TickerDialog not showing
1 Attachment(s)
Servus,
I was in need of a number input option, ideally to be placed into menu. A progress bar was not precise enough for the range +/-50 and at least .5 precision. After trying a Textbox and fighting with input filtering I stumbled across the TickerDialog. Alas not possible to include it in the menu bar as it seems.
Then I thought that it would not add too much clicking when I add it to a temporary panel. I tried the example with three dialogs on three different tabs of a TabPanel which works as it should. Though I want to be able to change e.g. all coordinates at the same time, so I tried a GridPanel. The size exceeds when adding TickerDialogs, but they ain't showing. Same with the normal panel. They won't show even if there is just one TickerDialog in use. :confused:
Thanks, Walter |
Vizconfig panels support text boxes that filter for float or int values. Would this work for you?

Hi Jeff,
thank you for pointing me to vizconfig. :) It seems that I can put that to good use, though I'll have to rework my menu system... :o My opinion is to prohibit unwanted user input rather than telling the user afterwards that I didn't like his input - meaning, I'd prefer that you can't enter letters or non-number special characters into a number (int, float) textbox at all. :D what about that TickerDialog and Panels, though...? Best Regards, Walter |
vizconfig documentation
P.S.
On the vizconfig basics help page (with the local beta-3 as well as the online version Vizard5 Online Help) some methods are omitted:
And another question, why are the additional examples and the screenshot now missing which were available in Vizard4 Online Help? Especially the screenshot gives a good idea what to expect, without having to run an example script. Best Regards, Walter |
one runtime and one editing feedback
P.P.S:
:o there seems to be an error in an error message; when you supply only one positional argument to addBoolLabelItem, the error reads: TypeError: addBoolLabelItem() takes at least 1 argument (2 given) which should most likely be the other way round (at least 2 arguments and just 1 given) :confused: and I suggest to add documentation strings to the BasicConfigurable.add* resources, to ease scripting (I use that tooltip feature in the IDE quite a lot). Pleeeeease... |
By default the visibility of the dialog components are turned off unless added to a TabPanel. When using a task function, you can use the show method to display the dialog and wait for a button event. The TickerDialog section has a short example. The following turns the visibility of the components on in a standard panel:
Code:
import viz |
Solution confirmed
Hi Jeff,
thank you for the solution. Of course I have to add that to me this seems to be inconsistent behaviour and confusing to the programmer. But now the solution is documented in this forum ;) Again, thanks to you! Best Regards, Walter |
