Hi there !

My app have multiple tabs, each 'owning' a Text object. My app is something like a multhreaded syslog server, asynchronously updating the tabs.
My problem is that when I add text to a Text object, which is not 'visible' (app.body != Text), it gain focus and appears...
It's really annoying.

Am I missing something ?

hi nono240
it will be easy to help you if you put some light on the coding you are implementing.

The code is trivial. There's 1 Listbox + n Text object. The tab handler take care of attributing app.body to the current tab:

bodies = [ Listbox(), Text(), Text() ]

def tab_handler(i):
    app.body = bodies[i]

There's one thread by Text object, adding text continuously (through a callgate to allow threads to manipulate UI).

Switching from a Text to a Listbox while text is added continue to draw on screen : it seems more like a refresh problem.
Here's a picture.

hi nono240

Not sure but i feel when you do not need to display text continuously you can add the text to a variable and display it to the tab only when needed.
Thus the text is added to variable not to object directly.

It's what I do for the moment, but this is not 'visual efficient' since there's a lot of data added...

hi
well i feel then you should try some string formatting method while adding data.
Hope it will work.

What string formating have to do with my problem ? The visual inefficiency I talked about is that adding text stored in a variable when tabs is displayed is NOT a great visual effect when there's a lot of text to add !

I'd prefer adding text as it arrives. But there's defect in display (see picture link above).
