Hi Folks !

Another piece of code from my personal projects ! Now, it is a Basic framework for creating user interface.

It helped me a lot when creating programs with several dialogs. The text is long, I known. Better keep your eyes in the examples ...

Comments and improvements are welcome!

Thanks !

Hi Marcelo,


Once again thanks for a good example!

The code seems really nice

I guess some parts will fit perfectly in my Genius game



Thank you,

Rafael.

Hi People,

I implemented now support for tabs. Really simple to create an application with several tabs. Just replace the body by a list of bodies with the following format:

[(tab_text, body, menu),(tab_text, body, menu),...]

where:

• tab_text: unicode string used in tab
• body: a valid body (Listbox, Text or Canvas)
• menu: menu for that body

Each entry in this list will be displayed in a tab. You can specify a global menu to be added to the bottom of each tab menu. This way, it is simple to share common function (like exit) among all tabs. Just specify this menu when calling Dialog() or Application().

Take a look in the following example, with four tabs:

class MyApp(Application):
    def __init__(self):
        # defining menus for each tab/body
        ma=[(u"menu a",lambda:self.msg(u"menu a"))]
        mb=[(u"menu b",lambda:self.msg(u"menu b"))]
        mc=[(u"menu c",lambda:self.msg(u"menu c"))]
        md=[(u"menu d",lambda:self.msg(u"menu d"))]
        # common menu for all tabs
        common_menu=[(u"common menu",lambda:self.msg(u"common menu"))]
        # bodies
        ba=Listbox([u"a",u"b",u"c"])
        bb=Canvas()
        bc=Text(u"Text")
        bd=Listbox([u"1",u"2",u"3"])
        
        Application.__init__(self,
                             u"MyApp title",
                             [(u"Tab a",ba,ma),(u"Tab b",bb,mb),
                              (u"Tab c",bc,mc),(u"Tab d",bd,md)],
                             common_menu)
 
    def msg(self,m):
        note(m,"info")
        
if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = MyApp()
    app.run()
