Re: [PythonCE] wxPython for PythonCE announcement
I still think that the problem is related to hard coded paths in the binary. While the actual name of the storage card might not be the problem, what appears more certain is that the program can't find the necessary files - either because of the default paths that the author uses or because the names don't agree with what I have on my pda. My problems don't relate to how I get my scripts over to the pda since I do not use ActiveSync, preferring to transfer files either via wifi or bluetooth. It seems to me that the only common denominator is that this app runs better from main memory and not from a storage card. There is no way that I can free up enough space to run this baby from main memory. There are other apps that I prefer to give this precious memory space to rather than pythonce and its evil twin sister, wxPythonce. For wxpythonce to work from my storage card, methinks that the author will have to change the paths so that the necessary files can be located. I vote for adding \Storage Card\Program Files\Python24\Lib\wxto the mix. This problem can only get worst, the more python distributions one has. Currently, I keep python 2.3.4, python2.4.2 and python 2.5 on my storage card. which means that there are actually three python directories, not one. So while his paths might work for python 2.4.x, they won't work with my python 2.5 or python 2.3.x installs. Interesting enough for me, I can't get the python 2.3 version of wx to run with python 2.3 either. While I can at least type import wx using the 2.3 versions of both products and not have the device blow up or produce an error, I can't run any programs because, again, certain files can't be found. Given all of the little show stopping gotchas that I've experienced with (a) the tk8.4.dll blowing up my combobox control within bwidgets and now (b) wxPythonce not even being able to run, this is enough to make me want to go back to using microsoft's various gui builders and simply call things via ctypes. Sign... If only we could get Linux loaded on these windows mobile 5.0 designed devices, then my how to compile proper binaries problems would go away. jeffbarish wrote: Jeffrey Barish wrote: I suspect that the problem actually has something to do with ActiveSync.

The spacing of lines in a list control is larger in virtual mode than it is in normal mode. I don't know whether any current readers are actually interested in my experience with the new wxPython port, but I figure that I should continue the thread for the sake of the historical record. The line spacing was different not because the list control was in virtual mode but because I was attempting to put a graphic in the header. Although the graphic does not appear in the header (or anywhere else), wxPythonCE increases the spacing of lines. Note that the graphic I was attempting to include was sufficiently small that it should not have been necessary to increase line spacing to display it. (But also note that I inserted the graphic only in the header, not in the body of the list control.) It seems as if there may be a correlation between this problem with graphics and the other problem that I described (item 4). In both cases there is evidence that wxPythonCE is treating the graphic as something larger than it is. The solution to the problem was to disable the code that attempted to put the graphic in the header. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/wxPython-for-PythonCE-announcement-tf2024801.html#a6170974 Sent from the Python - pythonce forum at Nabble.com. ___ PythonCE mailing list PythonCE@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonce
Re: [PythonCE] wxPython for PythonCE announcement
Did you ever resolve this issue? When I installed wxPython on a first PDA, it worked fine right away. However, I just installed it on a second one of the exact same model (Dell Axim X51v) with the exact same memory complement and have encountered the same problem you reported. I get the error message even when I run the software in an environment with more free memory than I have on the first PDA. I strongly suspect that the problem is not actually insufficient memory despite what the message says, but I have no idea what it might be. (Have I mentioned recently that I hate Windows Mobile?)

Re: [PythonCE] wxPython for PythonCE announcement
Here are descriptions of some problems I have encountered with the recent port of wxPython: 1. On startup, I get the error message: Please install a newer version of comctl32.dll (at least version 4.70 is required by you have 0.00) or this program will not operate correctly. 2. wx.NullColour does not work. To be precise, wx.SetBackgroundColour(wx.NullColour) and wx.SetTextColour(wx.NullColour) do not restore the default color. 3. Something is wrong with dc.Blit(). I use a logical function of wx.EQUIV to erase a background that I drew over text. The background gets erased, but the text changes to the color of the background and becomes 1 pixel wider. If I force a redraw, the text takes on the correct color and width and subsequent calls to dc.Blit() erase the background properly without changing the text color or width. 4. StaticBitmaps (type png) have strange sizing behavior. When I draw a 15-pixel circle on a 16-pixel background, the background extends beyond the available space and the circle is too big by a factor of 2. When I draw a 15-pixel circle on a 32-pixel background, the background is the same size (too big by a factor of 2) and the circle is the correct size. When the bitmap is type bmp, nothing appears. 5. There are no borders around controls, but that characteristic may be the native behavior on winCE. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/wxPython-for-PythonCE-announcement-tf2024801.html#a5890311 Sent from the Python - pythonce forum at Nabble.com. ___ PythonCE mailing list PythonCE@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonce
Re: [PythonCE] wxPython for PythonCE announcement
From what I remember, list controls are very limited on WinCE and the virtual mode is missing (basically, all owner drawn things are missing in WinCE). That's probably why it doesn't work. It's also the reason checkbox lists aren't working. However, it should be possible to drop in the wxUniversal list control though, that'll probably have all the functions but it won't be a 'native' control anymore. At the moment, I don't have a lot of time in front of a computer that can run eVC (only thing I have atm is my PDA) so development is going rather slowly. My first priority atm is getting the commandbar working properly. Ingmar On 8/5/06, jeffbarish [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Never mind.

Ah, but it does work -- aside from some minor anomalies that I am still investigating.

[PythonCE] wxPython for PythonCE announcement
(I hope this doesn't go around twice, but I got some strange replies when sending this earlier) Hi all, I'd like to announce the release of my initial effort to 'port' wxPython to PythonCE. You can find the wiki (with links to the source and binary archives and building instructions) here: http://wxpyce.wikispaces.com/ The port isn't very mature yet (f.e. somehow the commandbar doesn't show), but I'm hoping to get help from all of you. The end-goal of the project is to get things stable and clean enough to include it into the official wxPython tree. Let me know how this works out for you and feel free to ask questions if you have any. btw. I am by no means a wxWidgets, wxPython, Python(CE) or eVC4 expert.
