It declares a +number of classes suitable for subclassing in your application, thereby +releaving you of the burden of doing all event handling, etc. yourself. For a +real understanding you will have to browse the source. Here is a short overview +of the classes and what functionality they provide. + +<dl> +<dt> <CODE>Application</CODE> +<dd> +This is the toplevel class you will override. It maintains the menu bar and contains +the main event handling code. Normal use is to override the <code>__init__</code> routine +to do your own initializations and override <code>makeusermenus</code> to create your menus +(your menu callback routines may be here too, but this is by no means necessary). +The event handling code can be overridden at various levels, from very low-level (the +<code>dispatch</code> method) to intermedeate level (<code>do_keyDown</code>, for instance) +to high-level (<code>do_key</code>). The application class knows about the <code>Window</code> +objects you create, and will forward events to the appropriate window (So, normally you +would have a <code>do_key</code> method in your window object, not your application object). + +<dt> <CODE>MenuBar</CODE>, <CODE>Menu</CODE> and <CODE>MenuItem</CODE> +<dd> +These classes (and a few friends like <CODE>SubMenu</CODE>) handle your menus. You would not +normally override them but use them as-is. The idiom for creating menus is a bit strange, +see the test code at the bottom of FrameWork for sample use. The apple menu is handled for you +by <CODE>MenuBar</CODE> and <CODE>Application</CODE>. + +<dt> <CODE>Window</CODE> +<dd> +The basic window. Again, a class that you normally subclass in your application, possibly +multiple times if you have different types of windows. The init call instantiates the data +structure but actually opening the window is delayed until you call <code>open</code>. Your +open method should call <code>do_postopen</code> to let the base class handle linking in to +the application object. Similarly with <code>close</code> and <code>do_postclose</code>. The +rest of the code is mainly event-oriented: you override <code>do_postresize</code>, +<code>do_contentclick</code>, <code>do_update</code>, <code>do_activate</code> +and <code>do_key</code> to "do your thing". When these methods are called the relevant environment +has been setup (like <code>BeginDrawing</code> has been called for updates, etc). + +<dt> <CODE>windowbounds</CODE> +<dd> +Not a class but a function: you pass it a width and height and it will return you a rectangle +you can use to create your window. It will take care of staggering windows and it will try +to fit the window on the screen (but the resulting rect will <em>always</em> have the size you +specify). + +<dt> <CODE>ControlsWindow</CODE> +<dd> +A subclass of Window which automatically handles drawing and clicking for controls. You override +the same methods as for Window (if you need to: control-related things are done automatically) and +<code>do_controlhit</code>. + +<dt> <CODE>ScrolledWindow</CODE> +<dd> +A subclass of ControlsWindow, a window with optional scrollbars. If you override <code>do_activate</code> +or <code>do_postresize</code> you must call the ScrolledWindow methods at the end of your override. +You call <code>scrollbars</code> to enable/disable scrollbars and <code>updatescrollbars</code> to +update them. You provide <code>getscrollbarvalues</code> to return the current x/y values (a helper +method <code>scalebarvalues</code> is available) and <code>scrollbarcallback</code> to update your +display after the user has used the scrollbars. + +<dt> <CODE>DialogWindow</CODE> +<dd> +A modeless dialog window initialized from a DLOG resource. See the +<A HREF="example2.html">second Interslip example</A> for its useage. +</dl> + +<H2>A sample text editor</H2> + +Let us have a look at <A HREF="textedit/ped.py">ped.py</A> (in the Demo:textedit folder), the Pathetic +EDitor. It has multiple windows, cut/copy/paste and keyboard input, but that is about all. It looks +as if you can resize the window but it does not work. Still, it serves as an example. We will improve +on ped later, in a <A HREF="waste.html">waste-based example</A>. <p> + +Ped creates two classes, <code>TEWindow</code> and <code>Ped</code>. Let us start with the latter one, +which is a subclass of <code>FrameWork.Application</code> and our main application. The init function +has little to do aside from the standard init: it remembers a window sequence number (for untitled windows), +and sets things up for menu disable to work. Remember, the <code>makeusermenus</code> is called +automatically. <p> + +<code>Makeusermenus</code> creates the <code>File</code> and <code>Edit</code> menus. It also initializes +a couple of lists that are used later to correctly enable and disable menu items (and complete menus) depending +on whether a window is open, text is selected, etc. The callback functions for the menu items are +all methods of this class. <p> + +<code>Updatemenubar</code> handles greying out (and re-enabling) of menu items depending on whether there +is a current window and its state. <p> + +The rest of the methods are all callbacks and simple to understand. They check whether there is an active +window (and complain loudly if there is none: the corresponding menu entry should have been disabled +in that case!) and call the appropriate window method. Only the <code>_open</code> method (the common code +for <code>Open</code> and <code>New</code>) deserves some mention. It instantiates a <code>TEWindow</code> +object and opens it with the title, filename and contents of the file to edit. Note that FrameWork takes +care of remembering the window object. A minor note on opening the file in binary mode: this is because +TextEdit expects MacOS style carriage-return terminated lines, not python/unix/C style newline-terminated +lines. <p> + +Oh yes: the <code>quit</code> callback does a little magic too. It closes all windows, and only if this +succeeds it actually quits. This gives the user a chance to cancel the operation if some files are unsaved. +Quitting itself is also a bit strange: you raise <code>self</code> to break out of the main loop. This bit +of idiom was invented by Guido, so blame him:-). <p> + +Lastly, there is the <code>idle</code> method, called by the Application base class when no event +is available. It is forwarded to the active window, so it can blink the text caret. <p> + +The <code>TEWindow</code> object handles a single window. Due to this structuring it is absolutely no +problem to have multiple windows open at the same time (although a real application should exercise care when +two windows refer to the same document). TEWindow uses the standard init code inherited from +<code>ScrolledWindow</code>, and sets itself up at the time of the <code>open</code> call. It obtains screen +coordinates, opens the window, creates rectangles for TextEdit to work in (the magical number <code>15</code> +here is the size of a normal scroll bar: unfortunately there is no symbolic constant for it), +creates the TextEdit object and initializes it with our data. Finally, the scroll bars are created (the +initial values will be obtained automatically through <code>getscrollbarvalues</code>) and we activate +ourselves (this is unfortunately not done automatically by the MacOS event handling code). <p> + +<code>Do_idle</code> simply calls the TextEdit routine that blinks the cursor. <code>Getscrollbarvalues</code> +returns the current X and Y scrollbar values, scaled to <code>0..32767</code>. For X we return <code>None</code>, +which means "no scrollbar, please", for Y we use the scaler provided by <code>ScrolledWindow</code>. <p> + +<code>Scrollbar_callback</code> is called when the user uses the scrollbar. It is passed a string <code>'x'</code> +or <code>'y'</code>, one of <code>'set', '-', '--', '+', '++'</code> and (for <code>set</code>) an absolute +value. Note that the sign of the value passed to <code>TEPinScroll</code> is counter-intuitive. <p> + +<code>do_activate</code> (de)activates the scrollbars and calls the relevant TextEdit routine. Moreover, it +tells the application object if we are now the active window, and updates the menubar. The next few methods +are update and menu callbacks, and pretty straightforward. Note that <code>do_close</code> can +return without closing the window (if the document is changed and the users cancels out of the operation). +Also note the "magic" in <code>menu_save_as</code> +that set the correct window title. <p> + +Things get moderately interesting again at the cut/copy/paste handling, since the TextEdit scrap is +separate from the desktop scrap. For that reason there are various calls to routines that move the scrap +back and forth. <code>Have_selection</code> is called by the menubar update code to determine whether cut and +copy should be enabled. <p> + +Understanding the main program is left as an exercise to the reader. <p> + +<hr> +That's all for this example, you could now continue with the <A HREF="waste.html">next example</A>, where we use WASTE, a more-or-less +TextEdit compatible library with more functionality, to rebuild our editor.

The only real change is that +we now handle <code>undo</code>. Aside from enabling it in the creation routine and the addition of +a callback routine there is a bit of new code in <code>updatemenubar</code>: Waste not only handles +the full details of implementing undo, it will also tell us what the next undo operation will undo +(or redo). We use this to our advantage by changing the undo menu label to tell the user. <p> + +The <code>WasteWindow</code> has seen a bit more change. Initialization of the waste data structure is +a bit different, in that we can specify some options at creation time. Also, waste has no <code>SetText</code> +method but a <code>UseText</code> which expects a handle as parameter. We have to be <EM>very</EM> careful +that we keep this handle around, because Python will happily free the handle if we have no more references +to it (and I doubt that Waste would like this:-). A final difference in <code>open</code> +is that we use a large number for the destination rectangle width, because we will use a horizontal scroll +bar. <p> + +The <code>idle</code> method is a bit more involved, since we also call <code>WEAdjustCursor</code> to +provide the correct cursor based on mouse-position. Users like this. <p> + +<code>Getscrollbarvalues</code> is simpler than its' TextEdit counterpart because Waste correctly +updates the destination rectangle when the document changes. Also note that waste uses accessor functions +to get at internal values, as opposed to direct struct access for TextEdit. <p> + +<code>Scrollbar_callback</code> on the other hand is more elaborate (but also provides more functionality). +It also handles horizontal scrolls (scrolling one-tenth and half a screenful with the buttons). This +function is also "multi-font-ready" in that scrolling one line will do the expected thing in case of multiple +fonts. We will implement a multi-font editor later. A minor annoyance of Waste is that is does not provide +a pinned scroll, so at the end of our callback routine we have to check that we have not scrolled past the +beginning or end of the document, and adjust when needed. <p> + +<code>do_update</code> is also changed, because Waste is completely region-based (as opposed to rect-based). +Hence, we erase regions here and we can also return immedeately if there is nothing to update. <p> + +<code>Do_postresize</code> is new: because Waste uses accessor functions we can now modify the viewRect from +Python, which is impossible in the Python TextEdit interface, and hence we can implement resize. The +<code>do_key</code> and <code>do_contentclick</code> methods have also seen minor changes, because the +corresponding waste routines need a bit more information than their TextEdit counterparts. The Cut/copy/paste +code is simplified, because Waste uses the normal desktop scrap. <p> + +Implementing undo is a wonder of simplicity: Waste handles all the details for us. Also, the new +<code>can_paste</code> method (which controls greying out of the paste menu entry) is an improvement +over what <code>ped</code> did: in ped it was possible that paste was enabled but that the data on the +scrap was incompatible with TextEdit. No more such problems here. <p> + +<hr> +That is all for now. At some point in the future I will extend this editor to incorporate multiple fonts and +pointsizes, pictures and possibly drag-and-drop editing but I will first have to write the code for it. +For now you will have to go back to the <A HREF="index.html">index</A> to pick another example. |
