[dusk oriole]

when i click play i want it to open this

how can i do it

[dusk oriole]

HELLO?

IS ANYWON HERE

[wary fable]

@digital rose can you send me an invite to your tkinter server?

[modern marsh]

Yes

[hazy cosmos]

(If i understood you)
create another function with all the game content and then add py myButton = Button(root, text="Play!", pady=50, command = **yourfuncname**)
then it will link the button to the function and move to the function

ofcourse u will need to create screen2 in the new function

[hazy cosmos]

then paste the code of this into big function then type it in the startupgui.py

[shadow quest]

How can i run my app without pycharm?

[north ore]

google panda3d

[copper tangle]

go to command prompt and copy your project path then, write (if u use windows) cd 'path' in your command prompt

and write python projectname.py

[north ore]

python <python file>

[copper tangle]

.

[north ore]

but u gotta cd into it though

[copper tangle]

I explained above

[dusty scarab]

What's the best UI framework to handle a Text widget like buffer?

[hazy cosmos]

working on new project

[opal reef]

Hii! This is new to the server a CS student ... just learning ....would you guys please help me regarding new concepts...

[hazy cosmos]

help with what

[opal reef]

Its tell me about new programs how to operate them like thiss...

[hazy cosmos]

learn python basic then tkinter as example

[opal reef]

I am familiar with some of the basics of python

Just started learning this year

[hazy cosmos]

i would say learn the basic even more good
then learn how to use tkinter

[opal reef]

okay!

would you please tell me something about tkinter

@hazy cosmos

[hazy cosmos]

sure y not

mmm its some kind of libary or something that allowd you to make windows using python

buttons, inputs,labels and stuff

as example this

[opal reef]

Okay

Anything else for me?

[modern marsh]

its a GUI library

see yt videos or the documentation to learn it

[dusk oriole]

im using ursina not panda3d

[north ore]

cool

you coded it yourself?

[hazy cosmos]

Feel free to help me there tkinter guys

[olive quartz]

from tkinter import *

def login_button_clicked():
    login_window = Tk()
    login_window.geometry("400x400")
    login_window.title("Login Page")


welcome_window = Tk()
welcome_window.geometry("400x400")
welcome_window.title("Password Hasher Tester")
welcome_window_header = Label(welcome_window, text="Welcome! You can either login or register here.", font='Helvetica')
welcome_window_header.place(x=45, y=80)

login_button = Button(welcome_window, text="Login", fg='white', bg='gray', command=login_button_clicked())
login_button.place(x=180, y=180)

register_button = Button(welcome_window, text="Register", fg='white', bg='gray')
register_button.place(x=175, y=230)

welcome_window.mainloop()

i want to make it so that when i click the login_button

the login_window opens

but right now that window opens as soon as i run the program

can anyone help?

[lofty pond]

command=login_button_clicked()

Make sure to not call the function

[olive quartz]

wait what

@lofty pond what do i do then

if i dont call the funciton

?

[lofty pond]

When you want a button to run a function, you do not put the parentheses

[olive quartz]

ok i see what u mean i removed the parentheses

also another question

now everytime i click login it opens a new login window

do u know how i can prevent this? @lofty pond

like if the login window is already oepned i dont want to allow another one to open

[lofty pond]

Probably assign the window to a variable and when you press the button, check the variable.

[olive quartz]

ok thanks

[olive quartz]

im trying to make my gui class structured

does anyone know how i can make a function that opens a new window when i use it as a command for a button

[mint cloak]

Im using npyscreen and i have a weird issue
https://kitsunehosting.net/nextcloud/index.php/s/bKqAeq2ZcoTTFtR/preview
if line 22 is above line 23, it works fine, if they're the other way around, i get this
https://kitsunehosting.net/nextcloud/index.php/s/yecgJSPLGBLgTDF/preview
Code here: https://kitsunehosting.net/gitea/Kenwood/SNHU-IT-140/src/branch/npyscreen-adventure-game/Adventure Game/adventure_game/main.py

Im just very confused~

[austere dove]

I'm using tkinter to make an application, and for the application I am making a custom title bar. I used overrideredirect(1) to get rid of the native OS title bar, but how would I go about adding the program back into the native Window Manager so that it shows up in Task Manager and on my Taskbar. I don't want the native title bar to reappear though, and that's where I am stuck.

[dusty scarab]

Best answer I can give you: http://tkinter.programujte.com/tkinter-dialog-windows.htm

Either that, or use a Label() as an alternate titlebar. Then you have to bind() several events to achieve the same result.

[austere dove]

So this will let me change the color, correct?

[dusty scarab]

You can change the color of the label if you go that route.

[austere dove]

Alright, I’m thinking about just switching to PyQt... I only have a couple buttons in my UI right now, still have a lot to go. Would you recommend this?

It seems to better handle what I’m trying to do

[dusty scarab]

I dunno. I've been messing with tkinter for awhile now. I've gotten pretty far myself:
https://github.com/ayourk/HostsManager/blob/main/hostsman.py

It's a text editor I'm working on. Still have a ways to go. I think I'm 60% of the way done.

I don't know PyQT

[austere dove]

Looking good so far. Qt seems to better suite me I feel now that im really thinking about it. I want a nice looking UI and tkinter makes that hard to do.

[modern marsh]

yup

its easier to make better looking GUI's

[modern marsh]

thats pretty nice :D

[dusty scarab]

Just adding keyboard ESC/Enter to the dialogs now.

[hazy cosmos]

can someone help me with grid on tkinter

[hazy cosmos]

#help-pear

i need your help tkinter guys

[boreal shard]

hello, tkinter starter here. I coded a button but the button isnt showing as you see in this screenshot

will send the code in a minute

import tkinter as tk
#from tkinter import *
import os
# designing the gui
root = tk.Tk()
canvas = tk.Canvas(root, height=700, width=700, bg = "#302f2f")
canvas.pack()
frame = tk.Frame(root, bg="#7d7c7c")
frame.place(relwidth=0.8, relheight=0.8, relx=0.1, rely=0.1)
register = tk.Button(root, text="Register License", padx=10, pady=5, fg="white", bg="#302f2f")
register.pack()
root.mainloop()```

[modern marsh]

try to use place :D

[meager spoke]

Is it OK to use the MIT license for a project that uses Pyside/Qt for Python?

[wet plank]

With tkinter is it possible to add comma seperator for 1000s in the entry module? So 260000 would be displayed as 260,000 as the user inputs the numbers or changes the sliders

[amber roost]

That sort of stuff is a real pain to do with tkinter.
You would basically need this entry to work three ways; being able to change itself if it's modified, properly formatting itself when changed from the slider and probably also be able to convert a formatted input back into a number. You could use an amalgamation of a focusout validation command and a textvariable that listens to changes, and constantly calculate forth and back between string and int; but those are dangerous to mix: https://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.6/TkCmd/entry.htm#M12.
I would almost recommend subclassing tkinter.Entry into something like FormattedEntry which keeps track of the true value internally and only uses the entry as a front to display this value in a formatted fashion

[prisma citrus]

Which is the easiest module to use to make a basic User Interface?

Ping me of u know!

If*

[hazy cosmos]

just learn one

i like tkinter

[prisma citrus]

Oh well

Is it easy to use?

[digital rose]

Yeah

[prisma citrus]

Anything better and easier than tkinter?

[digital rose]

I think its a good place to start

[prisma citrus]

Well I just wanna make a prototype of an app for now, I just wanna make a basic example of how it will work and stuff

[digital rose]

I'm not to advanced in Tkinter, I'm still learning it.

