I've extensively searched for help and found only this link: http://www.learningpython.com/2006/03/27/using-menus-in-tkinter/ someone else has had the same problem but no solution is posted. Additionally, I find that if I make a new window with toplevel, widgets on the window will not display immediately, but will after the window is refreshed. With Tile so easily available, I really don't want to invest in learning another GUI toolkit for python. Tkinter solves all my needs (I'm a scientific programmer) and really I just want to make a more friendly and user oriented scientific application. Thanks if you can help!

As you noticed in your first code example, this did work, but not exactly as you expected. The reason is that the two Tcl interpreters cause some unwanted side effects, because they can coexist, but not interact; for example, (IIRC) you created two IntVars, but IntVar2 inside the second Tcl interpreter, which will not work when trying to use it as textvariable for a Label belonging to Tcl interpreter #1 ; if the application becomes more complex, it will obviously become hard to avoid running into traps like this, when OTOH there is not really a benefit from the second Tk() window.

Worse, each Tk() instance opens a "graphical context", and *their* behavior isn't well-defined beyond one-per-process.

I am trying to make an application in Tkinter that goes to Tray instead of closing. I have programmed the whole interface, including notifications in Tkinter. The problem is, I could not find any library to make the tray icon itself, so I built a tray icon class using wxPython that runs on a separate thread. So basically now, I'm withdrawing the main Tk window, and then showing the tray icon. The core problem, however, is that while the system tray icon (aka wx main loop) is active, the main program built in Tk completely freezes, including it's notifications. So, my question is, how to make the tray icon thread run in the background, and still have my main program functional? class trayIcon(object): def __init__(self): #setup app self.app=wx.PySimpleApp() #setup icon object self.actualIcon = wx.Icon(icon, wx.BITMAP_TYPE_ICO) #setup taskbar icon self.tbicon = wx.TaskBarIcon() self.tbicon.SetIcon(self.actualIcon, name) #add taskbar icon event wx.EVT_TASKBAR_RIGHT_UP(self.tbicon, self.right) wx.EVT_TASKBAR_LEFT_DCLICK(self.tbicon, self.left) self.app.MainLoop() def right(self,event): global shouldQuit self.app.ExitMainLoop() shouldQuit=True def left(self,event): self.app.ExitMainLoop() class Thread(threading.Thread): def __init__(self, main): threading.Thread.__init__(self) self.setName("wx") self.main=main def run(self): self.Icon=trayIcon() and here is how I defined it in the main program (must state that this is a class method itself): def toTray(self): global shouldQuit self.main.withdraw() self.myTray=Thread(self.Main) self.myTray.start() while self.myTray.isAlive(): pass if shouldQuit: self.Quit() else: self.main.deiconify() I'm calling the isAlive() method to wait for the wx loop to be ended through it's controls, and then show the main window again; I know this holds up the function in place, but that should not hold the entire program should it? I must state that using wx to do the entire interface would not be a choice, as I find it a lot harder to use than Tk. Another solution to the problem would be pointing me to a more convenient tray icon constructor (instructions how to use would be greatly appreciated) if you know any. I hope someone can help me.

Is it included in Tk already? I think you will have to download winico-0.6.zip from http://sourceforge.net/projects/tktable/files/ and copy the winico-0.6 folder into your Python's Tcl folder so that Tk can find it. Unfortunately there does not seem to be a Tkinter wrapper available, so you will have to write it yourself :( >From a quick glance at the winico manpage a quick'n'dirty wrapper could look like this (untested!): ############# file Winico.py ############################## import Tkinter class Winico: def __init__(self, filename): master = Tkinter._default_root if not master: raise RuntimeError, 'Too early to create icon' self.WinicoVersion = master.tk.call('package', 'require', 'winico') self.tk = master.tk def createfrom(self, filename): return self.tk.call('winico', 'createfrom', filename) def delete(self, id_): self.tk.call('winico', 'delete', id_) def load(self, resourcename, filename=None): return self.tk.call('winico', 'load', resourcename, filename) def info(self, id_=None): # the output should of course be formatted somehow return self.tk.call('winico', 'info', id_) def setwindow(self, size='big', pos=None): return self.tk.call('winico', 'setwindow', size, pos) def taskbar_add(self, id_, callback=None, pos=None, text=None): args = () if callback: args += ('-callback', callback) if pos: args += ('-pos', pos) if text: args += ('-text', text) return self.tk.call('winico', 'taskbar', 'add', id_, *args) def taskbar_modify(self, id_, callback=None, pos=None, text=None): args = () if callback: args += ('-callback', callback) if pos: args += ('-pos', pos) if text: args += ('-text', text) return self.tk.call('winico', 'taskbar', 'modify', id_, *args) def taskbar_delete(self, id_): return self.tk.call('winico', 'taskbar', 'delete', id_) ######################################################### If you compare this with the winico man page from http://tktable.sourceforge.net/winico/winico.html you will probably see the point how this is supposed to work. Another problem is how to write the callback function for mouse clicks onto the icon. I guess you will have to add the percent substitutions and register the callback manually, like: import Tkinter, Winico root = Tkinter.Tk() def your_callback(icon_id, message_specifier): if message_specifier == "WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK": (... do something with icon_id...) elif message_specifier == "WM_RBUTTONDOWN": (... do something else with icon_id...) # register the callback for Tk: cmd = (root.register(your_callback), '%i', '%m') # create an icon icon = Winico.Winico() icon_id = icon.createfrom("some.ico") icon.taskbar_add(icon_id, callback=cmd, text="Your text here") I think you see the point, how the percent substitutions are passed to the callback. I hope this helps Michael PS: I forwarded this to the list, maybe it is interesting for other people, too, I hope that's ok.

