forms2.py

We add a third button that pops up another non-modal form. Buttons are now laid out horizontally.

from lino.forms import Form

class PrivacyForm(Form):
    
    """\

(imagine our privacy statement here)

Note that this form is not modal,
so you don't need to close it if you want to continue registering.
"""
    
    title = "Privacy statement"
    
    def layout(self,panel):
        panel.okButton()
        
class MyForm(Form):
    
    title = "The First Lino Form"

    def layout(self,panel):
    
        panel.label("""\
Please enter your personal data.
Don't worry about your privacy.
You can trust us.
    """)
        self.firstName = panel.entry(label="First name")
        self.name = panel.entry(label="Name")
        panel.formButton(PrivacyForm())
        panel.okButton()
        panel.cancelButton()

    def ok(self):
        if not self.firstName.getValue():
            self.notice("First name is mandatory")
            return
        if not self.name.getValue():
            self.notice("Name is mandatory")
            return
        self.message(
            "Hello %s %s. Thank you for registering.",
            self.firstName.getValue(),
            self.name.getValue())
        self.close()
        
    def cancel(self):
        if self.confirm("This will end our relation. Are you sure?"):
            self.close()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    MyForm().main()

• Setting buttons on a Panel as default button (code changes 21.01.05) — lino.forms currently responds to the form's default button only if the buttons are on the main panel (not on a horizontal buttonPanel). I didn't yet figure out how to achieve this in wxPython. more
• first lino.forms examples did work (code changes 15.01.05) — I have split the forms example into 3 parts (forms1.py, forms2.py and forms3.py) And the 2 first *did* work. But then I made some change and now the sizers are again messed up. It's true that wxPython can be frustrating! more
