Thank you! That works perfectly. :)
For any other noobs who stumble across this and want to do the same thing:
You can reference the widget using the lowercase name of the widget class.
In my case, I use GenPollText, so I would use for eg:
def my_update(qtile):
w = qtile.widgets_map["genpolltext"]
w.tick()
Key(
[mod], "a",
lazy.function(my_update),
)
But what if you have more than one GenPollText widget? The code above will
only update the first instance. To get around this, add the name property
to each widget config, eg:
top = bar.Bar([
widget.GenPollText(
name = myWidget1
func = myFunc_1,
),
widget.GenPollText(
name = myWidget2
func = myFunc_2,
),
...
You can then reference each widget by its name. Eg to update the second
widget the function becomes:
def my_update(qtile):
w = qtile.widgets_map["myWidget2"]
w.tick()
