Martin.Weisel@gmx.de>

Hi everybody.

I'm currently trying to create a popup-GUI for PyMOL with Tkinter.
It's supposed to be of the form:

############################################################################
############

from Tkinter import *
root = Tk()

def radio1():
	global tmp
	tmp = IntVar()
	Yes = Radiobutton(root, text = 'yes', value = 1 , variable = tmp)
	Yes.pack(side = LEFT)
	Yes.select()	#set Yes initially
	No = Radiobutton(root, text = 'no', value = 2 , variable = tmp).pack(side =
LEFT)

radio1()
root.mainloop()

############################################################################
############


My problem is, that I cannot read out the actual value of tmp with
tmp.get() --> it is always returning 0.
Although displaying the actual value of tmp as a dynamic label on the GUI
works very well:

Label(root, textvariable = tmp).pack(side = LEFT)


Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Martin

Martin,

Your example works for me. I'm on Linux, Python 2.4.1, FC4.

I don't usually use globals; maybe you have another global somewhere
colliding with the one that you are using?

I believe Martin Franklin wrote a Tile.py wrapper for the Tk/Tile
extension, which adds theming to the core Tk widget set. It used to
reside here:

http://mfranklin.is-a-geek.org/docs/Tile/index.html

That server seems to be down. Anyone know if the wrapper is available
elsewhere? Or if someone else has written a Tile wrapper?

There was also a wrapper for the tablelist Tk package at this site as
well...

Hi Doug,

This example works fine for python, but unfortunately it's not working in
PyMOL.

>colliding with the one that you are using?
There is definitely no colliding of variables - this prog does not work when
used as the only code.

I think it must be a PyMOL specific problem. For some reason the .get()
method is unable to get the actual value of the Radiobutton. The strange
thing is that the Label has no problems in displaying the actual value of
tmp. I'm wondering if there's a way to read out 'textvariable' of the
Label!?

>Label(root, textvariable = tmp).pack(side = LEFT)

Martin

Maybe Label.cget('text') ?

Subject: [Tkinter-discuss] My (small) program crashes on windows and linux.
	Why?
Message-ID: <20060214120606.GP20447@kira.niekel.net>

Hi,

I was playing with tkinter, at the same time enjoying the olympics. I
thought I'd try to create a program for keeping scores of the
speed-skating. However, under windows I got into a crash, with the helpful 
"Send crash-report". I tried to change this into a smaller program that
still crashes, but whatever I change, it stops crashing.
Under linux it also coredumps, but then when you close the window.

Since it's python, and crashes shouldn't happen, I thought I'd attach the
whole program (it's 82 lines).  The strange thing is, if the 'SkateWindow'
is started with a distance < 10000, it runs allright. 

With 10km, the window is wider than my screen, but changing line 29
        self.distances = range(start,distance+1, 400)
    into
        self.distances = range(start,distance+1, 800)
reduces the number of columns, but not the crash.

Any ideas?

Regards,
Chris Niekel

I think the values for the column param are too high. Tkinter cannot 
handle them. You do this twice in your code. they are supposed to work 
as "weights". if you just use an numeric according to the index of the 
current entry in self.distances it works...

Indeed, changing it to column=d/100 works as well. column and row should 
be < 9999, otherwise it crashes. Not a real problem ofcourse.

I knew the numbers are weights, that's why I didn't bother to scale them
and just used the numbers I already have available.

Hi there, I took a look at the Tk sourcecode, its limited by default .. see

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/tktoolkit/tk/generic/tkGrid.c?view=markup

//* * Data structures are allocated dynamically to support arbitrary 
sized * tables. However, the space is proportional to the highest 
numbered slot * with some non-default property. This limit is used to 
head off mistakes and * denial of service attacks by limiting the amount 
of storage required. *//
#*define* MAX_ELEMENT 10000

and

.\tkGrid.c:2216:   
  if (slot < 0 || slot >= MAX_ELEMENT) {
    return TCL_ERROR;
  }

Should I have discovered the TCL_ERROR somewhere then? Is that propagated
through Tkinter? The grid-examples don't use it. 

Since Tcl/tk seems to set the limit, and return an error, I'd think it's a
bug in Tkinter to crash for it. An exception raised at the right time would
be nice. I

I've submitted a bug-report for the crash (and fixed my code).

If you file a bug anywhere, you should file it against the Tk library,
not Python.  This crash is reproduced by the following Tcl script:
    label .l
    grid .l -row 10 -column 10000
    update
    after 1000 destroy .

As far as I know, the proper place to report bugs in Tk is the "Bugs"
tab of http://sourceforge.net/projects/tktoolkit

Yes!  

Nice work.  My Mac OS X 8.4.10 dies after the [update], without needing
the [after 1000 destroy .].

