This is my Copy&Paste program:
from tkinter import *
import Pmw
class CopyTextWindow(Frame):
def __init__(self):
Frame.__init__(self)
Pmw.initialise()
self.pack(expand=YES, fill=BOTH)
self.master.title("ScrolledText Demo")
self.frame1=Frame(self, bg="White")
self.frame1.pack(expand=YES, fill=BOTH)
self.text1=Pmw.ScrolledText(self, text_width=25, text_height=12, text_wrap=WORD,
hscrollmode="static", vscrollmode="static")
self.text1.pack(side=LEFT, expand=YES, fill=BOTH, padx=5, pady=5)
options = ["Copy", "Paste"]
self.selectedOption = StringVar()
self.menu = Menu(self.frame1, tearoff=0)
for option in options:
self.menu.add_radiobutton( label=option, variable=self.selectedOption,
command=self.ExecuteOption)
self.text1.bind("<Button-3>", self.popUpMenu)
def popUpMenu(self, event):
self.menu.post(event.x_root, event.y_root)
def ExecuteOption(self):
if self.selectedOption.get()=="Copy":
self.CopiedText=self.text1.get(SEL_FIRST, SEL_LAST)
else:
self.text1.settext( self.text1.get()+self.CopiedText)
def main():
CopyTextWindow().mainloop()
if __name__=="__main__":
main()
In this program, I want to make a GUI, that in it you can copy and paste text that you have selected. when you press the right mouse button, a little menu with the Copy and Paste options.
The program opens up, but when I press the right mouse button, no menu appears. Python also doesn't complain with an error.
I need to understand my mistake in this code.
For a reason I ignore, the event doesn't seem to be triggered when the bind is on the Text or on the Frame, but it works when it's on the main window:
from tkinter import *
import Pmw
class CopyTextWindow(Frame):
def __init__(self, master=None):
# I've added a master option to pass to the frame
Frame.__init__(self, master)
Pmw.initialise()
self.pack(expand=YES, fill=BOTH)
self.master.title("ScrolledText Demo")
self.frame1=Frame(self, bg="White")
self.frame1.pack(expand=YES, fill=BOTH)
self.text1=Pmw.ScrolledText(self, text_width=25, text_height=12, text_wrap=WORD,
hscrollmode="static", vscrollmode="static")
self.text1.pack(side=LEFT, expand=YES, fill=BOTH, padx=5, pady=5)
options = ["Copy", "Paste"]
self.selectedOption = StringVar()
self.menu = Menu(self.frame1, tearoff=0)
for option in options:
self.menu.add_radiobutton( label=option, variable=self.selectedOption,
command=self.ExecuteOption)
def popUpMenu(self, event):
print("ok")
self.menu.post(event.x_root, event.y_root)
def ExecuteOption(self):
if self.selectedOption.get()=="Copy":
self.CopiedText=self.text1.get(SEL_FIRST, SEL_LAST)
else:
self.text1.settext( self.text1.get()+self.CopiedText)
def main():
# main window
root = Tk()
ctw = CopyTextWindow(root)
# bind on the main window
root.bind("<Button-3>", ctw.popUpMenu)
root.mainloop()
if __name__=="__main__":
main()
