Have you tried to set and use some flags?

You can have them stored in a text file for reference and using them you can take a note of these customised settings.

But the screen will be just like that?

Can you give me a example of how can I use this?

Thanks for the reply!!!

Hello Rafael

I'm sorry but this is a symbian class not implemented in PyS60
You need to program yourself an extension in C++ ...

Volume setting and cache widget will be great use for everybody ...

The screen will not be like as you have shown in the attachment as its not possible in pys60 with current UI extensions. If you want to implement such UI, you will have to work out on your own extensions as Cyke64 mentioned.

Otherwise if you just want the seetings, you could have an options menu created with sub menus for the different settings.

Options->Max Seach Results->5

Hopefuly helps

Thanks for the replies!

so, I'm trying to use the form.

Some questions about it:

1- My application body is a text (tx), how can I make the form only appear when I select settings on the menu? and when the right soft key is pressed on the form screen, it would return to the main screen. It's that possible?

2- How to define a function of a option in the form? Ex:

def forming():


 ls = [u'Eight', u'Nine', u'Ten']

 data = [(u'Aaa','combo', (ls,0))]

How to define a function for Eight, Nine and Ten?

3- In axyz module, when I use axyz.connect(read), it's possible to use more than one argument? Ex:

axyz.connect(read,read2,read3)

Thanks!

[Rafael T.]

Forget the axyz thing.

What I really want to know is how can I update a value when certain option is selected in the form

e.g.:

def forming():


 ls = [u'Eight', u'Nine', u'Ten']

 data = [(u'Aaa','combo', (ls,0))]

 flags = appuifw.FFormDoubleSpaced

 f = appuifw.Form(data, flags)

 f.execute()

#How can I update a value if Eight, Nine or Ten is selected?

#e.g.: i = (20,40) 

#When Nine is selected the value would be updated: i = (60,80)

Thanks!

Didn't setting and resetting flags work for you?

say i = (20,40) in beginning

have a flag,

flag=0

When 9 is selected set the flag as 1

flag=1

Then when you implement or use value of i check the flag

if (flag==1):
    i = (60,80)
else: #else is optional here, as i is initialized at the start
    i = (20,40)

Thus we can say Nine was selected.

Hopefully helps,

So, it should be like this?

i = (80,90)

def forming():


 ls = [u'Eight', u'Nine', u'Ten']

 data = [(u'Aaa','combo', (ls,0))]

 flags = appuifw.FFormDoubleSpaced

 f = appuifw.Form(data, flags)

 f.execute()

     if (ls==1):
       
       i = (100,110)

I tried this, but it doesn't work. What to do???

Thanks!!!

Well I think you can implement it better with a list box like this

L = [u'Eight', u'Nine', u'Ten'u'Exit']

index = appuifw.selection_list(choices=L , search_field=1)

if index == 0:
    i = (60,80)
if index == 1:
    i = (20,40)
if index == 2:
    i = (100,120)
if index == 3:
   i = (50,90)

The use of flag gets eliminated here due to using index as a flag.

Hopefully helps.

Please tell how it doesn't work... What did you expect and what did you get.

Is the problem getting the user selection? Did you implement "save_hook" or try using "the subscript notation f[i]" to check the values?

Wondering,

No, I didn't try this options... I'm new to Python ... can you give me a example of how I should use this?

Unfortunately, in my case I really have to use the form, the listbox wouldn't be good.

But anyway, thanks for all the replies.

Hope JOM can give me an example of the use of save_hook and the subscription notation!!!


BR

Rafael.

Hope JOM can give me an example of the use of save_hook

Sorry, never used myself But since I was interested in the question and the other replies were pointing close enough to right direction, I did some basic RTFM. Nothing special...

Here's code sample from book: "Mobile Python" by Jürgen Scheible and Ville Tuulos. Recommended, contains an amazing amount of info for such a thin book (300+ pages)! I have bought too many 600+ page book with only tenth of content.
