Re: TkTable changing the entry widgets

I would suggest embedding these widgets, and others, instead of trying
to replace the default behaviour of a cell entry in tktable.
Embedding is easy enough given your tktable python wrapper has the
window commands wrapped:

import Tkinter
import tktable

table = tktable.Table()
table.window_configure("2,3", window=Tkinter.Entry())
table.pack()

table.mainloop()

I'm using Tkinter.Entry here, but you could just as well use this
AutoCompleteEntry widget. This "2,3" is the cell index -- third row,
fourth column.
The wrapper I used there can be found at XXX (forgot the link, it is
on http://tkinter.unpythonic.net/wiki but the wiki is inaccessible
now) and also in tktable's cvs since about 1-2 month(s) ago (except
that the one in cvs doesn't yet have the latest updates).

http://tkinter.unpythonic.net/ is down / unrechable

Hi all,
 
Just wanted to know did someone take http://tkinter.unpythonic.net/ down for maintainance ? I hope it will be back soon learning a lot about tkinter from it.

I've added something here now:

SortableTable but someone else took it before me)

Python2.5.1+Tkinter+Tile0.8.2

Dear Tkinter users/developers,

I'm just starting out in Python Tkinter programming, and I tried to use the Tile module to improve the looks of the Tk program I am writing.

When I run the script written in <code></code> below, it works fine, using the Tile module to make the Tk look ok. However, when I try to use tkMessageBox.showwarning() as in the script, it fails with the error below. I've tried to cat | grep for "background" in the files mentionned in the error, but nothing turns up. I can't find where the "-background" switch is getting stuck in. I know the "background" switch doesn't work with Tile, but I can't find it to remove it. Any ideas please?

Thanks,

Nawal.

Here's the script:

root = Tk()
root.tk.call('package', 'require', 'tile')

toolbar = Frame(root)

b = Button(toolbar, text="new", width=6, command=callback)
b.pack(side=LEFT, padx=2, pady=2)

b = Button(toolbar, text="open", width=6, command=callback)
b.pack(side=LEFT, padx=2, pady=2)

toolbar.pack(side=TOP, fill=X)

status = Label(root, text="", relief=SUNKEN, anchor=W)
status.pack(side=BOTTOM, fill=X)

# create a menu
menu = Menu(root)
root.config(menu=menu)

filemenu = Menu(menu)
menu.add_cascade(label="File", menu=filemenu)
filemenu.add_command(label="New", command=callback)
filemenu.add_command(label="Open...", command=callback)
filemenu.add_separator()
filemenu.add_command(label="Exit", command=callback)

#tkMessageBox.showwarning("Open file","Cannot open this file\n")

mainloop()
</code>

Problem with grid layout

Hello everybody,

I have a problem with the grid management.

Here is the following simple script:

######################################################################
from Tkinter import *
root = Tk()
f = Frame(root)
f.grid(row = 0, column = 0, sticky = W)

f1 = Frame(f, relief = GROOVE, bd = 2)
f1.grid(row = 0, column = 0, sticky = W)
str1 = StringVar(root,'%-20s' % 'Label')
Label(f1, textvariable = str1, anchor = W).grid(row = 0, column = 0, 
sticky = W)
Button(f1, text = 'Button1').grid(row = 0, column = 1)

f2 = Frame(f, relief = GROOVE, bd = 2)
f2.grid(row = 1, column = 0, sticky = W)
str2 = StringVar(root,'%-20s' % 'BiggerLabel')
Label(f2, textvariable = str2, anchor = W).grid(row = 0, column = 0, 
sticky = W)
Button(f2, text = 'Button2').grid(row = 0, column = 1)

root.mainloop()
######################################################################

I would expect that script to produce two frames with exactly the same 
size but it is not the case.
However the two labels have the same size by construction (i.e. 20).

Would you have any idea ?

thank you very much

strings of same length won't give you labels of same size, since that
matters nothing when you are not using a monospace font.
If you just want frames with same size, change theirs stickys to "ew".

Scrolling canvas (Including all widgets on it)


I'm trying to make a canvas scrollable, but the problem is I can only get
things that I've drawn, or what not on the canvas to move. I want to be able
to move every widget (In this case, 70 odd entry boxes, and a few labels)

The full code is http://www.nomorepasting.com/getpaste.php?pasteid=23309

Re: Scrolling canvas (Including all widgets on it)

Hi Waffles,

  Rather than using place() to put widgets within the canvas,
you need to actually draw them. Use the canvas method: create_window()

E.g., taking two of your lines:

    self.topic_label = Label(self.label, text='Topic:', font=15, bg='white')
    self.topic_label.place(x=16, y=8)

Should be:

    self.topic_label = Label(self.label, text='Topic:', font=15, bg='white')
    self.label.create_window(16, 8, window=self.topic_label, anchor=NW)
