- abouteasygui()
- shows the easygui revision history
- boolbox(msg='Shall I continue?', title=' ', choices=('Yes', 'No'), image=None)
- Display a boolean msgbox.
The default is the first choice.
The returned value is calculated this way::
if the first choice is chosen, or if the dialog is cancelled:
returns 1
else:
returns 0
- buttonbox(msg='', title=' ', choices=('Button1', 'Button2', 'Button3'), image=None, root=None)
- Display a msg, a title, and a set of buttons.
The buttons are defined by the members of the choices list.
Return the text of the button that the user selected.
@arg msg: the msg to be displayed.
@arg title: the window title
@arg choices: a list or tuple of the choices to be displayed
- ccbox(msg='Shall I continue?', title=' ', choices=('Continue', 'Cancel'), image=None)
- Display a msgbox with choices of Continue and Cancel.
The default is "Continue".
The returned value is calculated this way::
if the first choice ("Continue") is chosen, or if the dialog is cancelled:
return 1
else:
return 0
If invoked without a msg argument, displays a generic request for a confirmation
that the user wishes to continue. So it can be used this way::
if ccbox():
pass # continue
else:
sys.exit(0) # exit the program
@arg msg: the msg to be displayed.
@arg title: the window title
@arg choices: a list or tuple of the choices to be displayed
- choicebox(msg='Pick something.', title=' ', choices=())
- Present the user with a list of choices.
return the choice that he selects.
return None if he cancels the selection selection.
@arg msg: the msg to be displayed.
@arg title: the window title
@arg choices: a list or tuple of the choices to be displayed
- codebox(msg='', title=' ', text='')
- Display some text in a monospaced font, with no line wrapping.
This function is suitable for displaying code and text that is
formatted using spaces.
The text parameter should be a string, or a list or tuple of lines to be
displayed in the textbox.
- diropenbox(msg=None, title=None, default=None)
- A dialog to get a directory name.
Note that the msg argument, if specified, is ignored.
Returns the name of a directory, or None if user chose to cancel.
If the "default" argument specifies a directory name, and that
directory exists, then the dialog box will start with that directory.
- egdemo()
- Run the EasyGui demo.
- enterbox(msg='Enter something.', title=' ', default='', strip=True, image=None, root=None)
- Show a box in which a user can enter some text.
You may optionally specify some default text, which will appear in the
enterbox when it is displayed.
Returns the text that the user entered, or None if he cancels the operation.
By default, enterbox strips its result (i.e. removes leading and trailing
whitespace). (If you want it not to strip, use keyword argument: strip=False.)
This makes it easier to test the results of the call::
reply = enterbox(....)
if reply:
...
else:
...
- exceptionbox(msg=None, title=None)
- Display a box that gives information about
an exception that has just been raised.
The caller may optionally pass in a title for the window, or a
msg to accompany the error information.
Note that you do not need to (and cannot) pass an exception object
as an argument. The latest exception will automatically be used.
- fileopenbox(msg=None, title=None, default='*', filetypes=None)
- A dialog to get a file name.
About the "default" argument
============================
The "default" argument specifies a filepath that (normally)
contains one or more wildcards.
fileopenbox will display only files that match the default filepath.
If omitted, defaults to "*" (all files in the current directory).
WINDOWS EXAMPLE::
...default="c:/myjunk/*.py"
will open in directory c:\myjunk\ and show all Python files.
WINDOWS EXAMPLE::
...default="c:/myjunk/test*.py"
will open in directory c:\myjunk\ and show all Python files
whose names begin with "test".
Note that on Windows, fileopenbox automatically changes the path
separator to the Windows path separator (backslash).
About the "filetypes" argument
==============================
If specified, it should contain a list of items,
where each item is either::
- a string containing a filemask # e.g. "*.txt"
- a list of strings, where all of the strings except the last one
are filemasks (each beginning with "*.",
such as "*.txt" for text files, "*.py" for Python files, etc.).
and the last string contains a filetype description
EXAMPLE::
filetypes = ["*.css", ["*.htm", "*.html", "HTML files"] ]
NOTE THAT
=========
If the filetypes list does not contain ("All files","*"),
it will be added.
If the filetypes list does not contain a filemask that includes
the extension of the "default" argument, it will be added.
For example, if default="*abc.py"
and no filetypes argument was specified, then
"*.py" will automatically be added to the filetypes argument.
@rtype: string or None
@return: the name of a file, or None if user chose to cancel
@arg msg: the msg to be displayed.
@arg title: the window title
@arg default: filepath with wildcards
@arg filetypes: filemasks that a user can choose, e.g. "*.txt"
- filesavebox(msg=None, title=None, default='', filetypes=None)
- A file to get the name of a file to save.
Returns the name of a file, or None if user chose to cancel.
The "default" argument should contain a filename (i.e. the
current name of the file to be saved). It may also be empty,
or contain a filemask that includes wildcards.
