[Tkinter-discuss] FocusOut not working as expected - tix broken?

Dear list, I built a GUI using tkinter and tix (python 3.1/linux) and have a frame which wants to receive key events in a certain "mode". I do this when initializing the frame: class WBuildMenu(Frame, View): ... self._keyID = self.bind('', self._onKey, add=True) and later when entering the

Re: [Tkinter-discuss] FocusOut not working as expected - tix broken?

Hello Michael, Me: What I really get is this: I only get FocusOut when the mouse leaves the application window. I do not get FocusOut event when I click some other part of the application window which nonetheless results in the frame losing focus and no longer receiving key events. Currently, m

Re: [Tkinter-discuss] FocusOut not working as expected - tix broken?

Hello Michael, I'm back and tested a bit more. I updated to standard packages (debian wheezy) python 3.2 tcl/tk 8.5 tix 8.4.3 to avoid any problems with who is using who. I then expanded your test program to emulate my configuration and what I want to implement. There I noticed that it's not a ti

Re: [Tkinter-discuss] FocusOut not working as expected - tix broken?

Hello Michael, I found a workaround: import tkinter root = tkinter.Tk() f = tkinter.Frame(root) f.pack(fill='both', expand=1) tkinter.Button(f, text='foo').pack() f2 = tkinter.Frame(root) f2.pack(fill='both') tkinter.Button(f2, text='bar').pack(

Hello, thanks for the new hints/information Michael and Bryan. I don't know if your hints would work in my setup, though. Except bind_all, which should work, I guess. My program structure: I have a Frame, which is nearly the complete toplevel window (only a title label and quit button outside; t

Re: [Tkinter-discuss] Event debugger

Hi Vasilis and Michael, I thought you could use xev just by starting it in another shell with "xev -id ". Or do you lose some info by running it this way? (I mean even more than by the other heavy restrictions - they seem to make xev useless for event debugging. I'll have to look at the other t

Oops, sorry - too fast. The Map-Event occurs every time the widget is mapped to the screen, i.e. every transition from iconified->windowed calls ready(). So the ready-callback should be changed so it runs only once. Some questions from me: Any pointer to a better documentation (better than 'man n

Hi Alan, in your function 'moo' 'pi' is a local variable which gets garbage collected when the function returns. Thus your image goes to gc nirvana. Making 'pi' global like this def moo(master): global pi img = Image.open('plotfig.png') f = Tkinter.Frame(master, width=800, height=600
