Re: [Tutor] Configuration File, Tkinter, IntVars--Manufacturing Variables

[Wayne Watson]

Title: Signature.html

An interesting thought, I'll ponder it. Note though the use of control variables like IntVar, etc. In the 2000 line original version of all the program, integers, dates, and booleans are in use for the simplified widget I produced. Note to the use of self.anumberVar.set. (I think I mixed this up in my first response to you with StringVar.) Alan Gauld wrote: "Wayne Watson" <sierra_mtnv...@sbcglobal.net> wrote Comments? class IntVar_GUI: I just noticed the name of the class. This kind of implies that you are intending writing GUIs for each data type? That shouldn't be necessary since the inputs will be strings in each case. You only need to call the appropriate conversion function when you pull the data back from the input dialog. The exception might be if you want a different inpuit mechanism - like a drop down list or radio button. In that case the number of GUIs you write is determined by the number of input mechanisms used not the number of data types... Hopefully the mechanism list is shorter than the data type list! Just a thought. -- Wayne Watson (Watson Adventures, Prop., Nevada City, CA) (121.01 Deg. W, 39.26 Deg. N) GMT-8 hr std. time) “In mathematics you don't understand things.
