Hello ,

After searching in the documentation and trying other things i can resolve these following problems !

1) How to use sub-menu in menu. I try to use sublist but it doesn't work :-(

Options -> menu 1 -> submenu 1
-> submenu 2

2) How to exit directly from a python script without entering in Python Installer ?

3) I try and i succeed to use the right soft key (app.exit_key_handler) for making other things than exiting python script but how to change the name of this right soft key ?

4) How to retrieve the text selected in the text editor UI control (with pencil and arrow keys) ?

5) How to capture in the text editor UI control the following keys with bind : Pencil or ABC , alphabetic character ( A,B,C,D etc.) , Keys 0 to 9
Menu key , Red key and Green key , key combinations (pencil and 1) ?

6) How to modify the following properties of the text editor UI control ?

- Font color (It appears in green only ?)
- Font size (Only 8 lines per screen ?)
- Proportional font only ? (Can i use fixed font instead ?)

7) Last but not least ... The callable object in a bind statement is called for a specified event in the following order :


a) callback function setup by bind
b) real function

Can i replace the real function by the callback or inverse the previous calling order ?

Thank you for your answers !

Well, I know this one. Use appuifw.app.set_exit(). Here's a function that only sets this for a script that wasn't executed from the interpreter (such as a py2sis application):

def set_exit_if_standalone():
    """Only set_exit() if this wasn't invoked from the interpreter ui."""
    appname = appuifw.app.full_name()
    if appname[-10:] != u"Python.app":
        appuifw.app.set_exit()

You already got the answer for question 2. Features 1,3,4,6 and 7 are not supported. As to question 5, you should be able to bind at least the green button and the menu key.

This is supported in the new alpha releases (1.1.1 onwards, inclusive):

    appuifw.app.menu = [(u"item 1", func1),
                        (u"Submenu 1", ((u"sub item 1", func2), 
                                        (u"sub item 2", func3) ))
                        ]

Notice though that "py2sis" generated SIS files will not be able to use sub-menus yet - this results in "CONE 14" panic. There is a workaround though: "unsis" the release package and move the "python.rsc" to folder "templates" (under "py2sis") and rename "python.rsc" to "pyrsc_template.tmp".

This is now supported in the 1.1 series.
