Python Forum

I have the initial layout built. I will have to rebuild the menu as a subclass app definition as I was advised in my other thread to get key bind input events to work.

The goal is to have the menu initially with no highlighted items. as you activate a column to make a selection the header for that section highlights and you then highlight an option. You use the arrow keys to make your selections. As you move the arrow key left or right you move to a different column heading. The up and down keys make the selection highlight.

I just need help on the vernacular and what type of options to use. I can figure out the rest once I got something to chew on.

This is to replace a flash software piece for a movie replica fascimile for the costuming group I am in.

For reference this is the other thread:

As always this is an awesome forum and everyone on it is an awesome help!

Is this a tkinter problem or pygame?
Is it necessary to try mixing tkinter and pygame together because I don't think they play together nicely?

I was meshing together anything I could find to make things work. I ended up settling on nothing but TKINTER.

pygame did not have a good menu or grid system built in. The only thing pygame has is a border option that tkinter does not have. But I may be able to side step that by using a background with the border and then overlaying the button grid arrays on top of it using only TKINTER.

I am only interested in using tkinter for the button actions as that is the only way I can get the buttons to layout like I am wanting.

Off hand the only methodology I can think of is to assign a numerical weight to each directional key press and then the value of x which the keypresses adjust equals a set look of the menu screen. The menu would appear to change with each keypress but you are really changing a mathematical value that sets the entire screens look. I just need to test the idea to even see if it is viable or not.

I am not aware of any other modules or libraries in python I can use to power button driven menu interface. If there are do please let me know so that I can do further research. With what almost a million individual libraries, it is quite possible there exists one written specifically for what I need that I am unaware of.

I used deque to group buttons together so you can rotate the active button, and then another deque to contain the header button and the deque groups.
There is a function start_with_first_selected that is set to False to get the behaviour you asked for of having nothing shown as selected, to do this it means the last button of each group is the active one but not yet shown until you rotate that group for the first time.
I think I prefer start_with_first_selected set to True so the first item of each group is active to begin with.

You will probably want to play around with the formatting of the headers to make them look different from the selections.

I commented out all pygame stuff.

(Apr-14-2021, 06:57 PM)Yoriz Wrote: [ -> ]I used deque to group buttons together so you can rotate the active button, and then another deque to contain the header button and the deque groups.
There is a function start_with_first_selected that is set to False to get the behaviour you asked for of having nothing shown as selected, to do this it means the last button of each group is the active one but not yet shown until you rotate that group for the first time.
I think I prefer start_with_first_selected set to True so the first item of each group is active to begin with.

You will probably want to play around with the formatting of the headers to make them look different from the selections.

I commented out all pygame stuff.

Thanks! I will give that a go this weekend. Your help is greatly appreciated. The more I do this stuff the more I learn.

This works exactly the way I wanted so thanks there. I will just need to tweak the code to work with my splash screen setup but that is no big deal. I will post the code once I get that hashed out.

Thanks a bunch for the help. The grouping took me a bit to wrap my head around as programming is something I can do but I would not say it is something that comes easily or that I am good at. But I will bulldog through the problem and force the issue to a conclusion, even if I annoy some folks in the process, unfortunately.

I have added sound to the menu clicks.