But its good so far

[prisma citrus]

Oh well

From where to learn?

[digital rose]

What exactly would you be trying to make?

[amber roost]

You asked for easy and basic; tkinter checks both of these (also in its general look, unfortunately)
There is PySimpleGUI, which is able to build a tkinter UI from a really easy to write layout list, but it runs on a special event loop; should be understandable with its docs

[digital rose]

What of GTK? I've heard of it but never knew if it was good.

[prisma citrus]

It's like sort of an app which can help u make a discord bot, like having many options, like adding events, commands and stuff like that

[digital rose]

Neat. If you ever finish it let me know 😄

[prisma citrus]

Ah, well am finishing it always

BTW can we talk in DM'S?

About that GUI thing

[digital rose]

Me?

[prisma citrus]

Yes.

Lol

[digital rose]

I've actually got some school stuff to do

But we can chat later

[prisma citrus]

Oh

Sure

DM me when u get free?

[digital rose]

Sure

[wet plank]

@amber roost , think I'll drop doing it for now as its a class assignment and I think its best not to overcomplicate things haha

but thanks for your reply! 🙂

[ionic moat]

How do I change the border of a QComboBox when the cursor is hovered over it I tried this: css QComboBox::hover { border: 1px solid rgb(0, 145, 133); } but it didn't work

This is for PyQT5 Stylesheet

This is QSS, Qt's version of CSS

[weary wolf]

I don't know much about licensing. Does "PyQt5 is released under the GPL v3 license and under a commercial license that allows for the development of proprietary applications" mean I can create an application with PyQt5 for commercial use for free?

[digital rose]

Using Tkinter, I'm following along in this tutorial from youtube, and at one point when I ran this code -

import tkinter as tk

HEIGHT = 700
WIDTH = 800

root = tk.Tk()

canvas = tk.Canvas(root, height = HEIGHT, width = WIDTH)
canvas.pack()

frame = tk.Frame(root, bg = '#80c1ff', bd=5)
frame.place(relx = 0.5, rely = 0.1, relwidth=0.75, relheight=0.1, anchor='n')

entry = tk.Entry(frame, font=40)
entry.place(relwidth=0.65, relheight=1)

button = tk.Button(frame, text="Test button", font=40)
button.place(relx=0.7, rely=1, relwidth=0.3)

# label = tk.Label(frame, text = "This is a label", bg = "yellow")
# label.place(relx=0.3, rely=0, relwidth=0.45, relheight=0.25)

root.mainloop()

There was a button behind the light blue frame. For him, the button was infront like it should have been. Mine was hidden behind the frame. Does anyone know why?

[amber roost]

Are you sure the the code is the same as in the video?
I'm not really seeing anything wrong with this since widgets placed/packed/gridded later should appear in front of others unless you mess around with tkraise and lower

[digital rose]

Yeah I checked line for line, I didn't see anything wrong.

I'll keep looking though

[amber roost]

Although, shouldn't the canvas appear in front of everything?

I never used the place manager, no idea how these widgets are laid out; I'll run this myself real quick

well i'm getting this now

skimming over it, shouldn't it be rely=.1 or something to line up with the entry?

no what am i saying

The entry doesn't have any rely so it should just be possible to omit it entirely

Changed the button's place command to button.place(relx=0.7, relwidth=0.3, relheight=1), that makes it visible at least; could you send the youtube link though? I want to find that error

[ionic moat]

How do I make my PyQT5 GUI Frame look like this:

and how do I put the percentage sign there

[digital rose]

Oh sorry @amber roost Just saw your response - here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8-snVfekto&t=1845s

Omg

I just found the problem

I feel like an idiot

When you place the button, I put rely = 1, but it should be relheight = 1

Sorry about that

[amber roost]

this sort of stuff happens all the time, nice you got it figured out 👍

so im tryng to retreive the users entry

but this is what i get

[hazy cosmos]

its realy complicated for no reason

[tribal path]

.get()

[digital rose]

Also, where is the StringVar() function you set login_username and login_password to?

I might just be blind, or not getting something, but I don't see it

Yeah, I messed around with your code, @olive quartz, and I get messages saying StringVar() is undefined, so write the function for that, or, just change it to something else : D

[olive quartz]

login_username = StringVar()
login_password = StringVar()

i did this at the top

@digital rose

is that not enough?

[digital rose]

So the thing is, StringVar() is undefined

The code doesn't know what that means

[olive quartz]

oh

[tribal path]

Those should come from the star import.

[olive quartz]

yeah i thought it did

[digital rose]

You'd think.

I've been having trouble with the star import too

I would get errors for Labels not being a thing, when I imported with the star

[olive quartz]

so how can i import it then

[digital rose]

Try writing - from tkinter import StringVar() or something

[olive quartz]

just tried that

it doesnt work

[tribal path]

In your case it looks fine, just missing the get()'s when you try and print

[olive quartz]

when i did .get

it just prints blanks

@tribal path

[digital rose]

make sure you put parenthesis

Its a function

[hazy cosmos]

@olive quartz

i have a good video about this if u want

i learned it a day ago

[olive quartz]

ok thanks

yeah i put a parentheses

[tribal path]

Did you type in the entries?

[olive quartz]

@digital rose

yeah

[digital rose]

Yeah?

[hazy cosmos]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xt6SqWuMSA8

watch this vid

[olive quartz]

oh ok

thanks

[hazy cosmos]

make sure u understand what each part means dont just copy what he says

[ionic moat]

how do I make my window frame look like this

[digital rose]

@ionic moat what are you using?

[ionic moat]

PyQT5

[digital rose]

Why you using PYQT5 when we got pysimplegui

[ionic moat]

Because PyQT5 is better

[digital rose]

Nope

[ionic moat]

but I'm almost done my UI in PyQT5

I just need that part

[digital rose]

Oh ok

[dusty scarab]

Each UI has its strengths and faults.

[ionic moat]

?

[dusty scarab]

On tkinter Text() widgets, you can do .search() and search for a regex. How do you know when you've reached the end of the regex?

[ionic moat]

idk dollar sign

[dusty scarab]

From what I'm reading in the docs, it only returns the starting pos of the search, not the ending pos.

[ionic moat]

okay well I still need to change the frame

[unique forge]

@digital rose PyQt5 is better

@ionic moat you have to make it yourself, and remove the default onr afterwards

[ionic moat]

Oh

so how to remove the default one

[unique forge]

ill give you later

I dont have it right now

[ionic moat]

is it later now

[dusty scarab]

Found it!

[mint cloak]

Can i resize the terminal with npyscreen to a specific dimension?

like 300x50?

[mint cloak]

Anybody around?

Id just like to bounce some ideas around

having some, trouble implementing npyscreen

im a bit worried but, i think im getting there..

Hey uhm, is this the right place?

im really, not like, super stressed but.. i dont ususally get no response on irc, discord, i feel like.. maybe my choice of library was wrong and

thats stressful since, i only have so much time to get all of this done, i dont want to be changing libraries and ive already gotten pretty far with npyscreen

im sure i can make this work, i just dont know how yet

Oh, heres the code btw https://kitsunehosting.net/gitea/Kenwood/SNHU-IT-140/src/branch/npyscreen-adventure-game/Adventure Game/adventure_game/main.py

thats important, haha

[meager spoke]

How to implement navigation in PySide?

