OK, so I've found in TraitsUI that there are functions for error() and message() that place text into a 'MessageBox' along with optional buttons (like OK and/or Cancel).
How do I trap for the OK or Cancel button being pressed from a message() or error() call?
I was asked to submit an example...here's a simple little one I threw together:
from traits.api import HasTraits,Button
from traitsui.api import View, Group, Item
from traitsui.message import auto_close_message, error, message
class Testing(HasTraits):
EBtn = Button( 'make error msg')
MBtn = Button( 'make message msg')
ACBtn = Button( 'make AC message')
view = View(
Group(
Item ("EBtn", show_label=False),
Item ("MBtn", show_label=False),
Item ("ACBtn", show_label=False),
)
)
def _EBtn_fired(self):
"""create an error() message"""
rtn = error('This is an error() message', 'test message')
auto_close_message('error() button hit was ' + repr(rtn), 2.0, 'Button Return')
def _MBtn_fired(self):
"""create a message() message"""
rtn = message('This is a message() message', 'test message', buttons=['OK', 'Cancel', 'Something Different'])
auto_close_message('message() button hit was ' + repr(rtn), 3.0, 'Button Return')
def _ACBtn_fired(self):
"""create an auto_close_message() message"""
rtn = auto_close_message('This is an auto_close_message() message', 2.0, 'test message')
# Run the program (if invoked from the command line):
if __name__ == '__main__':
# Create the dialog:
testDialog = Testing()
# put the actual dialog up...
testDialog.configure_traits()
If you click the middle button (for a Message Box), it has 3 buttons...OK, Cancel, and Something Different...The Message returns if OK or Cancel are hit, and I can test the return value, however, if my custom button (Something Different) is clicked, nothing happens? How can I tell if my custom button is pressed?
