Installing tkdnd
by Sajjad Hussain Aug. 30, 2005

Aug. 30, 2005

Hi, I am trying to install tkdnd and its tkinter wrapper available from these sites: http://sourceforge.net/projects/tkdnd http://www.8ung.at/klappnase/TkinterDnD/TkinterDnD.html I have placed the TkinterDnD.py in the lib-Tk folder of Python. I have also unzipped and placed the tkdnd-1.0a2 (contains the demo, lib, doc folders) folder in Tcl\lib folder. There are two dlls available. They are: libtkdnd.dll and libtkdnd10.dll. I am not to sure where to place them. Now when I type the following commands, I get the error shown below: >>> from Tkinter import * >>> import TkinterDnD >>> root = TkinterDnD.Tk() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ? File "c:\Python23\lib\TkinterDnD.py", line 104, in __init__ self.tk.eval('package require tkdnd') TclError: can't find package tkdnd Can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong. ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs

Updating of a Window
by Sajjad Hussain Aug. 30, 2005

Aug. 30, 2005

Hi, I have basically packed all my widgets and frames in a label (with an image) which serves as my background. Now the problem I am having is that when I leave my mouse curser on the title window (with the title of the program and min, max, quit icons) my screen inside that window is updated after 2 or 3 seconds. But when it is updated only the label's image is displayed and rest of my widgets (packed inside that label) disappear. Although when I go on top of the relative position of a disppeared button widget (packed inside that label) and click on it, it appears and functions properly. Can anyone please tell me what the problem is. On another topic, I read that non-rectangular windows such as the one used by Windows Media player can be created in Visual Studio using Windows GDI. (I have a link to a tutorial on how to do this if anyone is interested). I was wondering if we can do the same using Tkinter. I know Python has wrappers for some GDI methods. Also, if someone is interested in just displaying the GUI with no titlebar (no min, max, quit), they can use wm_overridedirect method. However, this method prevents the user in minimizing, maximizing or quitting (solution: provide your own quit method). You cannot move the window either. By the way, can we implement our own tk_grab methods to move windows. Regards, Sajjad __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

hi sajid, you simply use that wm_resizeble option where you can restrict the user from changing its height or width Regards Godson On 8/27/05, tkinter-discuss-request(a)python.org < tkinter-discuss-request(a)python.org> wrote: > > Send Tkinter-discuss mailing list submissions to > tkinter-discuss(a)python.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tkinter-discuss > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > tkinter-discuss-request(a)python.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > tkinter-discuss-owner(a)python.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Tkinter-discuss digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

Hi Sajjad, You can see how to do this here: http://www.pythonware.com/library/tkinter/introduction/x9867-window-geometr… at the very bottom of the page. The resizable option takes a tuple instead of something like resizable=False. Essentially, you'll need to do the following: master.resizable(0, 0) # as in x=0 and y=0 if master is an instance of Tk() This will keep the window from being resized and make the 'maximum' button on the window to be shown as inactive (or 'grayed out' as some may say).