[digital rose]

it's .get() not .get

👍

[digital rose]

yes

root.geometry("300x50")

if you want min size for the window:

root.minsize(width=900, height=720)

the same as max size:

root.maxsize(width=900, height=720)

[mighty rock]

if you want to make a window not resizable you should use root.resizable(False, False)

[digital rose]

if you want to make it maximize do this:

root.state('zoomed')

[sudden falcon]

self.setWindowFlag(Qt.FramelessWindowHint)

This will remove title bar

Now you need to create whole title bar which contain close , minimize button , etc as per you requirements

[prisma citrus]

anyone here used PySimpleGui?

I needed some help

please ping/DM me if you have

[modern marsh]

the import has to be : from PyQt5.QtCore import Qt btw

[sudden falcon]

Yeah

[fallow nimbus]

does someone have a good source to read about all this pyside{1,2,6} vs. pyQT stuff, I feel kind of lost of what is going to be used in the future or what should be used...

[digital rose]

I think PyQt is better than any GUI module in python

as me Tkinter programmer

[fallow nimbus]

But what about all this pyside vs. pyqt stuff beside of ideologies I would love to read about the differences and potentially which one is going to stay

[digital rose]

is there any good library for creating "click-through" overlay stacked on a full-screen application which is only visible and all events are going into the application instead of overlay? i know in c++ i can achieve that by using directx but in python? dunno if its a good channel for that. I tried tkinter, but moving sprites in that isn't what satisfies me

[meager spoke]

[modern marsh]

it is also for kivy

kivy is a GUI module

[silent cape]

What is the best cli framework

[unique forge]

!code

[proven basin]

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

[unique forge]

@hazy cosmos Kivy is a GUI module also

[digital rose]

i wish it could be possible to do GUIs like in visual studio c#

winforms

but python

[modern marsh]

hmm? what about python?

use PySide2 etc

amazing GUI's

[digital rose]

with c# there's no GUI code

[ionic moat]

Can anyone help me?

[silent cape]

so o ones knows a solid cli

[ionic moat]

When I get the value of QSpinBox, I wanna wait for it change to something else, anything that's not the initial value, in this case, wait for the value of it to change to something that is not 0

[sudden falcon]

Just like c# pyqt and pyslide also have there designer tool to create design without writting any code

[sudden falcon]

You can set initial value and you can use that initial value if value of QSpinBox is not changed

[ionic moat]

wdym?

like py while True: if QSpinBox.value() != 0: break like this?

this is resource intensive

there shouldn't be a delay either

[meager niche]

how do u put code in here? just copy and paste ?

[modern marsh]

as in designing in an app? QtDesigner provides for that

!paste

[proven basin]

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pydis.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the floppy disk icon in the top right, or by typing ctrl + S. After doing that, the URL should change. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

class Delegate(QtWidgets.QStyledItemDelegate):
    def createEditor(self, parent, option, index):
        if index.column() ==  3: 

woho

perfect

i want help reading the value of output from the method on_combobox_changed and insert it in index.column()

[ionic moat]

wait wait I'm confused

oh

lol

[meager niche]

deleted a lot of irrelevant code to get the issue

Welp! Ping me if u think u could help. Cheers

[sudden falcon]

No, You don't need loop for this For which type of data you need QSpinBox?

[ionic moat]

int

an integer between 1 and 5

[sudden falcon]

Then set initial value

Now if you will fetch the value you will get that initial value

[ionic moat]

yes

what?

I still don't understad

[silver widget]

The approach I've taken is to connect a slot to the combobox.currentIndexChanged signal

# In the objects's __init__ method, typically.
self.comboBox.currentIndexChanged.connect(self.handler)

# Then you can check if it's non-zero

def handler(self):
  digit = int(self.comboBox.currentText())
  if digit > 0:
    # do the thing

This will avoid any unnecessary loops that check for changes every x milliseconds.
I'm not entirely sure what your on_combobox_changed function does though.

[ionic moat]

ohhhhhhhh

that looks like it makes sense

lemme try it

does this also work for spinBox?

[silver widget]

Ah, I just noticed that I was looking at my combobox, the qspinbox has the signal valueChanged

[ionic moat]

oh okay

[silver widget]

Signals and slots are easy to set up, they are definitely the way to go whenever you need to wait for an interaction, and wish to trigger action in another widget.

[silver widget]

You may want to look into signals and slots, I have an example above.

[ionic moat]

I have another question

Is there a way to make it so I can actually see the error raised if something goes wrong

it doesn't show any error

all it does it crash the GUI and end

no error

[silver widget]

Hm, the only cases I can think of is if you are catching the error in a try except block somewhere

If you're crashing Qt's GUI, that's an accomplishment. It won't divulge any errors though, since it runs natively in C++

You can insert print statements to see at what point the code crashes, to narrow down the search.

[ionic moat]

also another problem

Here's how it goes

So I have separate classes for separate GUIs

now I wanna access the spinbox in GUI2 in GUI1 and connect it to a function in GUI1, but I can't because the instance of GUI2 is not defined at the stage for some reason

I want to connect spinBox from GUI2 to function in GUI1

because button functions can't return anything for some reason

[silver widget]

I would set up a signal the spinbox emits, then connect the signal to a function in GUI1.

You can also send data with a signal.

First, you need to declare the signal within GUI1 like this: (as a member variable)
sigSomethingHappened = QtCore.Signal(object, object, ...)
You can optionally add as many data snippets the signal should carry.

You can then emit the signal when the time is right, like at the end of your spinbox's handler function
self.sigSomethingHappened.emit(data0, data1, ...)

[meager spoke]

How to implement navigation in PySide?

[ionic moat]

is there a way for me to this in a function py return_value = PyQt5.wait_for(signal) and then somewhere else I can do py signal.emit(value_of_spinbox) where the first line waits for the signal to emitted and the return_value is what it emitted

[silver widget]

You'll also need to connect that signal from GUI1 to a function in GUI2 like with the valueChanged signal.

[ionic moat]

but the return value doesn't have to matter if that's impossible

just wait

just make it wait

[silver widget]

You'll want to connect the signal to a local function, one with the following decorator:

 @Slot(int)
 def do_what_Ive_been_waiting_for(self, index):

The slot decorator with capture an integer from the signal and pass it on to your function's first argument, index

[ionic moat]

what about waiting

I need my program to wait

actually I just need to function to wait

wait until I recieve this signal

[meager spoke]

@silver widget can you answer my question?

[silver widget]

Could you elaborate, @meager spoke ?

[silver widget]

Yeah, by connecting it to the signal, the function will only fire once the signal was emitted.

[ionic moat]

wdym connecting it to the signal

[meager spoke]

I have two Widget which works as a page i want to redirect user to second widget if user clicks a button on first widget

[silver widget]

You'll need to do the GUI1.sigSomethingHappened.connect(do_what_Ive_been_waiting_for) in GUI2

[silver widget]

Are you using a stackedwidget?

[meager spoke]

No

[ionic moat]

ohhhh

Wait

I want do_whatIve been watiing for in gui1

becaue I need index in that class

is that okay?

because the spinbox comes from GUI2

GUI2 is useless except for the spinbox

[meager spoke]

but how do i render the second widget?

[silver widget]

Yeah, just make sure you pass the reference of GUI2 to GUI1 so you can connect its signal.

[silver widget]

How is your window laid out?

[ionic moat]

There's a button in GUI2 that should be pressed

so by doing this, it'll wait for that button to be pressed (it's going to wait for that button to be pressed in a function in GUI1) and when it is pressed, it'll resume that function in GUI1 by emitting a signal

correct?

