I have a kivy file with several widgets, one of them is a switch.
The problem is that wherever I press on the screen, it flips the switch.
I have 2 other widgets - one of them is a check-box and another is radio-buttons, which also have some problems and I think they are occuring because of the switch.
The problem is that in order to press them I need to press on a different part of the screen and not on the widget itself.
Any help would be appreciated.
UPDATE
I am using Windows only for development.
You probably have a switch that is larger than you expect. From the documentation of the switch: "The entire widget is active, not just the part with graphics. As long as you swipe over the widget’s bounding box, it will work." I would try changing the background of the switch to see how big it really is.

I have had this problem for ages now with many different projects now, so I really want to find out how to fix it. For example, in one of my projects, I created a level editor for a game. The level editor had the option to save and load different levels from a file using tkinter.filedialog.
Now after I select the file, the game will still work, but the 'X' close button doesn't work anymore, and I can't move the window.
The game itself works as usual, and I can still interact with everything inside of the window, but I can't move or close the window.
Thanks in advance.
Ok. I figured this one out. The problem went away when I called the tkinter functions from a key press, not a mouse press.
I am using a code designed by another person in MAC OS. I am using Windows instead and have slightly modified it, but the problem comes when using the GUI that is created.
I have already dealt with a similar issue with a slider. Once I pressed the slider, I couldn´t release it or press another button. I was forced to quit the GUI and start again. I solved it by changing the event command from EVT_COMMAND_SCROLL to EVT_COMMAND_SCROLL_THUMBTRACK. However I did not understand why it worked in MAC OS and does not work in Windows.
Now, I want to close the GUI with the typical cross inside the red button in the right corner of the window. I can do it if it is the first order I do in the GUI. If I first press any button or slider, the exit button does not work.
It made me consider if a major problem is hidden in the code which I am not seeing. I am new at wxPython, which is the module used in the code.
I just ask for your opinion and hope it is a basic error.
Thanks very much
I built a small GUI using Tkinter. The GUI features, among some other elements, three buttons. These buttons serve to open a dystem dialog and select certain data-files etc. One of the three buttons is a 'Go' button that runs the underlying data-processing.
When running the .py script the GUI works fine. However, after creating a developer app in alias mode using Py2App the buttons have become invisible! They're still there and usable, but invisible until interacted with.
How can I prevent this from happening?
I was stuck in your exact situation for quite some time. When I ran my tkinter script, it worked perfectly and all the buttons showed up, but once I packaged it, the buttons stopped showing up (They were still there but you couldn't see them). After a long time of trying random things, I found out how to make the buttons and their text show up again. Simply resize the window. Even a difference of 1 or 2 pixels does the trick. I have not yet found a way to PREVENT this issue, but at least this makes the app look right.
Please reply if you figure out a solution to prevent this!
Good Luck!
In my python GTK project, I have a popup menu which pop-ups while typing in a particular text area. But, when type a letter popup menu get the focus and I can't type anymore in the text area until I click on the text area and grab the focus manually. I want to keep the focus to the text area as I type regularly while popup menu comes. Can anyone give tell me a way to do this. I tried widget.grab_focus() method. But it didn't solve my problem.
Also I want to know how to set the position of the popup menu. It always appears near by mouse pointer. I want it to appear near by my application.
Thanks all.
I ran into the same problem using the C API, the solution was to invoke the following functions, I presume they're approximately similar to the python equivalents:
gdk_pointer_ungrab(GDK_CURRENT_TIME);
gdk_keyboard_ungrab(GDK_CURRENT_TIME);
gtk_grab_remove(menu);
I need to add a popup dialog box on my GUI.
So, when ever I hover my mouse over a label, it should be able to show a popup( Like the type we get while hovering over a file in windows).
It should also disappear as soon i move away the mouse.
To start with, I am not even sure which module or class to use. I tried menu, but the results are not what i expected.
I also tried to learn tkCommonDialog, but couldn't understand it properly.
Please Advice!
The little popup window is called a tooltip.

Take a look at the Balloon widget in the Tix package. I think it is just what you are looking for.
