Ok, I think it's time to make it public.

appuifw2 is an external module for PyS60 which builds on top of the appuifw module and extends it with additional and improved features.

It provides the same interface which means that you can replace all references to appuifw module in your scripts with appuifw2 and everything should work as expected.

Initially available for 3rd edition devices only.

Introduced extensions focus on many areas of the appuifw module. Here are some highlights:

• Completely rewritten Listbox control, with vertical scrollbar.
• Listbox2 control with many new features including support for empty lists, dynamic adding/removal of items, control of the list view (top/bottom item), markable lists and more.
• Improved Text control with many new features like cursor movement and edit callbacks, control over text selection, cut/copy/paste/undo functions, skinned background, vertical scrollbar, word wrap control, input mode and case control and more.
• Improved Application object (appuifw2.app) with new properties like menu_key_handler, menu_key_text, exit_key_text, navi_text and more.
• Views system to easily manage different application views.
• Menu class for easy manipulation of menus, with support for checkmarks in menu.
• Ability to obtain the phone's language.

The project is hosted on Google Code.

Just downloaded it, and going to test after this pos.

i hope that it is a lot better than standard one, and that there is appuifw2.app.screen='extended' like in menu2.exe

my feedbk will come soon

Well, I hope so too, but keep in mind that it was tested by me only (on a N73) and not for too long (finished it couple of days ago).

The screen property stayed unchanged so far so the possible values are 'normal', 'large' and 'full'. What should this 'extended' mode do and what is the menu2.exe?

-- ADDED --
Ah, you probably mean a tiny navi pane like in applications menu, right? Good idea for future release.

Just a little trick to make the Python Shell skinned.

Open the Python Shell and select Interactive Console from Options menu.
Execute the following commands:

>>> import appuifw, appuifw2, __main__, series60_console
>>> appuifw.Text = lambda t=u'': appuifw2.Text(t, skinned=True)
>>> __main__.my_console = series60_console.Console()
>>>

Now close the interactive console using the Exit key. The screen will switch to a fully skinned Text console. You can reopen the console or start some scripts to test it.

The background remains skinned until you close the Python Shell.

Yes, i was thinking abt that navipane 240x32 screen dimensions.

wow i really like this.
btw would you mind if i decompile appuifw2.pyc to get source code?

if you do, then i wount.

btw thank you for ped, it keeps my apps in publishing mode

btw i was up to make stg like standard menu, that grid list, would that be possible?

and croozeus will announce pys60talks, i hope that i will be able to talk to you there

best regardz

wook

@w00k

Thanks.

No need to decompile anything. It's an open source project, the source of appuifw2.py is here:
http://code.google.com/p/appuifw2/so...ce/appuifw2.py

The file is compiled to speed up importing.

Thank you for appreciating Ped, I was going to publish 2.30 final but got busy with this thing .

Yes, grid list should be doable.

I would like to attend the pys60talks, so far it always turned out in the last minute that I couldn't.

Gr8, make that extension aboug grid with .app.screen='extended'
lol, seems like it will get name extended
Btw fix symbol (*) button in ped and inform me about link
i would fix it my selves, but i cant decompile it. it is wierdly compiled

and i allways use those unsigned testrange sis files wht almost all caps, and it work gr8

use whreles irc or mirggi on phone next time

[y.a.k]

I'll see what I can do.

OFF TOPIC

I don't know of any symbol bug in Ped. Could you please describe it in this thread?

Ped is also open source, you can find its source on its website. I will be glad if you can provide me a fix.

hi y.a.k
great work man.
One cant imagine, for me how much need was there for this kind of module.
But i think its only for 3rd edition devices???
If it is only for 3rd edition devices that its really sad.


Enjoy Pythoning

Hi,

Having the source available, it isn't difficult to run on the 2nd edition devices,

Now that includes some of the feature requests as I can see.

The Documentation also seems to be great...

I say lets include this in the next PyS60 Release

Good Work yak

That would be a dream come true! Not sure how process goes, but I do hope y.a.k and Nokia-powers-to-be would approve some way to include these much desired improvements into next PyS60 release.

Listbox Please, PyS60 people?

Would be happy to help with grid, if there's any chance... Design, develop, test, debug, samples, anything I could do?
