Thanks to your previous answers I have now got a 'working' application
that displays photos (and their properties) and a map with the locations
marked.
The map is displayed on a non-sized form and the location of a photo is
marked with a button at the appropriate point using the following code :
p_Top,p_Left -(coordinates of button)
p_Image= (filename of image (eg 'dscf1234.jpg'))
b_Caption= (numeric value of image (eg '1234')
self.btn=dabo.ui.dButton(self, Caption=b_Caption,
ToolTipText=p_Image, Height=20, Width=40, Top=p_Top, Left=p_Left,
Transparency=64, ForeColor=(0,0,0), BackColor=(192,256,192),
BorderColor=(128,0,0), BorderStyle=None, FontSize=7)
self.btn.refresh()
this produces the result I want
(see http://www.highersystems.co.uk/misc_stuff.html) displaying up to
50-100 buttons.
(nb. if the button is placed over another image - the tool tip does not
display - is this normal behaviour)
I now would like to do two things :
a. click on any one of these buttons to take further action (eg display
photo, file name etc.).
I tried (unsuccessfully) to bind an event to the button :
#def clickMap(self):
# dabo.ui.info(self.Caption)
#.
#.
#self.btn.bindEvent(dabo.dEvents.Hit,clickMap)
.. but I'm not sure how to do it. If I click on a button it takes focus
(eg. 4804)- changes colour etc. But how to I associate code with this
button ?
b. How can I reset the image and destroy all the added buttons (apart
from destroying & rebuilding the form)
Using the dabo shell I can find the buttons :
for a in self.Children : print a
..
.
<dButton50 (baseclass dabo.ui.dButton, id:-1672)>
<dButton51 (baseclass dabo.ui.dButton, id:-1701)>
<dButton52 (baseclass dabo.ui.dButton, id:-1714)>
. etc
How can I access the properties of each button ?
(I suspect these involve areas of Python programming I haven't grasped
yet !)
