Suppose I need to replace the raw_input function in the following code with a wxPython dialog box that asks for user input and returns the value to program:
...
x = raw_input("What's your name?")
print 'Your name was', x
...
I'm just looking for a simple way to do that. Thanks
Here is another simple way that does what I was looking for:
import wx
def ask(parent=None, message='', default_value=''):
dlg = wx.TextEntryDialog(parent, message, defaultValue=default_value)
dlg.ShowModal()
result = dlg.GetValue()
dlg.Destroy()
return result
# Initialize wx App
app = wx.App()
app.MainLoop()
# Call Dialog
x = ask(message = 'What is your name?')
print 'Your name was', x
defaultValue parameter, it's just value
defaultValue is mentioned in the documentation and I'm sure that this code worked correctly at the time.
defaultValue= default_value to value= default_value This is fairly trivial. Here is one way.
import wx
class Frame(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self, parent, title):
wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, title=title, size=(-1, -1))
self.panel = wx.Panel(self)
self.Bind(wx.EVT_CLOSE, self.OnCloseWindow)
self.btn = wx.Button(self.panel, -1, "Name-a-matic")
self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.GetName, self.btn)
self.txt = wx.TextCtrl(self.panel, -1, size=(140,-1))
self.txt.SetValue('name goes here')
sizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
sizer.Add(self.btn)
sizer.Add(self.txt)
self.panel.SetSizer(sizer)
self.Show()
def GetName(self, e):
dlg = wx.TextEntryDialog(self.panel, 'Whats yo name?:',"name-o-rama","",
style=wx.OK)
dlg.ShowModal()
self.txt.SetValue(dlg.GetValue())
dlg.Destroy()
def OnCloseWindow(self, e):
self.Destroy()
app = wx.App()
frame = Frame(None, 'My Nameomatic')
app.MainLoop()
And here is another way:
import wx
class NameDialog(wx.Dialog):
def __init__(self, parent, id=-1, title="Enter Name!"):
wx.Dialog.__init__(self, parent, id, title, size=(-1, -1))
self.mainSizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
self.buttonSizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.HORIZONTAL)
self.label = wx.StaticText(self, label="Enter Name:")
self.field = wx.TextCtrl(self, value="", size=(300, 20))
self.okbutton = wx.Button(self, label="OK", id=wx.ID_OK)
self.mainSizer.Add(self.label, 0, wx.ALL, 8 )
self.mainSizer.Add(self.field, 0, wx.ALL, 8 )
self.buttonSizer.Add(self.okbutton, 0, wx.ALL, 8 )
self.mainSizer.Add(self.buttonSizer, 0, wx.ALL, 0)
self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.onOK, id=wx.ID_OK)
self.Bind(wx.EVT_TEXT_ENTER, self.onOK)
self.SetSizer(self.mainSizer)
self.result = None
def onOK(self, event):
self.result = self.field.GetValue()
self.Destroy()
def onCancel(self, event):
self.result = None
self.Destroy()
class Frame(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self, parent, title):
wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, title=title, size=(-1, -1))
self.panel = wx.Panel(self)
self.Bind(wx.EVT_CLOSE, self.OnCloseWindow)
self.btn = wx.Button(self.panel, -1, "Name-a-matic")
self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.GetName, self.btn)
self.txt = wx.TextCtrl(self.panel, -1, size=(140,-1))
self.txt.SetValue('name goes here')
sizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
sizer.Add(self.btn)
sizer.Add(self.txt)
self.panel.SetSizer(sizer)
self.Show()
def GetName(self, e):
dlg = NameDialog(self)
dlg.ShowModal()
self.txt.SetValue(dlg.result)
def OnCloseWindow(self, e):
self.Destroy()
app = wx.App()
frame = Frame(None, 'My Nameomatic')
app.MainLoop()
app.MainLoop() at the end of your first way
