Custom GUI and PyVCP was created by sdfzz
Hi all,
I have a custom GUI and PyVCP panel. I can run them in two separate windows, and they work great.
However, I want to embed the PyVCP panel into my GUI. I know this can be done for AXIS GUI (like: linuxcnc.org/docs/html/hal/images/gs2_panel.png).
But, when I tried it on my GUI (though ini and hal files) the PyVCP panel does not show up.
I can include my PyVCP to AXIS GUI without any problem...
Is there a way to include a PyVCP panel to a custom GUI?
Any help will be appreciated
Regards,
Steve

Steve,
what custom GUI do you use?
Just check the code of gscreen or gmoccapy to see, how we do include panel.

AXIS uses the same widget toolkit as pyVCP (so can natively embedded)
I would bet your custom GUI is GTK based.
Unfortunately IFAIK pyVCP cannot be embedded into GTK based screens.
gladeVCP panels can be embedded.
can you build your pyVCP panel with gladeVCP?

Hi, Chris, Norbert,
Thank you for replies. Indeed, my GUI is GTK-based, so I guess it cannot include pyVCP panel...
I will work out a way to run my CNC without using pyVCP..

Once you have tried GladeVC you probably won't want to use PyVCP.

i have a pyvcp custom panel (for huanyang vfd) to the right side of axis gui.
How can move this pyvcp panel to an axis tab like dro tab/ngcgui tabs ?

You could try doing the same thing:
www.linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gui/gladevcp....t_to_dro_and_preview
The Command would be something like "halcmd loadusr pyvcp -c mypanel mypanel.xml"
I don't know if it works.

Well, it's a start. Clearly you need a different "command". I don't actually know if this will _ever_ work, but there might be other command-line parameters in the PyVCP docs that give further clues.
