Pyinfobox is an external Python module for PyS60. It is a wrapper for a Symbian C++ function, which displays a scrollable text dialog. This extension is currently only available for PyS60 Series 1.9.X but should be easy to backport to PyS60 1.4.5 (S60 2nd and 3rd).

For usage, examples, and installation instructions visit http://code.google.com/p/pymgfetch/wiki/pyinfobox

So far I've only tested this on my N80, but I'm guessing it should run on any S60 3rd/5th edition phone. Let me know if it works, or if you run into any problems.

Cheers,

Thomas

Hi Thomas ! I will test in the next days. Thanks again for providing these useful extensions !

Hello Marcelo!
So far pyinfobox and pymgfetch have been pretty simple extensions. I read that CAknMessageQueryDialog also supports hyperlinks. For example when installing applications, a link is used to provide more information on the certificate the file was signed with.
When a user clicks on a link a callback function is called. I think as a next step I will try to incorporate this functionality into pyinfobox, but first I have to find the time and figure out how to pass callbacks between PS60 and Symbian C++.

Cheers,

Thomas

Great work, Thomas ! I spent some time today trying to compile your first component and integrating it in my own app (wordmobi). It is running fine and it was easy to deploy the sis using your zip file !

Unfortunately, I could not compile pymgfetch, I am really naive in Symbian C++

Hello Marcelo,
I developed the extension using carbide c++ 2.0, so I unfortunately
don't know anything about using the command line to compile the
extension. The pymgfetch2/pyinfobox2 directories should import into
carbide c++ 2.0, so you could try building the extension from there.

If you just want to get the extension running in the emulator, I
uploaded the necessary files to:
http://code.google.com/p/pymgfetch/downloads/list

that way you won't have to deal with compiling the extension at all.

It took me a while to get a grip of symbian c++ and I'm still very
much a novice, that's why PyS60 is so much better.
Cheers,
Thomas

Thanks a lot for this very useful module!

I am integrating it into the upcoming version of my Magic Video game (home page http://code.google.com/p/magicvideo/)

Building a sis application out of my script, installing and testing went fine using PyS60 1.9.6 and Nokia E90.
