Hi all, I'm doing a GUI for describing connectors and the signals attached. the system runs on CentOS release 5.2 (FINAL) using python 2.5 and tcl/tk 8.4
I have a class Pin that contains two class attributes that are dialogs. They are built by a helper routine as follows: if type(Pin.clkDialog) == type(None): Pin.clkDialog = bldTypeDlg(self.cnctr.gui.parent, ("Clock State Selector", "Choose a Default \nClock State\n\n\n\n"), CLKVALUES, 0) Pin.clkDialog.geometry('+%d+%d'%(400,400)) Pin.clkDialog.withdraw() the second dialog is similar but with different strings passed in. they are activated from one field of an instance variable dialog self.valDialog The strange behavior is as follows: The first time the class dialogs are activated they appear in front of but immediately go behind the valDialog and are hidden. After moving the valDialog and using the class dialogs, subsequent activations appear at a location that is effected by the geometry spec in the activate routine. the activation code is ##################################################################################### ##################################################################################### def getClkState(self, event): Pin.clkDialog.geometry('+%d+%d'%(400,400)) rslt = Pin.clkDialog.tkraise() resp = Pin.clkDialog.activate() if resp == 'OK': self.clkNominal = Pin.clkDialog.get() self.entries[5].setentry(self.clkNominal) self.valDisps[4].setentry( self.clkNominal ) else: return "break" ##################################################################################### ##################################################################################### def getLgcState(self, event): Pin.lgcDialog.geometry('+%d+%d'%(400,400)) rslt = Pin.lgcDialog.tkraise() resp = Pin.lgcDialog.activate() if resp == 'OK': self.lgcNominal = Pin.lgcDialog.get() self.entries[5].setentry(self.lgcNominal) self.valDisps[4].setentry( self.lgcNominal ) else: return "break" Any ideas on what's going on? and how to fix it?
