XML GUI
Looking for information on creating a GUI using a configuration file (like an XML file or something). Also, how do you map actions (button clicks, menu selections, etc) to the XML? Any other suggestions for building GUI's for Python projects...even Jython. Thanks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: XML GUI
if gtk is your toolkit of choice (using pygtk) you can design your user interface in glade (which saves it as an xml file) and then load it during runtime using libglade for more information check pygtk.org iand the faq http://www.async.com.br/faq/pygtk/index.py?req=all (--> especially section 22 - libglade) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: XML GUI
how about wxPython? I am interested in something that will look native on various operating systems (win, mac, *nix). any good tutorial on using wxPython with XML? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: XML GUI
I had to do something like this for a project I was working on a while ago, it was a program based on alota plugins that would use a config file that looked sorta like an Xorg configuration, it seemed kinda hard at the time but it's acctually pretty fun and easy, the hard part is functionality you wanna make sure that you have everything planed out before tackling this, as for bindings and whatnot all I did was type the method I want to call in the config, and then I would use eval() to call it up, kinda sloppy but it worked fine. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

The wxPython distribution comes with XRCed, which is a graphical gui-builder that serializes to XRC (wxWidgets XML syntax). (I'm assuming you just want to use XML to describe the gui. If you want to define your own xml syntax, then you'll have to wait for someone more experienced than me for help. There are several packages for using cusom XML.

Re: XML GUI
wxPython sounds like it might be the ticket...especially with the XRC files. I plan on defining the GUI via XML, and actions in my python app. Thanks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: XML GUI
www.wxpython.org Look for the Docs and examples file. It has a full list of interesting examples, including the way for loading GUIs from xrc files. The xrc files can be generated from DialogBlocks, XRCEditor, wxDesigner. Daniel -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

See "more stupid element tricks: generating tkinter user interfaces from xml, part 1 " at http://online.effbot.org/2003_08_01_archive.htm Good luck! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

If you're talking about simple "dialog" thing, where you ask question and users respond, then take a look at http://home.eol.ca/~parkw/index.html#gtk Also, you may want to look at Glade which spits out the layout in XML. But, for more intricate to-and-fro, use C and GTK+2. :-) -- William Park <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Toronto, Canada ThinFlash: Linux thin-client on USB key (flash) drive http://home.eol.ca/~parkw/thinflash.html BashDiff: Super Bash shell http://freshmeat.net/projects/bashdiff/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Also, how do you map actions (button > clicks, menu selections, etc) to the XML? Depending on GUI toolkit, you will have a range of choices: Glade for GTK, XRC for wxPython, Qt dialog editor also produces XML files with UI description. Each of these toolkits has its own way to process GUI events. -- Jarek Zgoda http://jpa.berlios.de/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
