Re: dialog entry problems

[pumpkinhead]

I can confirm that (PsychoPy 1.75.01, Ubuntu 12.10).
The coder component is much better now after some recent changes (Thanks!!!). But the "customize everything" box in the rating scale component got worse. It is barely one pixel you can click on to get a cursor inside the box (then you have to ctrl-A everything into an external editor to make changes).

I'm running PsychoPy 1.75.01 on a 64 bit Ubuntu 12.04 platform.  I've noticed that on the dialogs in Code Builder that the spacing is not optimal or able to be changed. I've attached 2 pngs of a text dialog and a ratings-advanced settings dialog. Note that in the text dialog I can only see one line at a time.  In the ratings-advanced settings dialog, the "customize_everything" is very small and unreadable. Changing the window size does not change the size in either dialog.  How can I fix this?

Thanks for the bug report, and for the confirmation. Its interesting that the code component does work -- that suggests a way to fix the text and customize_everything input boxes.

To try this:

1. look for builder.py in psychopy/app/builder/ and open in a text editor / IDE (such as the Coder)

2. look for line ~1649 "if label in ['text', 'customize_everything', 'Text']:"

3. just below that line, replace these three lines

    self.valueCtrl = wx.TextCtrl(parent,-1,unicode(param.val),

        style=wx.TE_MULTILINE,

        size=wx.Size(self.valueWidth,-1))

with these (paying attention to keep the proper indentation:

    self.valueCtrl = wx.stc.StyledTextCtrl(parent,-1, 

        style=wx.TE_MULTILINE,

        size=wx.Size(self.valueWidth,-1))

    if len(param.val):

        self.valueCtrl.AddText(unicode(param.val))

This seems to work for me on a mac, hopefully will on linux too. If it works, it should fix both the text and customize_everything issue at the same time.

Great. That worked!
Now there are 4 lines visible.
(there is no syntax highlighting... but maybe there is no need for that as it is only scale variables and no real code)
Thanks!

[Jeremy Gray]

cool. I agree that there's no need for syntax highlighting (definitely not for text components). I'll add a fix, and hopefully it will make it into the next aug-update.

Hmmm.  Sorry, but I can't find that line. I've attached a png of buider.py ranging from 1628-1661.  This is the file psychopy/app/builder/builder.py  -  Do I have the wrong file or?

[drkitty]

Sorry, here's the png

[drkitty]

OK.  I've found it using Vi editor - it appears to be line 1333.  Will try it now.

[Jeremy Gray]

that's the right file. use the text editor's "find" feature (or equivalent) to search for "customize_everything" (without the quotes) -- I think there's only one place in the whole file.

Arrrgggg.  No luck.  I'm attaching the changed buider.py code. Maybe I screwed up the indentation?

[Jeremy Gray]

yes, the indentation is off. "if label == 'text': self.valueCtrl.SetFocus()" needs to be indented more (4 more spaces)

I'm feeling really stupid.  I've indented the line (see attached png) and I still have the spacing issue in Builder. I've just been quitting and restarting PsychoPy, is there anything else I need to do to get this code change to work?