Yes, <URL: http://sourceforge.net/projects/tktoolkit > is a good place
to report the issue.  The Tk folks promise it'll get prompt attention.
For now, I leave it to you to file.  Feel free to send me a copy when
you do so.

Hi,
I'm on Debian Linux and I'd like to know where can I
centrally change the font and maybe the whole look if it's
possible of Tk applications. I run some applications that
uses Tk (IDLE - The Python IDE for example) and they all
looks the same, so I think that this should change centrally
somewhere.

Please give me some advices.
Thanks in advance,

There are a couple of aspects to this:
A.  Who can report on when Tkinter as a whole or IDLE
    in particular will be Tile-ified?
B.  You want to learn about "the option database" <URL:
    http://effbot.org/zone/tkinter-option-database.htm >.
    For even more immediate encouragement, try
      import Tkinter
      root = Tkinter.Tk()
      root.option_add('*font', ('verdana', 30, 'bold'))
      Tkinter.Label(text = "This is some text.").pack()
C.  B. presents a per-application approach.  As Tkinter
    is a well-behaved X11 toolkit, you can also read up
    on the X11 option database (start with `man xrdb`).

Jeff and Fredrik are likely to expand these remarks.  The subject
deserves its own Wiki page ...

Message-ID: <20060216012538.GC15198@unpythonic.net>

You can use the X resource database to control the default appearance of
Tk widgets.

For example, try the following shell script before running a Tk or
Tkinter app:
    for class in Label Entry Listbox Button Checkbutton Radiobutton Menu
    do
      echo "*$class.font: helvetica 12"
    done | xrdb -merge
It will choose a nicer (non-bold) font for most widgets.  These settings
will persist until logout, or until modified by a subsequent 'xrdb'
invocation.

You can get the rest of what I know from reading the 'option' manpage,
which is a Tk command that adds resources to the list for just one
instance of Tk.  I believe the resource syntax is able to specify
application names, widget paths, and widget classes, though I don't know
all the particulars.  I generally use the *Class.databaseName format,
and nothing else.

There's a Tkinter/Tile wrapper here:

http://mfranklin.is-a-geek.org/docs/Tile/index.html

I'm undertaking development of a Python application that will  make use
of this module, and will contribute documentation on using Tkinter/Tile
(Tileinter?) at the appropriate time.

I can't sepak for IDLE.

Too late. I've appended a note saying it's in tk. Didn't know if I was
supposed to close it myself.

My linux crashes before the update.

Ok, thanks a lot...
that script works fine. Is there a possibility to change the
background color of the menus etc. the same way as the
font-change?

address your question meaningfully?  I elaborate:  just as "font"
is a configuration variable for a Label, so is "background" for
"menu", as Python is willing to inform you during an interactive
session, if you know how to ask it.  Does that make sense?

Subject: [Tkinter-discuss] Axis modification
Message-ID: <66D610DE0C5EB640928D746F05F4BB1002633A@argon-server.argon.local>

Hello all,

I am trying to modify the Axis gui for EMC2 and am having trouble
calling commands from within the 'axis.py' file.

I have modified the history widget to a small text editor and have
created some extra button widgets which I want to use to access the text
editor.

Here is a snippet of my code which is in 'axis.py', where I think the
root of my problem lies, hopefully this snippet will outline the issue
that im having beyond my explanation:

 

class TclCommands(nf.TclCommands):

....

    def edit_file(event=None):

            root_window.command = pane_top + ".tabs raise mdi" 

 

    def new_file(event=None):

            widgets.mdi_history.delete(1.0, END)

            root_window.command = pane_top + ".tabs raise mdi"

 

I have a 2 button widgets defined in 'axis.tcl' which have command
options calling the above functions, I also have short cut keys which
call these functions:

 

root_window.bind("<Control-e>", commands.edit_file)

root_window.bind("<Control-n>", commands.new_file)

 

When I press the button or use the shortcut key, the mdi tab does not
raise and I do not get any error message in the terminal. Only text
saying:

 

emcTaskIssueCommand()

 

I know I can use the command options to raise the tab directly and also
use 'bind' to link the shortcut key to (pane_top + ".tabs raise mdi"),
however this limits me to one command and as you can see in the new_file
function that I would like to use two commands.

 

 

Regards

Colin

The messages arriving at me appear NOT to be passing through the 
mailing list.  I've redirected follow-ups back there, on the as-
sumption that's your intention.

I don't know what more to say; when I run applications with
  Frame.__init__(self, master, background = "black")
I see a black background, not a TypeError.  Perhaps someone else
recognizes what's going on.

Just a guess: maybe somewhere in your code you did something like:

    app = Application(master, background='black')
?

To avoid problems like this I usually set up the constructor of widget subclasses to pass
any keyword to the parent class, like:

    class Application(Frame):
        def __init__(self, master, **kw):
            Frame.__init__(self, master, **kw)

If this is not the problem, please show more of the code and a complete traceback.

I hope this helps
