[issue12723] tkSimpleDialog.askstring shouldn't allow empty string input
Matthew Hemke added the comment: What about adding a validatecommand option like on Tkinter.Entry? For what I am trying to do it was sort of a kludge to validate the entry because an empty string was invalid, but in the interface design, it would have been "rude" to validate after the dialog closes and then keep popping up another tkSimpleDialog.askstring until the input is correct. It almost makes askstring useless because I can't validate on close. That wouldn't break backwards compatibility would it? -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue12723> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue12723] Provide an API in tkSimpleDialog for defining custom validation functions
Matthew Hemke added the comment: I'm not sure if I misunderstood you, or you misunderstood me, but adding an option to the askstring dialog that would take a function handle would also allow you to use it for things other than strings (ints,etc.) Tkinter Entry does this: you set the validatecommand option to a function handle that returns true or false to determine whether the input was valid. I will try and code an example over the weekend. -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue12723> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
