While I'm a user, I'm not a guru. Those are at:
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pythoncard-users for
pythoncard.
I know a common technique is on a button event for the "ok" or "apply"
button is to validate all the text fields in an exception safe setting. On
exception exit the event handler make an error notice. You could even color
the guilty text box text red then exit the event handler. Only if all the
boxes make it through, do you actually process the input.
GUI code often is...hairy...when done correctly. That's why is should be
separated into its own files: to keep the hair out of your main program.
