Receiving user input
Posted: Sat Jul 18, 2020 3:36 pm
Since the IDE in VE scripts has no command-line/shell and there is a limited number of libraries that can be imported, is there a way to receive user input? Thanks!
You can use the tkinter library to build guis and request user input such as the following example code that pops up an text input box and returns the text in the console IIRC.
Hope this helps
Code: Select all
import tkinter as tk
def generate_window(project):
class Window(tk.Frame):
def __init__(self, master=None):
tk.Frame.__init__(self, master)
self.project = project
self.project_folder = project.path
self.text_entry = ''
self.master = master
self.init_window()
# Creation of init_window
def init_window(self):
# changing the title of our master widget
self.master.title("Input text")
self.master.columnconfigure(0, weight=1)
self.master.rowconfigure(0, weight=1)
self.master.grid()
print(self.project_folder)
tk.Label(self, text=' ').grid(row=7, sticky=tk.W)
tk.Label(self, text='Text will be returned in the console').grid(row=8, sticky=tk.W)
tk.Label(self, text='Enter the text below:').grid(row=9, sticky=tk.W)
self.text_entry_box = tk.Entry(self)
self.text_entry_box.insert(0, self.text_entry)
self.text_entry_box.grid(row=10, sticky='ew')
tk.Label(self, text=' ').grid(row=11, sticky=tk.W)
# creating a button instance
tk.Button(self, text="Return text", command=self.return_text).grid(row=12, sticky=tk.W)
self.columnconfigure(0, weight=1)
self.grid(row=0, column=0, sticky='nsew')
def return_text(self):
self.text_entry = self.text_entry_box.get()
print('Text entered = ' + self.text_entry)
root = tk.Tk()
app = Window(root)
root.mainloop()
if __name__ == '__main__':
project = iesve.VEProject.get_current_project()
generate_window(project)
