DESCRIPTION

DDG 2004-06-10: A snidget that works like the gbuttons-widget that uses itcl. That way the wikit-tkGui can also be used on platforms where itcl is not available (like MacOS 9). Maybe command renaming is a better approach than naming the package gbutton. But that's more than I can do. Any suggestions how to do this? In order to test the code below grab the latest wikit.kit from [1], unwrap it, remove gbutton, add snitbutton and snit. Rewrap it, that's all!

DDG 2004-11-15: Fixed the #auto bug which I could not recognize because of a bug inside snit 0.93 which did not complain if generating two times the #auto command. Snit 0.97 now does complain. So I switched from a fake gButton type to a fake gButton namespace.

 #
 # Changes:
 # - width is now the width of the buttons
 # - the background of the standardbuttons is transparent 
 #   and thus the background of the widget is now visible
 # - options are now interpreted if used as gButton
 # - sizes are now calculated the right way and honoured
 #
 # Bugs:
 # - there is no "#auto" and thus this package cannot replace gbutton in
 #   wikit, fixed this by adding a gButton namespace [DDG]

stevel - Great work!

UKo 2004-09-26: it can't work as an replacement for gbutton in wikit, cause there is no such thing as #auto and the memberfunction init doesn't exist.

What is the best way to submit changes to this package? Change the code here on this page (the old code is in the versioning system)?

DDG 2004-11-15: this #auto-bug should be fixed now!

UKo 2004-09-27:

And the init procedure of gButton points to snitButton::init which does not exist (at least in the version present on this page.

DDG 2004-09-27: That's true and I missed it because inside wikit/gui.tcl the gButton::init procedure is inside a catch block. We may add a snitButton::init procedure or just delete the proc inside the gbutton-wrapper, because the only use of the wrapper should enabling wikit-gui-help.

UKo 2004-09-27: No! init is used to set default values for the options that a gbutton object is created with.

UKo 2004-09-27:

gButtons and thus snitButtons have some bugs that I have solved:

  • width is always the inital width of the canvas
  • background of the standardimages is white and thus cannot be changed
  • sizes (pady and wid) are not calculated right
  • (snitButton) options are not evaluated when given to gButton

Here's a simple example that shows this problems:
 package require Tk

 lappend auto_path .

 package require snit 0.93
 package require snitButton

 . configure -padx 8 -pady 8

 set b1 [snitButton .t1 -bg red]
 set b2 [snitButton .t2 -bg yellow]
 set b3 [snitButton .t3 -bg green]

 pack $b1 $b2 $b3 -side top

 $b1 new 1
 $b2 new 2; $b2 new 3
 $b3 new 4; $b3 new 5; $b3 new 6

Do you have another version? The only problems I was not able to solve are

  • #auto must be interpreted by snit or changed to %AUTO%
  • i haven't found a possibility to change the default options (that's what the init procedure is supposed to do) The default options are set while creating the type but I haven't found a way to change them after this -- how can a typemethod access the internal array options?

DDG 2004-09-27: If you solved a bug, improved the snit::type just feel free to add/change the code on this page. Changing, the Font,Color etc should be done via options like -font and an configure-handler which delegates the option accordingly to the right canvas item..

UKo 2004-09-27: OK, I have changed the source above. And like I've said above, the init can help avoid lots of the same -font or similar config flags while creating the snitButton objects. If you want all your buttons with font f you can say
 snitButton::init -font f

Maybe there is a place in snit to change the default settings for object options.

WHD: You could always use the option database. Alternatively, you can define a typemethod to set the option database values for you.