Okay I think it'll be easier if I give a code example

I'm sorry if I'm being a bit hard right now

[meager spoke]

i am using grid layout

[silver widget]

Yes, if you link the function that will carry on with your work to the other GUI's signal, it will have to wait for it to be emitted.

[silver widget]

So both widgets are visible at the same time? Then you should have access to both in the same class, right? Some sample code could help me understand.

[meager spoke]

Let for example say I have a login Widget when user successfully logins the user should see the dashboard?So how to implement navigation between login Widget & Dashboard Widget?

[ionic moat]

class GUI1(MainwWindow):
  def __init__(self):
    self.button = pyqt5.button()
    self.button.clicked.connect(self.function)
  
  def clicked_button(self):
    # do things
    
    if variable == "this":
      return_value = pyqt5.wait_for_signal(gui2.signal) # nothing below this runs until the signal is emitted
      # after the signal gets emitted, do the rest of the code
    ...

class GUI2(OtherWindow):
  def __init__(self):
    self.spinBox = pyqt5.spinBox()
    self.signal = QtCore.Signal(int)
    self.spinBox.valueChanged.connect(self.emit_signal)
  
  def emit_signal():
    value = self.spinBox.value()

    if value > 0:
      self.signal.emit(value) # this activates the wait function above in GUI1 and emits the value

[silver widget]

You can retrieve the data from the login widget to a parent class, then delete the login widget, and create the dashboard widget in its place. Then pass the dashboard whatever info you need.

[ionic moat]

something like this

[meager spoke]

But then there will be white screen when login widget gets unload and dashboard Widget gets load?

[silver widget]

Ah, the thing with clicked_button, you'd put that in place of the self.function, so self.clicked_button. That will call the clicked_button function every time the button is pressed.
You cannot halt execution to wait for a signal, you will need a second function to handle the return value.
The GUI2 code looks good to me

[silver widget]

Well, if you want both to be visible next to each other, what is it really you want to do?

[meager spoke]

no

[meager spoke]

i want navigation some what like that in web sites?

[silver widget]

What you could do, is simply query the value of the spinbox on the fly.

[silver widget]

Yes, then in that case, deleting the widget will make the other widget fill its space. You're using layouts, after all. They should resize automatically to fill the white space.

[ionic moat]

this is getting real complicated rn

all these signals are making me confused

[meager spoke]

Ok.I will try it.Thanks

[ionic moat]

But I still have a question, sorry if I'm being repetitive or annoying but what about waiting?

Like a wait thing for signal?

I'm still confused about that

[silver widget]

If you only need to know the value of the spinbox, simply do a self.otherGui2.spinbox.value()

And keep a reference to the other GUI in GUI1

[meager spoke]

@silver widget can you tell some nice resources to learn PySide?

[ionic moat]

this is how it goes

they choose image polishing and press the button edit image

edit image opens that GUI and asks for a number

the other GUI is GUI2 here

[silver widget]

If you wish to open the login page later, you can also use the stackedwidget, then simply change the stackedwidget.setCurrentIndex() to the dashboard's index without deleting anything.

[ionic moat]

when they choose their number in GUI2, they press OK and that sends the in to GUI1 button "Edit Image"

[meager spoke]

ok. I will try it also.

[silver widget]

https://doc.qt.io/qtforpython/contents.html This is very helpful pyside6 documentation

Good luck!

[silver widget]

Ah, you should totally use a dialog!

[ionic moat]

I did

[meager spoke]

Thanks

[ionic moat]

GUI2 is a Dialog

It inhertis from QDialog or something like that

[silver widget]

With dialogs I've done this in the past:

reply = QMessageBox.question(self, "window title", "Are you sure", QMessageBox.Yes, QMessageBox.Cancel)
if reply == QMessageBox.Yes:

Something like that will be possible, lemme see how that would be done with a custom widget.

[ionic moat]

Alright

Here is a nice image to explain

[silver widget]

Alright, so it's pretty easy:
You'll need to open your dialog like this:

class GUI1(MainwWindow):
  def __init__(self):
    self.button = pyqt5.button()
    self.button.clicked.connect(self.clicked_button)
  
  def clicked_button(self):
    # do things
    
    if variable == "this":
      dialog = GUI2()
      if dialog.exec_() ==   #This will halt execution until GUI2 is closed, and be true if GUI2 was closed with self.accept() or similar
        # do the thing
        if dialog.value is None: #Welp, something went wrong here
    ...

class GUI2(OtherWindow):
  def __init__(self):
    self.spinBox = pyqt5.spinBox()
    self.signal = QtCore.Signal(int)
    self.spinBox.valueChanged.connect(self.emit_signal)
    self.value = None
  
  def emit_signal():
    self.value = self.spinBox.value()

    if value > 0:
      self.accept()      

[silver widget]

I'm pretty sure that's the answer you needed

[ionic moat]

Wow

Lemme try this

[silver widget]

You can also cancel your dialog by calling self.close() or self.reject() I think

[ionic moat]

yeah I did self.close_button.clicked.connect(self.close)

pretty cool

lemme try this

[silver widget]

Calling exec_() generally isn't all that recommended, since it halts all other windows, but it's what you want in this case. Otherwise just call open()

[ionic moat]

so what do I do for that though

Like I'm comparing it

if dialog.exec_() ==

there has to be a value on the right side right?

[silver widget]

It'll return some boolean, true for accept(), I think

[ionic moat]

so if the value of dialog is not None, it means the signal was accepted right?

[silver widget]

If it's none, that means the spinner wasn't updated and the window was closed forcefully.

yeah

[ionic moat]

what about QtCore.Signal? It says that doesn't exist

do I have to use pyqtSignal?

[silver widget]

Have you imported signal?

[ionic moat]

import signal?

[silver widget]

it's in QtCore, iirc

[ionic moat]

it's pyqtSignal though right?

QtCore.pyqtSignal

[silver widget]

it's just Signal

Though, I'm using Pyside6, the latest version.

[ionic moat]

but it says QtCore has no attribute 'Signal'

[silver widget]

It seems you're still on the old Qt5, with pyqt5.

[ionic moat]

oh

well I haven't updated it since I got it

maybe

[silver widget]

The transition seems to be pretty easy, just a couple differences in the import statements.

So that's probably one of the things changed since PyQt5

I haven't heard of pyqtsignal, but maybe that's the old name for it, you'll have to find out.

[ionic moat]

oh

So I have to update PyQt5

what about 'CustomResizeGui' object has no attribute 'exec_'

I get that

I initialized the class

idk why I get that

[silver widget]

Is it not inherited from a QDialog?

[ionic moat]

Well I mean

it's inherited from a class that inherits that

but I can QDialog as a second inherited class

[silver widget]

because exec_ is a QDialog method, so I'm not too sure what's going on

[ionic moat]

okay I added QDialog as a second inhertied class

I don't get that error anymore

but the GUI just crashes again

[silver widget]

Oh boy

All of it?

Because a window can also close when its reference goes out of scope.

[ionic moat]

The CustomResizeGui crashes

and that causes the Main Window to crash

It's not in GUI1 though

because I have an exception handler there

[silver widget]

what the heck, I guess GUI2 is not happy about something

[ionic moat]

I should update PyQT5 first

[silver widget]

You can try, not sure it'll fix the problem. There weren't many new features in Qt6, but they did focus on a lot of internal restructuring and bug fixes.

[ionic moat]

wait

there's a PyQt6???

wow

[silver widget]

Qt6 launched a few months ago, the Python bindings for the C++ libraries are now called PySide6

Side is Finnish for connection, so it's the python connector.

Their numbering is as messy as Nvidia's.

