Hi everyone, I've got an app that has a dPageFrame separating the various functions. One of the pages is dedicated as a Help tab. I discovered the dHtmlBox widget and thought this might be a good way to display a help page inside the app. The problem is I've been trying to link the dHtmlBox widget to a locally stored .htm file with no success. Here's what I've tried:
- Putting the file name inthe Source property. Then I figured out that this was for displaying HTML source code. - Putting the file name in the Page property. According to what I understand from the documentation, this should have worked, but the widget kept trying to find http://help.htm - Setting the dHtmlBox's Page property to os.path.join(os.getcwd(), 'help.htm') when the form initializes. The problem I ran into doing it this way was setting the RegID of the dHtmlBox. I don't know why, but in ClassDesigner, I could only type numbers and the letter 'e' in the RegID field of the Object Info window. I tried setting it manually in the .cdxml file, but when I ran the code, I got the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "PreferenceManager.py", line 22, in <module> main() File "PreferenceManager.py", line 15, in main app.start() File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\dabo\dApp.py", line 372, in start self.setup() File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\dabo\dApp.py", line 328, in setup self.initUIApp() File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\dabo\dApp.py", line 364, in initUIApp self.uiApp.setup() File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\dabo\ui\uiwx\uiApp.py", line 412, in setup frm = self.dApp.MainForm = dabo.ui.createForm(mfc) File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\dabo\ui\uiwx\__init__.py", line 1145, in createForm frm = cls(*args, **kwargs) File "c:\users\ecegra~1\appdata\local\temp\tmpeow3q3.py", line 9, in __init__ super(dForm_31058, self).__init__(parent=parent, attProperties=attProperties, *args, **kwargs) File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\dabo\ui\uiwx\dForm.py", line 931, in __init__ BaseForm.__init__(self, preClass, parent, properties, attProperties, *args,**kwargs) File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\dabo\ui\uiwx\dForm.py", line 44, in __init__ fm.dFormMixin.__init__(self, preClass, parent, properties, attProperties, *args, **kwargs) File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\dabo\ui\uiwx\dFormMixin.py", line 89, in __init__ attProperties, *args, **kwargs) File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\dabo\ui\uiwx\dPemMixin.py", line 86, in __init__ self._initProperties() File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\dabo\dObject.py", line 177, in _initProperties self.initProperties() File "c:\users\ecegra~1\appdata\local\temp\tmpeow3q3.py", line 585, in initProperties self.Form.HelpPage.Page = tmp AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'HelpPage' Obviously, the string I set as the RegID was 'HelpPage'. I am trying to change the property with the following code: def initProperties(self): self.ShowStatusBar = False tmp = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), 'help.htm') print "Opening "+str(tmp) self.Form.HelpPage.Page = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), 'help.htm') The initProperties() method belongs to the dForm object. I'm not sure if that's where I should have put it, but I was trying a few different places and none of them seemed to make any more sense or work any better than this. I'm sorry this is such a complicated problem, but any help you can offer would be very appreciated. Oh, and by the way, I'm running Python 2.5 in Win Vista Pro under revision 5270.
