with kytten...

Comment by PN on Thu, 20 Aug 2009

Richard,

Coming from wxPython, a few items I am currently using that I did not see on the quick list of controls.

o Line separator in the form.

o Validator coding for text input so I can insure only decimal numbers are entered (or any other combinations, say allow digits, the '.' character, and the navigation keys (home/end/insert/delete/backspace) and not allow space, etc. etc.

o All that crazy sizer and positioning combinations to get good control of how the form layout grows and shrinks with user sizing.

o Font control across multiple platforms, specifying a framework font type and each platform having the best native font chosen and scaled appropriately.

Should I still wait until a future version of kytten to jump in and try and convert a simple single frame app to the kytten framework?

Cheers,
PN

Ah. Looking back through the blog history looks like you have embedded kytten but not released your with gui code yet.

*bump* hint hint...

Cheers,
PN

The gui widgets list is far from complete (and that includes sizers).

A release may happen some day soon. I'm a bit busy.

Oh and I can't speak for kytten - I'm not the developer, I'm just using it.
