Hey,
can someone tell me how to set a frame size in tkinter to actually 0?
top_frame = Frame(window, height = 20, width = 100, bg = 'blue')
top_frame.pack_packpropagate(0) # disable rescaling
top_frame.pack(expand = False)
mid_frame = Frame(window, height = 0, width = 100, bg = 'green')
mid_frame.pack_propagate(0)
mid_frame.pack(expand = False)
bot_frame = Frame(window, height = 20, width = 100, bg = 'red')
bot_frame.pack_propagate(0)
bot_frame.pack(expand = False)
mid_frame is still at least 1 px high

So I created the pyqt5 design on designer then converted to py file

Normally I would edit that file and attach functions to buttons
But there was the issue of : if I wanted to change the gui design, it deletes all that stuff

I'm working on a PyQt5 app, I want to implement something similar to the classic "File>New".
For the time being I'm triggering a function that resets every field to its default value but I think as the application is getting bigger this could be a lot of repetition in the code and the execution time might become an issue.
Is there a way to reistantiate the main window with an action?

Just add a menu bar, then connect the widget 'new' to the function you wanna call ? Done?

Hey,
i created a Frame with tkinter.
The Frame has a height of 0.
When pressing a certain button the frames content gets created or deleted.
Even though the height is set to 0 the frame is about 1-2 px high on startup.
When content gets added the Frame will resize to fit its content as desired.
When content is deleted the Frame will stay it the size of the deleted content instead of scaling down to 0.
Can someone help me with this?
Note: When i readd content of a smaler size than the old content the Frame will scale down to fit the content, but when i remove all content it will stay at the size it was when it had content.

@wispy zephyr@keen path
Yes, I did use that method but there's a problem
The color between text and background has a slightly different shade of color that doesn't get removed
Example, red & black text on white background
-transparentcolor white
I tried to make it smooth by making the BG 'the same' as the text color
By 1 different on RGB color (0,0,1) to (0,0,0) for example
It kinda works but still depends on the color, it's a bit bad on some color (pixelated or very thin)

Create a restart function which destroys your existing window (also main function) and starts a new loop, given you have defined your mainloop as a function. Later you can direct the restart button tho restart function. Recursion is the best way to go about it.
vale orchid
Oh okay, understood. I'll give it a go right now and let you know
vale orchid
Create a restart function which destroys your existing window (also main functio...
So, would I self.destroy() first and then call the main function?
@split ferry I did what you mentioned, and the program restarts correctly. But the first window does not close
I end up with 2 windows, but the 2nd one works as expected
def exitrestart(self):
self.destroy()
rerun()
def rerun():
if __name__ == '__main__':
app = MainWindow()
app.mainloop()
Give me a couple of minutes. I'll try this code and get back to you.
split ferry
Sure
@vale orchid
import tkinter as tk
def main():
global window
window=tk.Tk()
window.columnconfigure(0,minsize=800)
window.rowconfigure(0,minsize=600)
button=tk.Button(master=window,text='Generate',command=okay)
button.grid(row=10,column=4,pady=15,ipady=12,ipadx=12,sticky='e')
def okay():
global window
window.destroy()
main()
main()
window.mainloop()
You can use the same logic. It works fine
split ferry
I end up with 2 windows, but the 2nd one works as expected
Probably because your main window hasn't been shut down. Then again, without your code i cannot do much.
vale orchid
You can use the same logic. It works fine
Makes sense, I'm trying it out
split ferry
Okay
vale orchid
Probably because your main window hasn't been shut down. Then again, without you...
Umm, It's about 600 lines of code. Would you like to have a look at it?
split ferry
Try the logic first. If it doesn't work, then share the code.
vale orchid
Yup
I'm having a doubt here. I'm using classes to define the frames. So do I have to move all the classes into a main() function and then try this logic?
split ferry
Not really. Just initialize the classes within the main function
@vale orchid All the static code can stay outside the function, but all the working code has to go in. If your working code needs the class, then it has to go in
vale orchid
<@!220201158260555776> All the static code can stay outside the function, but al...
Yea. My functions are inside the classes that require it, so I'd have to shift my entire code inside main() I believe
split ferry
Yea, exactly
vale orchid
if __name__ == '__main__':
app = MainWindow()
app.mainloop()
Only this bit would be outside I think
Am I mistaken?
split ferry
what about app=mainwindow() line? you need to recreate it every time you click restart, right?
vale orchid
Yes
Ohhh, makes more sense now
This HAS to be inside the loop too, and then I can execute the logic you showed
split ferry
yea. If you read the code i sent you carefully, i have called a new window in every recursive loop after destroying the old one.
So, you have to create a new tkinter window within the main() function
split ferry
Welcome! I can feel your excitement lol

