Change orientation of boxlayout to vertical in kv file

[Rick Smith]

Hello All:

I have the following kv file with 3 tabs one has a boxlayout with some labels and textinputs, the orientation appears to be horizontal, I want to change it to vertical so I did this

BoxLayout

          orientation:'vertical'

This is thowing
     if current_property[:3] == 'on_':
 TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable

How can I change the orientation?

Thanks

Using win10 and Python3.7 64bit

I’m  guessing there is an issue not related to orientation.

You are missing the colon after BoxLayout.

 

If you need more assistance, post a runnable example.

Eliot:

Thanks I added the colon, no go here is what I am using

from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.boxlayout import BoxLayout
from kivy.uix.label import Label
from kivy.uix.button import Button
from kivy.uix.textinput import TextInput
from kivy.uix.tabbedpanel import TabbedPanel
from kivy.lang import Builder
Builder.load_string("""

<PanelTest>:
    size_hint: .5, .5
    pos_hint: {'center_x': .5, 'center_y': .5}
    do_default_tab: False

    TabbedPanelItem:
        text: '123'
        BoxLayout:
                orientation: 'vertical'
            Label:
                text: 'First Name:'
            TextInput:
            Label:
                text: 'Last Name:'
            TextInput:
    TabbedPanelItem:
        text: 'Two'
        BoxLayout:
            Label:
                text: 'Second tab content'
            Button:
                text: 'A button'
    TabbedPanelItem:
        text: 'Three'
        RstDocument:
            text:
                '\\n'.join(("Hello", "-----------",
                "You are in the third tab."))

""")
class PanelTest(TabbedPanel):
    pass
class MyPanelApp(App):
    def build(self):
        return PanelTest()
if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = MyPanelApp()
    app.run()

The line with orientation was not properly indented.

 

 

from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.boxlayout import BoxLayout
from kivy.uix.label import Label
from kivy.uix.button import Button
from kivy.uix.textinput import TextInput
from kivy.uix.tabbedpanel import TabbedPanel
from kivy.lang import Builder
Builder.load_string(

"""

<PanelTest>:
    size_hint: .5, .5
    pos_hint: {'center_x': .5, 'center_y': .5}
    do_default_tab: False

    TabbedPanelItem:
        text: '123'
        BoxLayout:

            orientation: 'vertical'  # This was not properly indented,  tab perhaps?

\\n'.join(("Hello", "-----------",

)
