tabs in menus

[Scolpy]

i try to show tabs when i select the option "tabs", but teh tabs show even i didn't select it.
see this code:

import appuifw
import e32
from graphics import *

# create the callback functions for the application menu and its submenus
def submenu1():
    print ""
    round.set(u'submenu one was selected')
	
def submenu2():
    print ""
    round.set(u'submenu two was selected')
	
def submenu3():
    print ""
    round.set(u'submenu three was selected')
	
def submenu4():
    print ""
    round.set(u'submenu four was selected')

def quit():
    app_lock.signal()
	
	
# define application 1: text app
app1 = appuifw.Text(u'Appliation o-n-e is on')

# define application 2: text app
app2 = appuifw.Text(u'Appliation t-w-o is on')

# define application 3: text app
app3 = appuifw.Text(u'Appliation t-h-r-e-e is on')


def exit_key_handler():
    app_lock.signal()

# create a tab handler that switches the application based on what tab is selected
def handle_tab(index):
    global lb
    if index == 0:
        appuifw.app.body = app1 # switch to application 1
    if index == 1:
        appuifw.app.body = app2 # switch to application 2
    if index == 2:
        appuifw.app.body = app3 # switch to application 3



# create an Active Object
app_lock = e32.Ao_lock()

round = appuifw.Text()
round.set(u'press options')
appuifw.app.screen='normal'
appuifw.app.body = round

# create the application menu including submenus
appuifw.app.menu = [(u"Menu1", ((u"submenu1", submenu1),
                                 (u"submenu2", submenu2))),
                    (u"Menu2", ((u"1", subitem1),
                                    (u"submenu3", subitem3))),
									(u"tabs", handle_tab)]



appuifw.app.exit_key_handler = exit_key_handler

# create the tabs with its names in unicode as a list, include the tab handler
appuifw.app.set_tabs([u"One", u"Two", u"Three"],handle_tab)

# set the title of the script
appuifw.app.title = u'Tabs'

# set app.body to app1 (for start of script)
appuifw.app.body = app1

# create an active object
app_lock = e32.Ao_lock()

# start a scheduler
app_lock.wait()

i think i should to add "IF", but it dont really know how to do that.

help please,

The code you proided gives errors (saying that subitem1 is not defined and as far as I can see neither is subitem3).

Anyway, if you want to display the tabs only after selecting the "tabs" option from the menu, an easy way of doing it would be to set the tabs in a separate function and call that when "tabs" is selected. Here's what I mean:

import appuifw
import e32
from graphics import *

# create the callback functions for the application menu and its submenus
def submenu1():
    print ""
    round.set(u'submenu one was selected')
	
def submenu2():
    print ""
    round.set(u'submenu two was selected')
	
def submenu3():
    print ""
    round.set(u'submenu three was selected')
	
def submenu4():
    print ""
    round.set(u'submenu four was selected')

def quit():
    app_lock.signal()
	
	
# define application 1: text app
app1 = appuifw.Text(u'Appliation o-n-e is on')

# define application 2: text app
app2 = appuifw.Text(u'Appliation t-w-o is on')

# define application 3: text app
app3 = appuifw.Text(u'Appliation t-h-r-e-e is on')


def exit_key_handler():
    app_lock.signal()

def show_tabs():
    # create the tabs with its names in unicode as a list, include the tab handler
    appuifw.app.set_tabs([u"One", u"Two", u"Three"],handle_tab)

    # set the title of the script
    appuifw.app.title = u'Tabs'

    # set app.body to app1 (for start of script)
    appuifw.app.body = app1

# create a tab handler that switches the application based on what tab is selected
def handle_tab(index):
    global lb
    if index == 0:
        appuifw.app.body = app1 # switch to application 1
    if index == 1:
        appuifw.app.body = app2 # switch to application 2
    if index == 2:
        appuifw.app.body = app3 # switch to application 3



# create an Active Object
app_lock = e32.Ao_lock()

round = appuifw.Text()
round.set(u'press options')
appuifw.app.screen='normal'
appuifw.app.body = round

# create the application menu including submenus
appuifw.app.menu = [(u"Menu1", ((u"submenu1", submenu1),
                                (u"submenu2", submenu2))),
                    (u"Menu2", ((u"1", submenu1),

Thank(i see that erorr, but is was 1:00AM and i should to slip )

Please explain it again.

Do you want the menu to not be available? If so, simply set it to an empty list:

appuifw.app.menu=[]

Do you want the "Options" word to not be visible? I think that's possible with the appuifw2 extension.

Yea.
the "menu" & "exit" will be not available when i in "Tabs"(instead of them, will be "Apply" & "Back").

Hi XxXYonIXxX,

I can't quite understand your question. Do you want to show a form/selection list containing application settings and use tabs at same time?

Hi XxXYonIXxX,

BR,

Rafael.

When I entered the menu (in this case left button) and select the "Settings".
Settings will open a separate window will be included Tabs(in this case, "General", "Settings & "Advance").

[Rafael T.]

When I entered the menu (in this case left button) and select the "Settings".
Settings will open a separate window will be included Tabs(in this case, "General", "Settings & "Advance").

And the settings would be listboxes or forms?

Anyway, just rename your variables. For example:

app1 = appuifw.Listbox(labels, handle_list)

Labels will be the variables with your titles and handle_list the function for handling the options.

Resuming: just use them as you would use normally


BR,

Rafael.

[Scolpy]

I would like in listboxes.
But if you pay attention to the code.
When I went into the settings, the screen just stuck (Because settings did not open in a new window).

can you help me in creating code which will open the proper settings in separate window and not get the same window for disrupting the application?

BR,
