Hello all,
I found a bug in some of pybwidget's dialog classes.
The affected classes are MessageDialog, PasswordDialog, SelectFont and
SelectColor;
it seems like there is no way to get the result the dialog box returns.
The problem is the call to Tkinter.Widget.__init__() , which itself calls
Tkinter.BaseWidget.__init__(), where the result of self.tk.call() gets lost.
I tried to avoid this by creating a separate constructor class for these dialogs
where self.tk.call() is called by a separate show() method, which allows to
catch the
return value (see the code below).
It's probably not perfect, but as far as I have tried, it seems to work.
However, the resulting syntax looked a little weird to me, so I added shortcut
functions
that turn e.g
dialog = SelectFont(master)
newfont = dialog.show()
resp.:
newfont = SelectFont(master).show()
into
newfont = selectfont(master)
.
BTW, the SelectColorMenu() function doesn't seem to work either, however if
I haven't missed something, it is the same as SelectColor(master, type='popup'),
so I'm not sure if it is necessary at all.
Regards
Michael
