My custom designed GUI

How did you force the glade widgets to be the correct shape and size?

JT

Halo Piet,

where can I find the source code?

Norbert

@ JT - I wrote a scale function so the widgets scales to any screen size. I used transparent event boxes instead of buttons. I had to tweak some of the GladeVCP code so the widgets such as the LED's will have scaled sizes.

@ Norbert and emcPT - I will tweak and clean up my code a bit, as it was done specifically for my machines. I also had to change some of the GladeVCP objects to suite my needs and they no longer work correctly in Axis, such as gremlin. Once done I will post the project.

Is the scale function part of the python file? I'd love to see it...

JT

@ JT - Yes it is in the python file. I am uploading my project. In the bin folder is the python file craftsmancnc. In init it iterates through the screens and through each screens widgets and sets the sizes to scale.

I am sure that my Python can be tidied up a lot as I am a Delphi programmer and this was my first Python project. What a learning curve :silly:

@Norbert and emcPT here is the project - please note that to run this you will need to run the gladevcp_update in the pymodules folder and your original gladevcp files and folders will be renamed to ???-Ver1 so you can reset them after playing around with this.

Oops...look like file is to big to attach....here is a link craftsmancnc.zip

The mach cross over crowd should be happy with that ! nice job.

What specifically did you do to gremlin?

You can also build a similar screen idea (placing gladevcp objects on top of a painted background) with less programming.
It's a pain to place the objects as you can't see the background and if you resize it the objects, they are not scaled right, so there are limitations.

I assume with event boxes for buttons you don't get nice button movements ?