I would recommend you to try using PIL (Python Image Library) for image uploading. Also please note that latest PIL 1.1.7 allows using PNG images with alpha channel.

You can try this with an "import ttk" statement, if this fails you can download the ttk module from here: < http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyttk > and, after you installed it, you should be able to do something like: from Tkinter import * import ttk root = Tk() tree = ttk.Treeview(root) I hope this helps Michael From flahertyk1 at hotmail.com Thu Apr 22 03:30:22 2010 From: flahertyk1 at hotmail.com (kimmyaf) Date: Wed, 21 Apr 2010 18:30:22 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [Tkinter-discuss] Combobox - global var not found In-Reply-To: <28286729.post@talk.nabble.com> References: <28286729.post@talk.nabble.com> Message-ID: <28323292.post@talk.nabble.com> Thanks for the replies.

The screenshot shows the canvas in a second window, which works but is apparently not what you want (BTW, in your code you use a second instance of Tkinter.Tk() to open the second window, which is one of the upper case "don't"s in Tkinter :) If you need a second window you should use Tkinter.Toplevel() instead). >From the commented out parts of your code I think you meant to do: #define a new frame and put a text area in it self.imgframe=Frame(self.frame) #tkinter_phimg = ImageTk.PhotoImage(i) # can do only after Tk()! self.canvas = Tkinter.Canvas(self.imgframe, width=50, height=50) self.canvas.pack() Not sure what you tried already, but here self.imgframe is never pack()ed, so maybe the solution is as simple as that? Or, have you tried to omit self.imgframe and put the canvas directly into self.frame , and if yes, what exactly happened?

There are even more, including "pure Tk" alternatives, but they're recommended only for special situations. It's definitely right to focus first on Pmw and ttk.

In case anybody else have problems with this, here is what I did to have ttk working: 1. I just download ttk from here: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyttk 2. After downloading the file, decompress it. 3. Double click in the setup.py file, which create the ttk.pyc, and copy both, the ttk.py and ttk.pyc into %Python%\Lib\lib-tk After that one should be able to use the ttk modules.

Therefore to use latest Tcl/Tk versions in distributable application you need compiling a bundle for your application and recompile _tkinter.so It's just a theory. We have no ported yet sK1 application on MacOS X platform so I can just supposing this. But the same issues were under Linux platform right after Tcl/Tk 8.5 release. Fortunately, under Linux package repositories allow managing different version of Tcl/Tk libraries.

That's a lot of questions :) Maybe one of the gurus here can explain better than me why exactly there must not be more than one mainloop. I think the problem with your stopped while loop happens because the mainloop() does not return until the main application window is destroyed. You can verify this by adding a "print" statement after the second mainloop() to the new() function in your previous example. If you are not able to display images in the Toplevel window there is surely something else wrong with your code, so maybe you can post a short code example that shows this problem? It should definitely be possible to put images in a Toplevel without a second mainloop :) Regards Michael From waynejwerner at gmail.com Wed Apr 28 22:06:18 2010 From: waynejwerner at gmail.com (Wayne Werner) Date: Wed, 28 Apr 2010 15:06:18 -0500 Subject: [Tkinter-discuss] Returning control from a toplevel In-Reply-To: <20100428203223.77d899a4.klappnase@web.de> References: <136229730319579015045648507306353248985-Webmail@me.com> <20100428203223.77d899a4.klappnase@web.de> Message-ID: On Wed, Apr 28, 2010 at 1:32 PM, Michael Lange wrote: > That's a lot of questions :) > Maybe one of the gurus here can explain better than me why exactly > there must not be more than one mainloop.

Imagine: while True: do A while True: do B You'll have a lot of A, but no more B. That's an overly simplified version of what's going on, but it's still accurate enough. Tkinter has an event loop that has a few tasks: 1) draw everything, 2) listen for events such as keypresses and mouse clicks, 3) emit events/call callbacks There may be some others, but those are the essential ones. When you try to create two mainloops all of those draw/listen/emit tasks collide and it's not pretty. Michael is correct that you should be able to draw the image without having to resort to two mainloops. Without seeing your code what I would guess is the problem is that you're spawning the window from within your infinite loop - and guess what? Remember those events that the mainloop is supposed to be taking care of? They never happen because the mainloop is awaiting control. A quick example: import Tkinter as tk def looper(): while True: pass root = tk.Tk() b = tk.Button(root, text="Hi", command=looper) b.pack() root.mainloop() Fire that up (from command line preferably) and click the button. Notice how you cannot do anything else? That's because the mainloop is waiting for control that it never gets because it's continually executing the while loop. You now have to kill or ctrl+c the program to break out of the infinite loop. But notice that if you haven't pushed anything else and just hit ctrl+c then your program is still running. The control has been passed back to the main loop of your program. Another interesting thing to notice is (at least it works for me) if you click the close button while the infinite loop is waiting, and then ctrl+c the program quits. Why? Because the click was passed into tkinter's event queue and it was just waiting to be handled. Anyhow, HTH, Wayne -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

But you need to add the reference to the PhotoImage object, in this case photo1, not the PIL Image. Alternatively you can define the PhotoImage globally, i.e. outside your pic() function.

Message-ID: Hi all, I was thinking of porting my python application to an iPad, I see that there is general support for python on these devices via PyObjC. However, no support for Tkinter, that I can see. Anyone know of such support? Mick