[ionic moat]

Yeah I don't know what's going on

I'll try to catch the exception in GUI2

[silver widget]

Good luck! I'll have to get back to work. Cya!

[ionic moat]

wait if I need your help later may I ping you?

you've been the biggest help ever and I really thank you for it

[silver widget]

Sure, go ahead.

[ionic moat]

I found out the problem

value wasn't defined

but yeah

thank you

[silver widget]

Ah, that would do it.

[ionic moat]

yeah but there's another error that I can't find

I wish it would tell me

but I just have to guess where it is

okay it was just an indentation error

llol

this is really confusing

I got the dialog.value is None thing

it's None

[maiden dragon]

anyone have experience with WXpython AUI or dockable windows

[hazy cosmos]

tkinter guys please look on #databases

[ionic moat]

@silver widget I have another question about PyQT5

it doesn't have anything to do with before

so I have this piece of code that runs, but it takes a few to run and it interrupts the main GUI

how can I run it and not interrupt it

interrupt it as in it makes the main GUI stop responding

and then after it's done running, the GUI comes back to life

[silver widget]

You will want to spin up a second thread, possibly a daemon.
https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/python-daemon-threads/
I haven't done much threading, but this will probably be what you'll need to get started.

[ionic moat]

okay but I also need to to wait for the code to finish running

it can't just spawn the thread and continue

[silver widget]

You'll probably be able to connect a signal from the daemon to your main gui

Then simply wait for the signal.

[ionic moat]

How do I wait for the signal in the function GUI 1

because the signal should be emitted from another class

actually it doesn't matter where the signal is being emitted

as long as it doesn't make the main GUI unresponsive

[silver widget]

Yup, all the interconnections are handled by qt, that’s the nice thing about it.

[ionic moat]

so I make a new class that spawns a thread and then after the code finishes, inside of that thread I emit the signal to continue the code in GUI 1

[silver widget]

You'll just have to have a function that starts the process, and then a function that gets called once the thread is done.

Yup

[ionic moat]

what's the code to wait for the signal again?

[silver widget]

You don't want to wait for something, per se, you want to simply react to when it happens.

Otherwise waiting might mean leaving the gui unresponsive

[ionic moat]

but if I react when it happens, the code will be finished

[silver widget]

Isn't that what you want?

[ionic moat]

should I write pseudo-code to make it more clearer

give me one second

[silver widget]

I suppose that would help

[ionic moat]

class OtherThreadClass:
  def __init__(self, arg1, arg2):
    self.arg1 = arg1
    self.arg2 = arg2

    self.signal = QtCore.Signal(bool) # dunno if it requires an argument so I just put bool

  def start(self):
    code_that_causes_the_gui_to_go_unresponsive() # takes time to run
    self.signal.emit(True) # This stops running things_to_run_while_the_signal_has_not_been_emitted_yet() because the signal has been emitted at the point

class GUI1(MainWindow):
  def __init__(self):
    self.button = pyqt5.button()
    self.button.clicked.connect(self.on_click)

  def on_click(self):
    thread = OtherThreadClass()
    while thread.signal.is_not_emitted: # I wanna do things while code_that_causes_the_gui_to_go_unresponsive() is running:
      things_to_run_while_the_signal_has_not_been_emitted_yet()

    #finish up code
    self.close()```

here

[silver widget]

Ah, you don't actually want to lock up the gui, that would make the user think it just froze, especially if the code takes more than a few seconds. What you'll want to do is set the setEnabled(bool) property on the relevant GUI elements, which will disable user input when false, graying everything out, without windows thinking it's unresponsive.

If you disable the top level widget, all nested subwidgets will also be disabled.

[ionic moat]

oh

[silver widget]

That's the proper way to do it. If you attempt to freeze the gui by entering an infinite loop, it will seem like the window crashed.

This way, you can still leave a progress bar and a cancel button enabled.

You'll be able to update the progress bar with signals, I guess

[ionic moat]

Oh yeah I'm trying to run a progress bar while it does the thing that crashes the gui

[silver widget]

And having a cancel button is always good practice.

Yup, lemme know how it goes!

[ionic moat]

yeah

the window still goes unresponsive

[silver widget]

Hm, sounds like the daemon thread isn't properly separated, or is that working?

[ionic moat]

lemme check

okay well

nothing errors

but I need to implement a loading bar in the main GUI that gets signals from the thread

so we're doing so far

@silver widget ideas?

[silver widget]

Hmm, treading new ground here for me, so I'll take my best guess.
You'll want the daemon to emit signals, right? That means we'll need to connect the signal from the daemon to a local function that then updates the bar. Since threads share the same memory, it shouldn't be a problem to access the daemon's object, or? It'll need to inherit a qobject, perhaps, if it doesn't work out of the box.

Hmm, this is getting tricky

[ionic moat]

Wait but I thought the signal can be emitted through classes, why local function?

[silver widget]

I mean that you catch the signal in a local slot

Of the parent's GUI object, like with the GUI1

Hm, I'll try getting it working on my end. Sounds fun.

[ionic moat]

I also need the return value of the threaded target function

[silver widget]

You can return values through slots, that may work. Or the traditional way of passing data back from threads.

[ionic moat]

This is so confusing

What about Qt's built in thread system

QtCore.QThread

[tidal kayak]

Can I ask some -really- stupid question about PyQt5 here? :/ I haven't properly start it.

[silver widget]

Ooh, I've never tried that, though I'm pretty sure it's a vestige to support the C++ variant

[silver widget]

If you've got really dumb questions, you probably haven't found a good resource to look things up yet, try this https://doc.qt.io/qtforpython/contents.html

[ionic moat]

agh PyQt5 is confusing

[tidal kayak]

Thank you I'm looking it now!

[silver widget]

Good luck!

Also, know that pyqt has been updated to PySide6, that's the newest version for Qt6

[tidal kayak]

ow! I see that PyQt is different from PySide 😮 I wasn't heard about PySide.

[tidal kayak]

That was what I'm writing! Thank you :)))

[silver widget]

It's basically the same, their naming is just screwed up lol

[tidal kayak]

ahah okey, thank you again. I'll try this documentation, my old one is out-dated then.

[silver widget]

Yup, have fun!

[ionic moat]

@silver widget look https://realpython.com/python-pyqt-qthread/

maybe we can use this to work this out

So I got the signal progress bar working from this

but now I need to 1. run the long function in the thread, and 2. get that return value, and 3. send it to GUI1's function

[silver widget]

Oh that's neat, I'll have to read up on this

The pyqt docs are kinda saturated with c++ at times, so it's nice to have this proper article.

Yeah, using a QThread sounds like the way to go here, as it's got the signal and slot support that you need here.

[ionic moat]

Yeah I got it working

🎉

thank you for your help

[silver widget]

Fantastic!

[silver widget]

Hey, I learned something new, too, so it's been an all-round success.

