Canvas and key events

[daturach]

Hello

I would like to display some background images in full screen. I have assigned a color to each of the menu entries.
I need to get the menu back using a key. I am using a touch screen (5800).
Could someone show me how I could do that?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi daturach,

You didn´t tell exactly what is not working but I could see that you did not put the global inside redraw handler:

def handle_redraw(rect):
    global img
    global canvas
    if img:
        canvas.blit(img)

In landscape full mode, the menus are not visible on the screen.
As I said, I would like to make them visible using a key.

Is that possible and if yes, could someone tell me how to do this?

Thanks

No, menus are not visible in full screen for touch devices. And we do not have any key, so it is better to think in a strategy using the touch area.

I am thinking about using a toolbar ...
I have installed your scripts (http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.ph...ch_S60_devices ) in the 5th Edition emulator, running Python 1.4.5. I don't get any error messages while running them. However, I am wondering if it is only supposed to work on a mobile phone (not yet installed). For example, I can't move the toolbar.

Question: Which Python version do I have to install or is 1.4.5 ok ?
Thanks

.

I tested only in 1.9.x, since I am using XM 5800. The toolbar does not move by itself. I implemented the moving as a demo feature for touch devices. The toolbar only show images and control them, calling a callback function when some image is selected. Please, see the code to understand how you could implement the moving.

[daturach]

I have updated my emulator from Python 1.4.5 to 1.9.6 and played around with the ToolbarDemo script. Everything seems to work...
I can move, show, hide, etc.

However, the below script does not work anymore.

I can select a color the first time I click on any menu item. If I click a second time, it does not work.

I got the following error:

Python: System error (-50)

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "c:\data\python\stats_skeleton.py", line 26, in sub1 canvas=appuifw.Canvas
(redraw_callback = handle_redraw,event_callback = None)
File "c:\resource\python25\python25.zip\appuifw.py", line 19, in __init__
SymbianError: [Errno - 858993460] Error -858993460

Could someone help?

Thanks
