User Input

[Hodge1620]

Is there a way to generate a user-input box that is more complex than the 'ask', 'choose', 'input', and 'message' options. For example, I'd like to do something similar to the viz.go(viz.PROMPT) message box, but obviously with different GUI elements & labels. Are there functions available in 'vizinput.dll' that would allow me to do this?

If anyone has ideas, please let me know.

Thanks,
-Eric

Hi,

The vizinput library doesn't contain any functions for making custom dialogs. There are plenty of 3rd party python modules that can do this though.

Tkinter comes with python, you might want to give that a try. Open the Python Help file under the Vizard Help menu. Search the help file for tkinter, it should provide some overview. You may need to install a couple additional files in order to get it working. Let me know if you need these files.

I've played with TKinter a little bit in the past, but it was my understanding that the python interpreter built into Vizard had issues with TKinter. Just thought I'd take a stab at doing things through Vizard's functionality before I delved back into the TKinter world.

If it's as simple as adding / changing a few files, go ahead and send them to me.
