One thing I could use some help with if anyone is bored.... I try to
draw a constant message overtop the FloatCanvas, which is always there
and always in the same position (top left corner). I did not want to use
a floatcanvas object for this as I (thought I?) would have to keep
moving it's position... so my solution is below. It works but I have a
very strange bug in my program where if you click a wx.Menubar then
click the FC (which calls FC.Draw), my message disappears until the next
draw... :(
The code is below... and is super-sloppy. I will work on trying to
create a small sample with the original FC module that recreates the
issue (it is probably 99% not a problem with FC). I investigated
FC.OnPaint but that never seems to get called. For the longest time I
thought that FC was a subclass of wx.Window ... and this issue made me
realize the sheer amount of work Chris put in. Chris - cannot thank you
enough for your effort!
(Code is not clean - ignore my self._options, that is my globals class
for getting drawing attributes)
<code>
def DrawMessage(self,dc):
#print "%s.DrawMessage: drawing message..." % (self)
ScreenDC = dc
Font = eval(self._options.Get(opt.OPT_WORKSPACE_FONT, dont_print =
True))
Font.SetPointSize(12)
ScreenDC.SetFont(Font)
ScreenDC.SetBackgroundMode(wx.SOLID)
ScreenDC.SetBackground(self.BackgroundBrush)
selection = self._options(opt.OPT_DISPLAY_BRANCH_RESULTS)
if not selection: selection =
self._options(opt.OPT_DISPLAY_NODE_RESULTS)
msg = self.GetShowingText(selection)
ScreenDC.DrawText(msg,5,5)
#Get text height
w,h = ScreenDC.GetTextExtent('X')
selection = self._options(opt.OPT_DISPLAY_BRANCH_RESULTS2)
if not selection: selection =
self._options(opt.OPT_DISPLAY_NODE_RESULTS2)
msg = self.GetShowingText(selection)
if selection:
ScreenDC.DrawText(msg,5,5+h)
draw2 = True
else:
draw2 = False
selection = self._options(opt.OPT_DISPLAY_BRANCH_RESULTS3)
if not selection: selection =
self._options(opt.OPT_DISPLAY_NODE_RESULTS3)
msg = self.GetShowingText(selection)
if selection:
if draw2: ScreenDC.DrawText(msg,5,5+h+h)
else: ScreenDC.DrawText(msg,5,5+h)
</code>
Thanks,
Ben