[ionic moat]

I need a bit more help

this one should be less confusing

fname = QFileDialog.getOpenFileName(self, "Select Download Directory", "", "*.png, *.bmp") why does this one show .bmp files in the file explorer but not .png

the only way to get .png files is by typing them

[ivory ember]

use the following format (make sure to edit to your file types, etc.)

filename, _ = qtw.QFileDialog.getOpenFileName(
  self,
  "Select Download Directory...",
  qtc.QDir.homePath(),
  'Text Files (*.txt) ;;Python Files (*.py) ;;All Files (*)',
  'Python Files (*.py)',
  qtw.QFileDialog.DontUseNativeDialog |
  qtw.QFileDialog.DontResolveSymlinks
)

where as

1.) the parent widget
2.) the caption, used in the window title
3.) the starting dir
4.) the available filters
5.) the default selected filter
6.) option flags

lmk if that solved your problem

[ionic moat]

nope

didn't solve

still doesn't show *.png files

only *.bmp

[ivory ember]

filename, _ = qtw.QFileDialog.getOpenFileName(
  self,
  "Select Download Directory...",
  qtc.QDir.homePath(),
  'PNG Files (*.png) ;;BMP Files (*.bmp) ;;All Files (*)',
  'PNG Files (*.png)',
  qtw.QFileDialog.DontUseNativeDialog |
  qtw.QFileDialog.DontResolveSymlinks
)

did u try like that

[ivory ember]

cause otherwise i dunno

[mint cloak]

Where does root come from?

[mint cloak]

thanks for this, i might want to do that, id just like to specify a specific size since im doing a lot of drawing and im using exact coridinates, i dont need the screen to change size

[chrome saddle]

hi everyone, how would i start creating the rest of my gui under each tab? ```python
#tab section
tab_control = ttk.Notebook(window)
ip_scanner_tab = ttk.Frame(tab_control)
ticket_create_tab = ttk.Frame(tab_control)

tab_control.add(ip_scanner_tab,text='IP scanner')
tab_control.add(ticket_create_tab,text='Ticket Creator - Spiceworks')

tab_label_ip_scanner = tk.Label(ip_scanner_tab,text = 'Welcome to my IP scanner')
tab_label_ticket_creator = tk.Label(ticket_create_tab,text = 'Welcome to my Ticket Creator for Spiceworks')

#packs
tab_control.pack(expand =1,fill='both')

FYI i'm using tkinter

[old badger]

@chrome saddle ttk.Label instead of tk.Label and you need to tell the labels their positioning, either with pack, or with grid.

tab_label_ip_scanner = ttk.Label(ip_scanner_tab,text = 'Welcome to my IP scanner').grid(row=1,column=1)

or

tab_label_ip_scanner = ttk.Label(ip_scanner_tab,text = 'Welcome to my IP scanner').pack()

(Side note: I highly recommend using Qt or wxwidgets instead of tkinter, tkinter is pretty strange at times)

[mint cloak]

@digital rose Sorry to @ you directly, id really love some clarification though..

[modern marsh]

root is a Tk() object i guess

[mint cloak]

A what object?

[modern marsh]

tk.Tk()

tkinter

the main window

[mint cloak]

I dont know what that is

sorry

[modern marsh]

oh ok, shihab was talking about tkinter as far as i know

[mint cloak]

:c

[modern marsh]

best to ask him

[mint cloak]

shoot

[modern marsh]

im not sure

let him reply

[mint cloak]

Yeah, sorry

its really uncool to @ like that but

its been hours

ive also been lurking in #python on irc

feel kinda lonely

[chrome saddle]

Lol sorry guys.

Yes I wanted to use tkinter. I imported to from tkinter

@ me is cool. It helps distinguish between who’s actually talking to me

Hello, I am fairly new to PyQt5 and have been working on my first project with the library for the past few days. I've been struggling with some strange behaviour from my QtWidgets.QSplashScreen SplashScreen. It succesfully displays itself and shortly closes after 3 seconds as specified here QtCore.QTimer.singleShot(3000, self.closeSplash). But as soon as the main app opens, If I try to display anything else, the SplashScreen reapears. And for some reason it only occurs on macOS. It got me wondering, "I'm I properly closing the SplashScreen?". I would highly appreciate any hints on what could possibly be wrong with my code, here's the SplashScreen class for reference, and please do let me know if you need anything else.

###--------------------------- SplashScreen ------------------------------###

class splash(QtWidgets.QSplashScreen):
    
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super(QtWidgets.QSplashScreen, self).__init__(parent)
        self.splash = QtWidgets.QSplashScreen(QtGui.QPixmap(SplashScreenIMG))
        self.splash.setWindowFlags(QtCore.Qt.FramelessWindowHint | QtCore.Qt.WindowStaysOnTopHint)
        self.splash.show()
        QtCore.QTimer.singleShot(3000, self.closeSplash)

    def closeSplash(self):
        self.close()
        self.main = MainWin()
        self.main.show()

# SplashScreen
if __name__ == '__main__':    
    app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
    main = splash()
    main.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

MainWin() is my main app

[lyric minnow]

hiii

is there anyone to help about Tkinter pack() method

?

😭

[hazy cosmos]

hey what u need

as example if you have window of

hello world
whasapp?

and you pack label with text im great it will just do

hello world
whasapp?
im great

not realy useful tho since you cant realy control thing
way to space is do like

hello world!
*imagine we having label here but with no text*
whasapp?
*same here no text*
im great

so in reality its going to look like

hello world!

whasapp?

im great```

@lyric minnow

that realy the best way explain it in my opinion

[lyric minnow]

i donnt konw how to use pack()

@hazy cosmos

tkinter pack

[hazy cosmos]

oh

so like

hello_world = Label(root,text='Hello world')
hello_world.pack()

another way to do it is using the .pack() right after

hello_world = Label(root,text='Hello world').pack()

its .pack()

[lyric minnow]

i know it but i dont know args of it exmpale pack(expand = 1, fill = BOTH, ipadx = 209

@hazy cosmos

[hazy cosmos]

now you know😉

[lyric minnow]

not perfect

where is the ipadx?

but thx a lot

and where are you from

[winter umbra]

padx is in the label or button or else, not in pack

[lyric minnow]

ipadx?

[winter umbra]

what is for ipadx ?

[hazy cosmos]

pack() also has padding options:
padx, which pads externally along the x axis.
pady, which pads externally along the y axis.
ipadx, which pads internally along the x axis.
ipady, which pads internally along the y axis.

[winter umbra]

oh it's for .grid()

@lyric minnow ipadx is for .grid()

[hazy cosmos]

no its also for pack

but realy learn place most useful

pack not useful at all

and im telling u this as a person who learnd the trio like 2 days ago

and now im not using pack

[winter umbra]

k

so, you think .grid() is better or there is something else ?

[lyric minnow]

oh no

i decided to use place

😄

its so easier

[hazy cosmos]

place is amazing in my opinion

grid can be useful

but as example for this gui

that i made place is a life changer

[lyric minnow]

i looked for remove widets, there is person say to pack_forget, grid_forget bu he didnt say place_forget 😄

[lyric minnow]

waowsss its so nice

this is the mine

[hazy cosmos]

i looked for remove widets, there is person say to pack_forget, grid_forget bu he didnt say place_forget 😄
@lyric minnow I use forget indeed

waowsss its so nice
@lyric minnow tnx

this is the mine
@lyric minnow nice what's the use for it

[lyric minnow]

for local
project competition

its part of noble project

[hazy cosmos]

Nice good luck

[lyric minnow]

thank you

[hazy cosmos]

What language is it

[lyric minnow]

Turkish

[hazy cosmos]

Nice

[lyric minnow]

where are you from

[hazy cosmos]

Rather not to say

[lyric minnow]

o- ok

[hazy cosmos]

Maybe try and make the button more of ellipse

Like the square on middle screen doesn't look realy good

Ellipse should look great

[lyric minnow]

i like
rectangles

and i dont know how to make them eliipse 😄

[hazy cosmos]

Haha

So use rectangles

TCL/tkinter RegExp issues:
I would like 1 regexp that can do all of the following:

1. ("[ \t][ \t]+") Delete consecutive spaces/tabs
2. ("^[ \t]+") Leading spaces/tabs
3. ("[ \t]+$") Trailing spaces/tabs
4. ("#.*$") Delete the contents of lines that start with the '#' symbol
5. ("^$") Delete blank lines

Here are the current search strings I'm using:

Here is my current code:

    cur_index = "1.0"
    cur_end = tk.END
    match_length = IntVar()
    search_string = r"REGEXP" # Regexp search string (one of the above)
    while Decimal(cur_index) <= Decimal(cur_end):
        try:
            cur_index = editor_text.search(search_text, cur_index,
                count=match_length, regexp=True,
                nocase=1, stopindex=cur_end)
        except Exception as exp0:
            cur_index = ""
            print(f"search_text: {search_text};{exp0}")
            break
        if not cur_index or match_length.get() == 0: break
        next_index = "%s+%sc" % (cur_index, match_length.get())
        editor_text.delete(cur_index, next_index)```

[solemn rock]

hello!

