The tabs don't have to encompass the whole pyvcp window, only the items in the box that needs to change. I can't guess how much load it may add to your puny little pi. Can't imagine it would be a whole lot.
Unfortunately I don't think pyvcp does dynamic anything (hence why the tabs hack to start with) including using anything other than a mouse click for selecting the tabs. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gene Heskett" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, February 16, 2017 10:56:17 AM Subject: Re: [Emc-users] No gladevcp on a pi, no glade-gtk2 in the repo's, whats next? Humm.... When the detectors get here, so I can feed it a 5-pack of signals if the backgear lever is included, its possible that those signals might also be rigged in parallel with the mouse clicks that change the tabs, so the tab change would be automatic at initial run time. But it would be a tab switch for an after init time change. But with 8 essentially duplicates of the xml code to draw them, would this not be a huge suckage on the pi's limited resources? Other than that, I don't have any objections. I would need to set the tabs up to control 2 sets of 4 meters yadda, yadda. That would be 5 tab buttons total with the first one selecting which bank of 4 to select. So if backgear was engaged, the tabs would be labeled 5,6,7,8. Or is that dynamic relabeling of the tabs even doable? I don't know. Might have to define 8 tabs and only show the 4 currently applicable. More reading, thats for sure. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
