SayTools
Version 1.6
By Jamal Mazrui
This version adds many convenience dialogs that a COM client can use.
They were developed with the wxPython package and a module called Layout
by Code, available at
http://EmpowermentZone.com/pyLbc.zip
Since SayTools now bundles wxPython, the capability is present for
implementing additional, custom dialogs by executing Python source code
dynamically at runtime. The new built-in methods create common dialogs
with parameters that configure them. Parameters may include a window
title, message below that, labels for edit boxes and buttons, or display
names and underlying values for listboxes. An empty string may be passed
if a parameter is not needed. To specify a sequence of items, use a
vertical tab character (ASCII code 11 or \v symbol) to seperate them.
When a method returns multiple items, it also uses a string with this
delimiter (since not all programming languages support a COM array type,
this technique is used instead). The batch file dialogs.bat illustrates
over 10 different dialogs summarized below.
DialogBrowseForFolder(sMessage, sValue) -- Select a folder
DialogChoose(sTitle, sMessage, sNames) -- Choose a button
DialogConfirm(sTitle, sMessage, sValue) -- Choose from a Yes/No/Cancel
message box
DialogInput(sTitle, sLabel, sValue) -- Input a value with a single-line
edit box
DialogMemo(sTitle, sLabel, sValue, bReadOnly) -- Input or read text with a
multi-line rich edit box
DialogMultiInput(sTitle, sLabels, sValues) -- Input values with multiple
edit boxes
DialogMultiPick(sTitle, sMessage, sNames, sValues, bSort, iIndex) -- Pick
from a multiple-selection listbox
DialogOpenFile(sMessage, sValue) -- Specify a file to open
DialogPick(sTitle, sMessage, sNames, sValues, bSort, iIndex) -- Pick from
a single-selection listbox, optionally sorting and setting an initial
index
DialogSaveFile(sMessage, sValue) -- Specify a file to save
DialogShow(sTitle, sMessage) -- Show a message
