The Luxor XUL (XML User Interface Language) Python example suite is now available and includes a mini calculator, a channel surfer, a counter and more. Grab a copy at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=28946 (look for the luxor-python-examples package). Here's a sneak preview: counter.xul: ================================ <xul> <vbox id="COUNTER"> <groupbox> <caption label="Counter"/> <textbox id="DISPLAY" style="align: center; color: yellow; background: black; font: 24 bold monospace;" /> </groupbox> <hbox> <button label="Dec (-)" command="dec" style="width: 90px" /> <button label="Clear" command="clear" style="width: 90px" /> <button label="Inc (+)" command="inc" style="width: 90px" /> </hbox> </vbox> </xul> counter.py ================================ # -- cut -- class CounterForm( XulForm ): def __init__( self ): XulForm.__init__( self, "COUNTER" ) self.setup() def init( self ): self.display = XulInput( self, "DISPLAY" ) def setCounter( self, counter ): self.display.text = str( counter ) class AppFrame( JFrame ): def __init__( self ): JFrame.__init__( self, "Luxor Counter Example" ) DynXulAction( "inc", self.onIncCounter ) DynXulAction( "dec", self.onDecCounter ) xul = XulMan( "c:/sandbox/python/src/counter/chrome" ) def onIncCounter( self ): self.counter += 1 self.updateCounter() def onDecCounter( self ): self.counter -= 1 self.updateCounter() # -- cut -- That's it.