ping me if anyone answers pls
split ferry
@bleak egret I'm not sure if I got your question right, but I assume you want to change the text in label 1 whenever you click Convert button.
If I'm not wrong, your 'x' within the ok() function is a local variable and it is not changing the default value of global x. Try adding a line "global x" within ok() and run it. If it doesn't work, then you can use label.configure method to directly change the text within the ok() function.
bleak egret
I tried that still doesn’t work
split ferry
Global x?
split ferry
Okay. There are resources on stack exchange in how to use it. Do refer them. Also, global x won't work if your label1 is not getting updated recursively
Ping me if it doesn't work. I'll write the logic and send it to you

so basically, you want a label to become visible when you press a button
bronze basin
just hide the label and when you press the button show it?
unique forge
@bronze basin that isn't very helpful
at least tell him how to
anyway, you need to do self.ui.label.show and self.ui.label.hide and then connect it to a button, like so
self.ui.label.hide
self.ui.pushButton.clicked.connect(self.showbutton)
def showbutton(self):
self.ui.label.show
yeah I wasnt fully on my pc so didnt have time to post the code before you posted it haha

but last time your answer was wrong, you said that you can't use QT Designer for Commercial use

Here's the code:

Sticky represents the direction the widget gravitates toward. In this case, the text should gravitate toward the north of the gui
n represents north

Hey all so I'm using a slightly modified version of a custom pyqt5 widget I found for a custom EV dash display: https://github.com/StefanHol/AnalogGaugeWidgetPyQt
I just profiled my code, and although I have several dozen other labels, buttons, sliders, and progressbars, this one widget is responsible for 95.5% of the cpu time for the entire GUI, because when updating the value of the analog needle it calls self.update() which redraws the entire widget including static elements like the radial scale, scale text, scale markers, etc... the only dynamic element, the needle, requires just 2% as much time to draw as all these elements...
I realize I could get around this by just duplicating the widget to create a 'static' one with hidden needle and another 'active' one with only the needle visible. But there must be a better way to update just part of this widget? I've read repaint() should not be used directly.
rotund vault
Hmm even with those elements disabled, they are still being updated with self.update, so I'm not actually working around the issue. Seems I would have to fork it into two widgets, a static and dynamic widget to optimize speed while using the otherwise optimized builtin .update() method.

There's ttk, a more advanced (and poorly documented) version of Tkinter which uses native OS elements and a theming system to make GUIs. But there are better options, like PyQT, which comes with PyQT designer which is a drag and drop window creation tool, it will write the code for the window for you, you just have to write the backend stuff

Anyone with PyQT5/Pyside2 experience? I'm having trouble fixing something:
On software, for example, discord, when you maximize the window, if you go to the title bar with your cursor and try to move the window, the window would unmaximize and you would be able to move it as it was before with the cursor locked onto the same place it gripped on in the first place.
I have done this with my program, however, when you try to move the maximized window, it unmaximizes like how it was before. The grip is still there so you can still move the window but the cursor is not gripped onto the window as it is moving.
How would I solve this problem?

# get the data entered in textField. Use getText () method

# if selection is "encode" = use encode_text () method, otherwise

# "decode_text () to obtain encrypted or decrypted text

messagebox.showerror('Error','Error: Text must be lower case')
elif(MSG.isspace() != MSG):
messagebox.showerror('Error','Error: text must not contain spaces')
elif (MSG.isdigit() != MSG):
messagebox.showerror('Error','Error: text cannot contain numbers')
Do you really need to have an error for this?

I think forcing the text to lower case would be easier and less problematic
molten basalt
because its part of the project parameters

Okay, then just use if/else
there isn't an exception that covers a text case

not actually raise a python error or catch something in try/except?

so im building a UI and integrating another loop that updates the UI. Im working...
I wrote this up once, the general idea is having a self-calling .after routine which repeatedly checks a queue the thread writes into: https://gist.github.com/Square789/46b0fdf0905c229567798ff9f3ebc275
The queue contains tuples where the first element is an enum-ish signal constant and the next elements can be pretty much whatever information you want to pass between thread and UI.
It gets more complex though if you want to i. e. stop a running thread or ensure a safe and quick shutdown of your app with running threads, just ping me if you have more questions regarding that

sorry chris for not coming back earlier, my dad needed my help before you responded so I had to go AFK
@eager beacon
eager beacon
I don't know
are you trying to encode a non existant MSG, or is it that delete?
If you just need to show a message box I don't see a reason for using try/except since you there are no exceptions for when the case doesn't match what you say it should be.
you'd have to define you're own exception for that
