Hi PaterMaximus,
Code a bit long, but it should do what you want:
-------------------------------------------
from Tkinter import *
import os
class ModalDialog(Toplevel):
def __init__(self, parent, x, y, title):
Toplevel.__init__(self, parent)
self.transient(parent)
self.title(title)
self.protocol( 'WM_DELETE_WINDOW', self.cancel)
self.value=None
self.x = x
self.y = y
# NEED TO HIDE UNTIL SHOWN
# NEED TO POSITION REGARD TO X, Y
def show( self ):
self.position()
oldFoc = self.focus_get()
self.focus_set()
self.grab_set()
self.lift()
self.deiconify()
self.update()
self.mainloop()
self.grab_release()
if oldFoc:
oldFoc.focus_set()
return self.value
def returnValue(self):
self.quit()
def cancel(self):
self.value=None
self.quit()
def position(self):
# We want the window displayed hidden in case it is moved
self.withdraw()
self.update()
# Position the window at x,y
# Ensure the window will not go off screen
# windims are like '30x40+50+50'
# 30x40 is the size, the rest is startpos
maxX, maxY = self.maxsize()
maxY -= 40
windims = self.geometry().split('+')[0].split('x')
width=int(windims[0])
height=int(windims[1])
if self.x == None or self.y == None:
self.x=(maxX-width)/2
self.y=(maxY-height)/2
if (self.x+width) > maxX: self.x = maxX - width
if (self.y+height) > maxY: self.y = maxY - height
# Now position the window and show it.
self.geometry("+"+str(self.x)+"+"+str(self.y))
self.update()
def editString(par, prompt, startVal="", x=None, y=None):
gframe = EditStringDialog(par, prompt, startVal, x, y)
val = gframe.show()
gframe.destroy()
return val
class EditStringDialog(ModalDialog):
def __init__(self, parent, prompt, startValue, x, y):
ModalDialog.__init__(self, parent, x, y, prompt)
self.config(bg="white")
self.value=startValue
self.ew=Text(self, bg="white", width=60, borderwidth=0, height=6)
if startValue:
self.ew.insert("1.0", startValue)
self.ew.pack(side="top", fill="both", padx=5, expand=True)
bframe=Frame(self, bd=10)
bframe.pack(side="top", fill="x")
okBut=Button(bframe, text="OK", command=self.returnValue,
underline=False, default="active")
cancelBut = Button(bframe, text="Cancel", command=self.cancel,
underline=False)
okBut.pack(side="left")
cancelBut.pack(side="right")
def returnValue(self):
self.value=self.ew.get("1.0", END)
self.quit()
if __name__ == '__main__':
mywin = Tk()
Button(mywin, text="Go",
command=lambda win=mywin, prompt="Hello": editString(win,
prompt)).pack()
mywin.mainloop()
