Subject: Re: event handler function for PyLbc
I usually don't persist in asking a question if no one answers, but I
now have two applications that I would very much like to continue
writing. Both use a gui and I would very much like to use lbc in them,
but if I cannot get the event handler to work, then I will not be able
to use lbc. So... any ideas on why the event handler would not print
the name of any buttons except OK and Cancel? This is, I think, the
core of my problem. Here again is the example I am using as a basic
test. Run it and hit enter on all three buttons. Instead of printing
the name of each, you will find that only button_OK and button_Cancel
are printed, never button_test.
import wx, lbc
def evt_handler(d, e):
c=e.GetEventObject()
print c.GetName()
if e.GetEventType() in wx.EVT_CLOSE.evtType or c.GetName()=="Button_Cancel":
d.Destroy()
if c.GetName()==b.GetName():
lbc.DialogShow("popup", "the button was clicked")
app=lbc.App()
dlg=lbc.Dialog(title="test")
b=dlg.AddButton(label="test")
dlg.ShowModal(buttons=['OK', 'Cancel'], handler=evt_handler)

The line
b=dlg.AddButton(label="test")
creates a button in the variable named "b". I refer to this in my
function. The event handler should be able to use that. The bigger
problem, though, is that my event handler is supposed to print the
result of GetName() on all controls, but it only works on any default
OK and Cancel buttons created by ShowModal(). If you run it and press
enter on the test button, nothing is printed. Click the Cancel button,
though, and that button's name gets printed. This leads me to believe
that the event handler is, for some reason, not seeing my button at
all. I have been through the fruit basket demo many times, and I
thought I was following its model, using GetName() to get the control
name and then comparing and finding the control from there. Is there
something I am missing that would clear all this up? Thanks.

Hi,
I am not understanding the example. You refer to more than one button
but your code only creates a Test button.
The pyLbc.zip archive includes a fruit basket program with Add and
Delete buttons, illustrating that other buttons can be defined. Also,
the McTwit application has a main dialog with many buttons, based on
pyLbc (though McTwit does not work with the current Twitter security
scheme).
Hopefully I can help if I understand the problem better.

Hi all,
I am trying to use PyLbc to make some dialogs. The problem is that I
cannot seem to get the event handler function to see any buttons I
create, only the default OK and Cancel buttons added by lbc. Below is
a simple test. Run it, and make sure to click all three buttons,
Cancel last. You will see that only Button_OK and Button_Cancel get
printed, not Button_test. My question is: why is this? If I could get
all buttons working I would not have a problem, since I could write
code for all the buttons in my dialogs, but I can do nothing if only
two default buttons are recognized.
Code:
import wx, lbc
def evt_handler(d, e):
c=e.GetEventObject()
print c.GetName()
if e.GetEventType() in wx.EVT_CLOSE.evtType or
c.GetName()=="Button_Cancel":
d.Destroy()
if c.GetName()==b.GetName():
lbc.DialogShow("popup", "the button was clicked")
app=lbc.App()
dlg=lbc.Dialog(title="test")
b=dlg.AddButton(label="test")
dlg.ShowModal(handler=evt_handler)
