The default version has a lot more buttons, but it needs to. If you want broad appeal you have to include more stuff.
What may be better for the masses is an easier way to customize what buttons you want. Not everyone can do the customization as is.

I am calling the screen interact right now since it is for my machine Maybe Spartan would be a good fit.

HI Chris,
I have a question , I'm trying to add and extra page to the mode buttons in gscreen industrial "Custom" so I've added extra a new page to "notebook_main"
also a Custom_button

Attachment not found

and I've added the following lines in the handler

Code:

# Display the Custom tab
    def on_Custom_button_clicked(self,widget):
        self.widgets.notebook_main.set_current_page(5)
        self.toggle_modes(widget)

also I've add "Custom_button"to to toggle mode list

Code:

def toggle_modes(self,widget):
        temp = "setup_button","mdi_button","run_button","tooledit_button","system_button","offsetpage_button","Custom_button"
        for i in temp:
            state = False
            if self.widgets[i] == widget: state = True
            self.gscreen.block(i)
            self.widgets[i].set_active(state)
            self.gscreen.unblock(i)

also in

Code:

connect_signals sub

till now every thing looks fine BUT, when I'm trying to add an external tab in the ini

Code:

EMBED_TAB_NAME = Buttons
EMBED_TAB_LOCATION = notebook_main
EMBED_TAB_COMMAND = gladevcp -x {XID} -t Redmond Custom.ui

all the axis DRO's are shown

Attachment not found

but if I change the location to "vcp_box"or other places I have the exact number of axis, where should I look for hiding all extra axis?

Thank you
best regards
Masoun

Could you post your glade and handler files please.
I will look at the problem then.
It's been awhile since working on gscreen so not sure how quick it will be.

Ok the problem is industrial relies on the extra axes widgets being hidden by default. it then shows the one defined in the INI file.
But when you add a tab to that particular tab widget it resets those hidden widgets to now show.
So we must hide them again.

in the handler file ( under the def initialize_widgets(self): method) look for :

Code:

self.widgets["dro_%s1"%i].show()
            self.widgets["dro_%s2"%i].show()
            self.widgets["dro_%s3"%i].show()
            self.widgets["axis_%s"%i].show()
            self.widgets["home_%s"%i].show()

change it to:

Code:

for i in ('x','y','z','a','b','c','u','v','w'):
            if i in self.data.axis_list:
                self.widgets["dro_%s1"%i].show()
                self.widgets["dro_%s2"%i].show()
                self.widgets["dro_%s3"%i].show()
                self.widgets["axis_%s"%i].show()
                self.widgets["home_%s"%i].show()
            else:
                self.widgets["dro_%s1"%i].hide()
                self.widgets["dro_%s2"%i].hide()
                self.widgets["dro_%s3"%i].hide()
                self.widgets["axis_%s"%i].hide()
                self.widgets["home_%s"%i].hide()

Should fix the problem

Excellent.
And kudos for diving into Gscreen modifications!
I'm always happy when someone proves that I didn't waste my time on the project

Hi Chris,
I have a question, regarding the EDITOR in ini file, currently there is no editor specified in it and the screen uses gedit by default ( I presume ), now the problem is the language syntax customisation in it looks deferent if I opened the same file from gedit directly, for example here how looks within linuxcnc

Attachment not found

file opened within linuxcnc, while here:

Attachment not found

how it looks when open by gedit externally

the gedit version is 3.4.1 and I've installed gcode.lang and/or ngc.lang language to it.

Is this screen limitation or can I do something?
