TraitsUi handler return True or False

TraitsUi handler return True or False
 
|
Hi all,
I'm restoring some old programs in TraitsUI and am trying to make a simple dialog that alerts the user of the pre-existence of a file. I'd like the handler to return True or False when clicks Ok or Cancel, respectively. I can't figure out how to return this, so have resorted to setting an intermediate trait called "overwrite" to store the boolean status after the user has pressed the button. I also tried to overwrite the FileExistsHandler, but think I am probably better off just using my own Handler.
Can you guys help me trim the fat off of this; it feels too intricate for what I need. Thanks. from enthought.traits.ui.file_dialog import FileExistsHandler class FileOverwrite(FileExistsHandler): ''' See api
Modified to delete files, not directories.''' file_name=Str() ok=Button('Yes') overwrite=Bool(False) view = View(VGroup( HGroup(Item('handler.message', show_label = False, style = 'readonly', springy = True), show_border = True),
HGroup( Item('handler.ok', show_label = False), Item('handler.cancel', show_label = False) ),
), kind = 'popup', title='File already exists') def _message_default(self): return 'Warning: File %s will be overwritten, are you sure you want to continue?'%self.file_name
def handler_ok_changed ( self, info ): """ Handles the user clicking the OK button. """ info.ui.dispose( True )
self.overwrite=True def handler_cancel_changed ( self, info ): """ Handles the user clicking the Cancel button. """
info.ui.dispose( False ) self.overwrite=False a=FileOverwrite(file_name='testfile') a.edit_traits(kind='modal')

Hi Adam,
I tend to use pyface for these simple/standard dialogs, in this case a pyface ConfirmationDialog would seem to be close to what you need, and a lot simpler. If you need this level of complexity, then I think you can use the ui.result instead of using the handler_ok and handler_cancel, something like:
class FileOverwriteDialog(...): filename = File message = Str def _message_default(self):
... traits_view = View( Item('message', style='readonly'),
buttons=OKCancelButtons, ) a = FileOverwriteDialog(...) ui = a.edit_traits(kind='modal') print ui.result
The final twist in all of this is that I recently fixed a bug where Handler's configure_traits() methods were not returning the result in the same way that a standard HasTraits class' configure_traits() method did - I don't think it affected edit_traits() methods, but I might have missed something. So in other words, you might check out the github master traitsui as well.

Thanks a lot Corran, this is exactly what I was looking for.

One last thing Corran, sorry. With the implementation you showed, is it possible to relable the buttons? EG make OK go to "Yes" and CANCEL to "no"?

EG make OK go to "Yes" and CANCEL to "no"?In a Traits dialog I use buttons defined using Action from traitsui.menu import Action ... myButton=Action(name='Click Me',action='_clickme_clicked') .... and in the view definition, buttons=[myButton,'Cancel'], but I don't know if this will work in a pyface dialog.

print result == YES -- Corran _______________________________________________ Enthought-Dev mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.enthought.com/mailman/listinfo/enthought-dev |

Won't work that way for pyface - it's just a trait-ified wrapper around the toolkit native dialogs, but the ConfirmationDialog constructor has arguments which let you specify button text (default is 'Yes' and 'No' with an optional 'Cancel').
Did a little digging, and it looks like it's harder for the TraitsUI approach as various pieces of code appear to be looking for the actual button name (as opposed to the id...) as being 'OK', so you'd need to do a fair amount of work to get the OK button to have text 'Yes', I fear.

Thanks for looking into that for me Corran. If I absolutely need it, I can resort to my original implementation, but I can live with OK Cancel and a succinct class.
I appreciate your help.
