Method Details

init(self, form, controls)
(Constructor)

Contruct a Form class. This class wraps around AskUsingForm() and provides an easier / alternative syntax for describing forms. The form control names are wrapped inside the opening and closing curly braces and the control themselves are defined and instantiated via various form controls (subclasses of Form).

Parameters:

form - The form string
controls - A dictionary containing the control name as a _key_ and control object as _value_

Overrides: object.__init__

Free(self)

Frees all resources associated with a compiled form. Make sure you call this function when you finish using the form.

Add(self, name, ctrl, mkattr=True)

Low level function. Prefer AddControls() to this function. This function adds one control to the form.

Parameters:

name - Control name
ctrl - Control object
mkattr - Create control name / control object as a form attribute

AddControls(self, controls, mkattr=True)

Adds controls from a dictionary. The dictionary key is the control name and the value is a Form.Control object

Parameters:

controls - The control dictionary

CompileEx(self, form)

Low level function. Compiles (parses the form syntax and adds the control) the form string and returns the argument list to be passed the argument list to AskUsingForm(). The form controls are wrapped inside curly braces: {ControlName}. A special operator can be used to return the ID of a given control by its name: {id:ControlName}. This is useful when you use the STARTITEM form keyword to set the initially focused control.

Parameters:

form - Compiles the form and returns the arguments needed to be passed to AskUsingForm()

Compile(self)

Compiles a form and returns the form object (self) and the argument list. The form object will contain object names corresponding to the form elements

Returns:: It will raise an exception on failure. Otherwise the return value is ignored

Compiled(self)

Checks if the form has already been compiled

Returns:: Boolean

Execute(self)

Displays a compiled form.

Returns:: 1 - ok ; 0 - cancel

EnableField(self, ctrl, enable)

Enable or disable an input field

Returns:: False - no such control

ShowField(self, ctrl, show)

Show or hide an input field

Returns:: False - no such control

MoveField(self, ctrl, x, y, w, h)

Move/resize an input field

Returns:: False - no such fiel

GetFocusedField(self)

Get currently focused input field.

Returns:: None if no field is selected otherwise the control ID

SetFocusedField(self, ctrl)

Set currently focused input field

Returns:: False - no such control

RefreshField(self, ctrl)

Refresh a field

Returns:: False - no such control

GetControlValue(self, ctrl)

Returns the control's value depending on its type

Parameters:

ctrl - Form control instance

Returns:

number: color button, radio controls
string: file/dir input, string input and string label
int list: for embedded chooser control (0-based indices of selected items)
None: on failure

SetControlValue(self, ctrl, value)

Set the control's value depending on its type

Parameters:

ctrl - Form control instance
value -
- embedded chooser: base a 0-base indices list to select embedded chooser items

Returns:

Boolean true on success
