Well, there is really no big technology here. It's a simple matter of a 1 to 1
mapping between Pythoncard features and qxtransformer features.
For a single button within a resizable window, you pop-up the designer, draw a
window, drop a button in there, and move it to the position you like. Then the
designer generates the following Python dictionary:
========
{'application':{'type':'Application',
'name':'qxsample',
'backgrounds': [
{'type':'Background',
'name':'bgQxSample',
'title':'Standard qxTransformer Template with File->Exit menu',
'size':(400, 300),
'style':['resizeable'],
'menubar': {'type':'MenuBar',
'menus': [
{'type':'Menu',
'name':'menuFile',
'label':'&File',
'items': [
{'type':'MenuItem',
'name':'menuFileExit',
'label':'E&xit',
'command':'exit',
},
]
},
]
},
'components': [
{'type':'Button',
'name':'Button1',
'position':(243, 166),
'size':(93, -1),
'label':'Button1',
},
] # end components
} # end background
] # end backgrounds
} }
========
Here's the qxtransformer code created by my poor-man GUI designer (lots of
details still missing):
========
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<qx:root
xmlns:qx="http://www.qxtransformer.org/qooxdoo";
xmlns:qxt="http://www.qxtransformer.org/extension";
qooxdooVersion="0.7"
>
<qx:application
namespace="qxsample"
authors="Author Name"
translate="false"
title="Standard qxTransformer Template with File->Exit menu"
>
<qx:window
id="bgQxSample"
width="400" height="300"
caption="Standard qxTransformer Template with File->Exit menu"
modal="false" showMinimize="false" showMaximize="false"
showClose="false" display="true" onAppear="this.leftToBrowser()"
>
<!-- add your code here -->
<qx:button
id="Button1"
label="Button1"
>
</qx:button>
</qx:window>
</qx:application>
</qx:root>
========
Of course, to complete the example code above, all I need is to figure out how
to specify initial position of the window (which Pythoncard allows), how to
specify position of the button within the window, and so on.
You guys did all the hi-tech stuff. I am only doing the rather boring low-tech
coding. :-)