[modern marsh]

Hi

[solemn rock]

Can some one help me to postion a frame
I want to have to frames, one next to the other

But, one of them gets lost

The right one is supposed to have a button under it

[dusty scarab]

You can use a Label() as a layout tool and then nest the other elements in 2 labels side by side

[solemn rock]

Thanks! I will look for it as I hadn´t heard of it 😄

I am sorry i got confused

[dusty scarab]

This is how I can use .pack with labels, then .grid on the elements contained in the label

[solemn rock]

I've already heard of it

Okeey, I will try it out!
Thx a lot

Hey, I had a mistake, where I can't use grid on a topLevel where I have already used .pack()
I will share this portion of the code, I will really appreciate any help 😄

[dusty scarab]

Sounds like another nested Label situation

[solemn rock]

  splitSomeE = Frame(splitWindow, bg = "#CACECF", width = "150")
  splitSomeE.pack(anchor = 'w')
  
  Label(splitSomeE, text = "Separar un grupo de paginas\nen especifico", bg = "#CACECF").pack()
  Label(splitSomeE, text = "De:", bg = "#CACECF").pack()
  Entry(splitSomeE, font = ("Helvetica", 10), width = 15, textvariable = num1).pack()
  Label(splitSomeE, text = "Hasta:", bg = "#CACECF").pack()
  Entry(splitSomeE, font = ("Helvetica", 10), width = 15, textvariable = num2).pack()
  Label(splitSomeE, text = "", bg = "#CACECF").pack()
  splitSomeBtn = Button(splitSomeE, text = "Separar", relief = RAISED, bg = "#000000",
                fg = "#FAFAFA", font = ("Helvetica", 15), activebackground = "#11B0D8", command = lambda: splitSome_click())
  splitSomeBtn.pack()    
  
  # Splitall 
  splitAll = Frame(splitWindow, bg = "#CACECF", width = "250")
  splitAll.pack(anchor = 'e')
  Label(splitAll, text = "Separar todos los elementos del archivo\nen paginas separadas", bg = "#CACECF").pack()
  Label(splitAll, text = "", bg = "#CACECF").pack()
  splitAllBtn = Button(splitAll, text = "Separar", relief = RAISED, bg = "#000000",
                fg = "#FAFAFA", font = ("Helvetica", 15), activebackground = "#11B0D8", command = lambda: splitAll_click())```

It is still the same situation tho 😦
Thanks for the help, it is my first time using Tkinter

[dusty scarab]

Order of adding widgets does matter.

[molten forum]

Is anyone here good with Tkinter? I have a problem.

[dusty scarab]

Read back a bit.

[molten forum]

I haven't found anything to do with what I'm experiencing...

[dusty scarab]

Did any of those videos on that channel help any?

[molten forum]

not really

[dusty scarab]

What's the problem?

[molten forum]

When I open a new window in Tkinter, I want a variable to appear. That I can do, but whenever I go to try and update the label, it comes up with an error. I'm trying to update it with an entry. I'm going to try something that I haven't thought of yet and see if that works.

[dusty scarab]

.config() is typically what you want to do after something has been added to the layout.

Also, an "Entry()" can be decorated to simulate a Label()

One of the videos in that channel does illustrate that.

[molten forum]

That problem is that it saying a variable doesn't exist when it does...

[dusty scarab]

tkinter uses Intvar(), StringVar() and DoubleVar IIRC when using vars with widgets.

And they have to be declared before they are used.

If using them in a function, you may have to use global to indicate that it outside of the function scope.

[molten forum]

I've tried everything I know. I'm going to sleep on it. I need a break. I appreciate the advice though

[warm spire]

anyone here knows kivy ?

[digital rose]

hi, I have a problem, using Text widget I want to configure the blue hughlighting lines when Ctrl + A (I send 2 screenhots before and after Ctrl + A)

I want to keep those blue lines, but let them select ONLY the text

instead of the whole lines

[digital rose]

from:

from tkinter import *
root = Tk()

[digital rose]

You can change the color of the select hughlighting and the text and the border and the background but you can't make select area at the text only in tkinter. sorry

also you can change the font

F :(

yes

:(

[mint cloak]

@digital rose Why do i need that extra library?

[sharp falcon]

I’m using tinker. When I click on a button, how do I change a value when a button is clicked? Does it have to be global if I want to use it outside the function?

Th buttons command is to go to a function. I want to set a new value for a variable inside this function

[tribal path]

Could use Vars

[mint cloak]

@digital rose i am really confused

[ionic moat]

Does anyone know why PyQt5 doesn't raise errors? I know it runs in C++ but isn't that the same thing that OpenCV-Python does it? Like it raises non-python errors, so why not for PyQt5, it's like the same thing??

This makes it really really really hard to debug in PyQt5, so does anyone have any tips on debugging in it?

[eager beacon]

PyQt5 has error messages too. Not sure what you're talking about?

[ionic moat]

I don't get them?

The only sign of an error is the GUI crashing

nothing else

[eager beacon]

There are some runtime things that you probably aren't going to see an error for, but trust me.. it has plenty.

what are you doing that triggers a crash?

[ionic moat]

Just basic Python errors or Qt Errors

like hanging the event loop or mistyping a variable name

anything

the only way for me to get the error for Python errors is by putting a try/except statement in every function

but that only shows Python errors

not problems in Qt

[eager beacon]

you can install a message handler if you want to but the messages you see probably aren't going to be very easy to make sense of.

[ionic moat]

Okay and something else

how do I do this? I already got an answer for it but I didn't understand it well but they said to use a Queue

[eager beacon]

What am I looking at?

[ionic moat]

Alright, let me explain, so:

first, the main GUI (the bigger one in the middle)

it has a button called "Edit Image"

now if the lower combo box is set to Image Polishing, it should prompt the GUI on the right

the GUI on the right has a spinbox that asks for a number between 0 and 5

after they choose their number and press OK, it should return that value of the spin box back to function that the "Edit Image" button is connect to

if they press cancel on the right GUI, the value of the spinbox will just be 0 by default

if it's 0, then set it to 1

So ```

1. Press "Edit Image" this button is connected to function1
2. function1 waits for value from function 2 (function2 is connected to "OK" button in second GUI)
3. After "OK" button is pressed, function2 sends value of QSpinBox from GUI 2 to GUI1, function1, the first button
4. That function handles the rest```

[eager beacon]

Okay, so what is the problem you're trying to solve?

[ionic moat]

waiting on the OK button in GUI2 to be pressed in function1 (GUI1)

and sending the value

[kindred estuary]

In your code, is the dialog on the right created by subclassing QDialog? If so, use pyqtSignal() to emit a signal when the button is pushed.