The "filetypes" argument works like the "filetypes" argument to
fileopenbox.
- indexbox(msg='Shall I continue?', title=' ', choices=('Yes', 'No'), image=None)
- Display a buttonbox with the specified choices.
Return the index of the choice selected.
- integerbox(msg='', title=' ', default='', lowerbound=0, upperbound=99, image=None, root=None, **invalidKeywordArguments)
- Show a box in which a user can enter an integer.
In addition to arguments for msg and title, this function accepts
integer arguments for "default", "lowerbound", and "upperbound".
The default argument may be None.
When the user enters some text, the text is checked to verify that it
can be converted to an integer between the lowerbound and upperbound.
If it can be, the integer (not the text) is returned.
If it cannot, then an error msg is displayed, and the integerbox is
redisplayed.
If the user cancels the operation, None is returned.
NOTE that the "argLowerBound" and "argUpperBound" arguments are no longer
supported. They have been replaced by "upperbound" and "lowerbound".
- msgbox(msg='(Your message goes here)', title=' ', ok_button='OK', image=None, root=None)
- Display a messagebox
- multchoicebox(msg='Pick as many items as you like.', title=' ', choices=(), **kwargs)
- Present the user with a list of choices.
allow him to select multiple items and return them in a list.
if the user doesn't choose anything from the list, return the empty list.
return None if he cancelled selection.
@arg msg: the msg to be displayed.
@arg title: the window title
@arg choices: a list or tuple of the choices to be displayed
- multenterbox(msg='Fill in values for the fields.', title=' ', fields=(), values=())
- Show screen with multiple data entry fields.
If there are fewer values than names, the list of values is padded with
empty strings until the number of values is the same as the number of names.
If there are more values than names, the list of values
is truncated so that there are as many values as names.
Returns a list of the values of the fields,
or None if the user cancels the operation.
Here is some example code, that shows how values returned from
multenterbox can be checked for validity before they are accepted::
----------------------------------------------------------------------
msg = "Enter your personal information"
title = "Credit Card Application"
fieldNames = ["Name","Street Address","City","State","ZipCode"]
fieldValues = [] # we start with blanks for the values
fieldValues = multenterbox(msg,title, fieldNames)
# make sure that none of the fields was left blank
while 1:
if fieldValues == None: break
errmsg = ""
for i in range(len(fieldNames)):
if fieldValues[i].strip() == "":
errmsg += ('"%s" is a required field.\n\n' % fieldNames[i])
if errmsg == "":
break # no problems found
fieldValues = multenterbox(errmsg, title, fieldNames, fieldValues)
writeln("Reply was: %s" % str(fieldValues))
----------------------------------------------------------------------
@arg msg: the msg to be displayed.
@arg title: the window title
@arg fields: a list of fieldnames.
@arg values: a list of field values
- multpasswordbox(msg='Fill in values for the fields.', title=' ', fields=(), values=())
- Same interface as multenterbox. But in multpassword box,
the last of the fields is assumed to be a password, and
is masked with asterisks.
Example
=======
Here is some example code, that shows how values returned from
multpasswordbox can be checked for validity before they are accepted::
msg = "Enter logon information"
title = "Demo of multpasswordbox"
fieldNames = ["Server ID", "User ID", "Password"]
fieldValues = [] # we start with blanks for the values
fieldValues = multpasswordbox(msg,title, fieldNames)
# make sure that none of the fields was left blank
while 1:
if fieldValues == None: break
errmsg = ""
for i in range(len(fieldNames)):
if fieldValues[i].strip() == "":
errmsg = errmsg + ('"%s" is a required field.\n\n' % fieldNames[i])
if errmsg == "": break # no problems found
fieldValues = multpasswordbox(errmsg, title, fieldNames, fieldValues)
writeln("Reply was: %s" % str(fieldValues))
- passwordbox(msg='Enter your password.', title=' ', default='', image=None, root=None)
- Show a box in which a user can enter a password.
The text is masked with asterisks, so the password is not displayed.
Returns the text that the user entered, or None if he cancels the operation.
- textbox(msg='', title=' ', text='', codebox=0)
- Display some text in a proportional font with line wrapping at word breaks.
This function is suitable for displaying general written text.
The text parameter should be a string, or a list or tuple of lines to be
displayed in the textbox.
- ynbox(msg='Shall I continue?', title=' ', choices=('Yes', 'No'), image=None)
- Display a msgbox with choices of Yes and No.
The default is "Yes".
The returned value is calculated this way::
if the first choice ("Yes") is chosen, or if the dialog is cancelled:
return 1
else:
return 0
If invoked without a msg argument, displays a generic request for a confirmation
that the user wishes to continue. So it can be used this way::
if ynbox(): pass # continue
else: sys.exit(0) # exit the program
@arg msg: the msg to be displayed.
@arg title: the window title
@arg choices: a list or tuple of the choices to be displayed
