Hi!
I'm trying to write a program where you can flip a switch, and it changes the color of the switch flipped. I made a GUI with three switches, and put the action as switch, but I don't know what code to put in the defined method switch to change the switches color once pressed.
Thanks!
import ui
def switch (sender):
print "hi"
ui.load_view("tic tac toe.pyui").present("sheet")
Gack. I can't remember the Markdown for entering code. And I can't figure out how to delete until I do.
I'm not sure you can change a switch color but if you can it probably uses the view attribute tint_color. Basically you want to use sender.enabled to make the decision and probably set sender.tint_color to set the color. Everything inherits view so the full doc for any gadget is what is listed plus what is in class view.
tint_color has an underscore in it that Markdown is supressing. Look in the doc for view class for correct spelling. I hope my poor Markdown skills aren't making this too confusing.
Thank you!
I switched it from 3 switches to three buttons, and re-wrote the code as this:
# coding: utf-8
import speech
import ui
view = ui.View()
def switch (sender):
speech.say("hello")
ui.View().tint_color = 1.00, 0.00, 0.00
ui.load_view("tic tac toe.pyui").present("sheet")
Is that what you meant, because nothing happened.
Try:
def switch(sender):
speech.say('Hello, ' + sender.name)
sender.tint_color = 1.00, 0.00, 0.00
Make sure that in your .pyui file the button actions are set to switch.
An example...
import ui
view = ui.View()
red = ui.Switch(name='Red')
green = ui.Switch(name='Green')
blue = ui.Switch(name='Blue')
red.tint_color = (1, 0, 0)
green.tint_color = (0, 1, 0)
blue.tint_color = (0, 0, 1)
view.present('sheet')
red.center = green.center = blue.center = view.center
red.y -= 100
green.y -= 60
blue.y -= 20
view.add_subview(red)
view.add_subview(green)
view.add_subview(blue)
That did it! Thanks :-)