It is a bit difficult to discern what is causing your issue without having an idea what your code looks like. What you are trying to accomplish should bea simple task.

[digital rose]

how can I place 2 (or more) widgets next to each other using pack()?

[dusty scarab]

Use .grid() in a Label() that you then .pack into the rest of your layout.

[modern marsh]

.pack(side=tk.LEFT) and .pack(side=tk.RIGHT)

i guess

[modern marsh]

pack() and grid() dont work together

if that is what you are saying

[hazy cosmos]

@digital rose place is realy the key in my opinion

like first widget is 20 width so do .place=(x=20,y=100) and then for the second one .place(x=50,y=100)

and it will be next to eachother

[austere dove]

Anyone know how to style the scrollbar of a QTableView in QT Designer via stylesheets? Styling "QScrollBar" doesn't seem to work for me.

[dusty scarab]

Check my project at https://github.com/ayourk/HostsManager/blob/main/hostsman.py
I'm using .pack() for my main layout, but I'm using .grid() for the statusBar. I'm using a Label() to contain the .grid() elements to be .pack()ed in the main layout.

[modern marsh]

interesting, are they in the same window or different ones?

[dusty scarab]

They are in the same window.

Compare line 952 to line 956 on that web page.

[ivory ember]

cant you just hide it

or style the window so its frameless

[unique forge]

doesnt work

[unique forge]

the window is frameless

thats why I want to remove it

[ivory ember]

hmm

[unique forge]

its a frameless window with a sizegrip floating

[ivory ember]

can i c a screenshot

[unique forge]

one sec

@ivory ember

[ivory ember]

tf

and u said the window hints include frameless

maybe its something with your stylesheet

did u set a widget for the QSizeGrip

if you did, remove it

[unique forge]

nope

[ivory ember]

is the ui made with designer or through code

[unique forge]

designer

[ivory ember]

its possible the designer automatically adds it

[unique forge]

nope

nothing

        self.setWindowFlag(QtCore.Qt.FramelessWindowHint)
        self.setWindowFlag(QtCore.Qt.MSWindowsFixedSizeDialogHint)
        self.setAttribute(QtCore.Qt.WA_TranslucentBackground)
``` this is the code to make it frameless

[ivory ember]

maybe try turning off translucentbackground?

[unique forge]

ok

nope

this is the window without a translucent background

[dusty scarab]

Looks like some sort of gradient is enabled.

[unique forge]

im just trying to remove the QSizeGrip

[ivory ember]

i still think its something to do with making it in designer

when i open it and create a mainwindow layout

the QSizeGrip is there

[unique forge]

any idea what to do

[dusty scarab]

You have to make the window NOT resizeable

[unique forge]

setFixedSize?

setFixedSize?

hello?

@ivory ember does setFixedSize make it not resizable?

[ivory ember]

o

mb

ummm

i think

i mean just try it

i always make my apps in code

never see the qsizegrip

something with designer

[dusty scarab]

In tkinter, the option is WindowObject.resizable(False, False)

One param is for the X/horizontal direction and the other is for the Y/vertical direction

[silver widget]

The designer puts a menubar at the top, and a message bar at the bottom for the mainwindow template. I believe those lines (and the entire bottom margin) are because of that.

[silver widget]

Look into the message bar, those lines must be part of it.

[unique forge]

lines?

im talking about the QSizeGrip

at the bottom right corner

[silver widget]

Yeah, those lines are the indicator for it.

[turbid lava]

Does anyone have experience using Dash to create data tables and geolocations.

[peak cove]

i have a bit of an issue with Curses so far.

so i have this window here, and it is about to be filled.

once i attempt to draw more than 63 characters inside of it, addstr will error.

is there a way to have things stored in the window, but only render a bit of?

actually you know what, i could store the text in a list, and only render segments of it in the window.

[digital rose]

Does anybody know what this means?

@dusty scarab

[dusty scarab]

Peel back that onion a bit by separating out that line into different variables:

boxget = self.box2.get()
boxinput = input(boxget)
boxint = int(boxinput)
timeing = boxint```
And then see where the error falls.

[digital rose]

But I also have this self.box2 = Entry(root, width=50, bg="white", fg="black")

@dusty scarab

[dusty scarab]

With errors like that, get rid of the nesting first and troubleshoot from there.

[digital rose]

What is nesting? Putting everything into one line?

[dusty scarab]

Example of nesting from your code:
timeing = int(input(self.box2.get()))

[digital rose]

Oh okay. Thanks again for the help!

I will try this out.

hi!

i was wondering if anyone knew how to implement something where after you print a selection e.g:

        jokes()
elif selection == '2':

elif selection == '3':

        upbcredits()
time.sleep(1000)

and u enter 1,2,3. it will print the desired text, but will add an option to go back to mainMenu()

e.g: it will print Press Enter To Return To The Main Menu and it will do that. i dont know how to implement it though

ok so i have a large confusion. this is my first time using pyqt5 and i want to change a value upon the press of a button.

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QPushButton

progv = 0
#there are the other things needed for making the window here
def changeval(current, moreless):
    if moreless == "up":
        current = current + 1
        return current + 1
    elif moreless == "down":
        current = current + 1
        return current - 1
    else:
        print("ERROR")

#then i have my buttons... this is where i start getting confused.
upbutton.clicked.connect(changeval(progv,"up"))
downbutton.clicked.connect(changeval(progv, "down"))
#this returns "TypeError: argument 1 has unexpected type 'int'"
#so to my understanding, it can only use a callable function, so how would I make it change the value of [progv]???

anyone have any idea?

the current = current [operator] 1 section is also confusing

[ivory ember]

hold on, ill write an app for u

awesome

also i have the buttons implemented, just left that out of the code i sent

add it

might as well

How to change focus to next widget when user press enter instead tab in PySide 6?

[red sapphire]

Hey guys, I'm about to finish my uni Python course and I'm looking for a fun way to test my skills with a project. Decided to make a text-based RPG game. I've got all the necessary skills down but one thing I'm concerned about is having everything in a console window (rudimentary, ugly, problems across operating systems).

If I want to make a simple GUI for displaying text in a somewhat richer way than a console window, do you guys have any recommendations for where to start?

I suppose this might be an extremely basic question for this channel!

@red sapphire I would recommend using Tkinter

[unique forge]

PyQt5

with Qt Designer

[red sapphire]

I'll look into both, thanks!

[red sapphire]

Ahhh boy, this is taking me back to the Flash days

Looks like I'll be diving into event listeners and whatnot again

[red sapphire]

the Qt licensing makes me a little bit uneasy

[unique forge]

@red sapphire look at PySide2

PySide is basically PyQt but with better licensing

[red sapphire]

😮

Looks fantastic!

Seems the consensus is that the only downside of PySide is that it is not as actively developed as PyQt, but for something super simple like what I'm doing, it shouldn't matter at all

I figure there's always a chance that I'll develop something cool and want to distribute it, without wanting to spill the code guts, so the LGPL license makes up for anything

Are you good with Tkinter?

[dusty scarab]

What I learned about tkinter I learned from https://www.youtube.com/c/Codemycom/videos

[digital rose]

Well there is this problem, I am trying to launch my discord bot from a tkinter button but everytime I press the button my GUI crashes

The bot does go on

Go through his videos about buttons and commands. See what happens.

[digital rose]

I think it has something to do with threading tho I dont understand that one

[dusty scarab]

He covers that too.
