Hi all. I just downloaded and installed the new Office suite from MS
with their new 'ribbon' based UI. I think it's pretty cool and AFT*
for a new UI paradigm. I hope it sticks.
Anyway, I'm wondering how to implement a gui like this with Python. I
don't think wx or qt or gtk or tkinter support this sort of fading and
glowing type of effects... or do they? I played with wx way back in
2000 or so (C++ version), and it certainly didn't have any of that. I
don't know if this stuff is now built into XP, or if it's specialized
libraries only accessible to MS for their purposes. Can a python gui
framework be redirected to use the new gui? Or is this something that
has to be manually emulated from a low-level if python is to make use
of it? What about under linux?
So I'm not sure if this is a Python question, a xxx-Python question
(where xxx is the widget toolkit of choice), or a windows API type of
question.
How does one make fancy fading guis with python? (cross-platform if
possible)
thanks

Unless I'm missing something (I haven't examined it exhaustively), everything
therein seems quite easily doable using python and Qt. I'd check it out.

I haven't seen their new Office suit (apart form a few screenshots).
Judging from the past, the code is probably statically linked to MS
Office. Many of the previous iterations of MS Office did introduce
their own look and feels, effects and widgets. Third party Windows
developers soon followed suit reimplementing the widgets. Delphi
community for example focuses a lot on UI and UI effects (Python
community does not). VCL libraries can be compiled to ActiveX
components and you should then be able to use them from Python, at
least on Windows. Or maybe someone will make a .NET assembly and you
will be able to drive it from IronPython or Python for .NET. If you are
lucky, it may even be cross-platform via Mono.
So I'm not sure if this is a Python question, a xxx-Python question (where xxx is the widget toolkit of choice), or a windows API type of question.
This is NOT a Python specific issue. It is a widget library and FFI
(Foreign Function Interface) issue. If another language can get at the
functionality, so can Python. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

Hey all,
I just realized you can very easily implement a sequence grouping function
using Python 2.3's fancy slicing support:
def group(values, size):
return map(None, * for i in range(size)])
>>> group(range(20), 4)

Hi all,
I'm developing a VOIP application in wince 5.0 which supports rich
features like video conferencing, media player, FM radio, etc. I found
there is a VOIP template called "TUI" and I may base it to support my
fancy UI. But it will spend me a lot of time to modify TUI because I'm
not familiar with "ATL" or MFC.
After surfing MSDN online, I found Visual C# in VS2005 may be a good
choice to design a fancy UI because it can create a...

I released this a while ago but did some work recently to fix some bugs
so I thought I may as well post it here. To quickly summarise:
In-line syntax highlighting
Auto complete with suggestions as you type
Pastebin stuff, save to file
"Rewind" feature to jump back a line if you mess up (don't ask how it
works, please ;)

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp
Here is the code in...

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

I'm a network technician in training and I need your help.
I am currently learning how to create and manage the different types of VPNs and I have a question about LAN-to-LAN VPNs.
The last exercise I practiced was to create a LAN-to-LAN VPN between two Pfsense firewalls, by using IPSEC protocols.
I succeeded, with both firewalls in the same network. But I'm wondering if it's possible to do the same thing, with 2 Pfsense firewalls...
