Hi guys!

I was wondering if python had an option to create an info/note message that doesn't disappear after 5 seconds .. like appuifw.note.

At the moment, im using appuifw.query(u"Press me to go away!", "query")
since appuifw.note disappears after 5 seconds (=

any way to do this?

Cheers,
rexwal

Hi, I'm doing the same thing at the moment.
A nicer way to do it would be to use an appuifw.Text() object and set the exit_key_handler to close the textbox. Text() objects also have nice things like font and colour settings

Hi all,

I'm actually trying to do the opposite - having the query close after a few seconds.

I am reading data off the accelerometer on my Nokia5500, and prompting queries when a particular pattern is detected. But if the pattern was unintentional, I want to prompt to close after a few seconds. How do I do that?

Thanks!

Hi Hyon,

I'm not sure if that's possible. If you can't find any other solution, you could use Cyke64's keypress module to simulate the user's pressing of Cancel (right softkey). See this thread.

Again, there may be a better solution that I'm not aware of. If you find it please post it here for others to learn in the future.

You could utilise the Topwindow, on which you could add some text, then you could listen to a keypress and close the topwindow when the keypress is detected.

I hope thats what you wanted to do,

Could you use appuifw.InfoPopup() as explained here
