several questions about Glade & pygtk

1. Is it possible to draw a border line around a table and/or a cell
2. Is it possible to draw a color to the background of a label.
2bis If not, is there an other element that can have background colors
3 How can I set the default height and width from a window(toplevel).
I tried to use default height and default width
(sounds quit logic) but the window always stays in the same
small format

I hope someone knows the answer at one of these questions.

I hope you have luck finding someone who actually uses pygtk. I run on a Windows platform and pygtk is a bear to install.
May 'the Google' be with you!

I was using pygtk, glade, and gladegen for a short time and I really wasn't impressed. I cant help with your problem but I may suggest an alternative of wxGlade. With wxGlade it will turn the gui you create right in to source code. http://wxglade.sourceforge.net/

Okay, it's good someone tells me at this point pygtk isn't that usefull,
so wxpython is better supported on both windows and linux?

I will give it a try

I not so sure I would say pygtk isn't useful. I just prefer wxPython. Also both tool kits seem to be well supported on my Debian Linux box. Not so sure about Windows.

Okay I started using wxGlade which is better as Glade,
but now I have one problem, I can't find a way to hide my Frame and show an other frame.
Python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. class Main(wx.Frame):
  2.     def __init__(self, *args, **kwds):
  3.         # begin wxGlade: Main.__init__
  4.         kwds["style"] = wx.DEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE
  5.         wx.Frame.__init__(self, *args, **kwds)
  6.         self.p1name = wx.StaticText(self, -1, "Player 1 Name:", style=wx.ALIGN_CENTRE)
  7.         self.p1entry = wx.TextCtrl(self, -1, "")
  8.         self.p2name = wx.StaticText(self, -1, "Player 2 Name:", style=wx.ALIGN_CENTRE)
  9.         self.p2entry = wx.TextCtrl(self, -1, "")
  10.         self.moneystart = wx.StaticText(self, -1, "Money:", style=wx.ALIGN_CENTRE)
  11.         self.moneyentry = wx.TextCtrl(self, -1, "")
  12.         self.newgamebutton = wx.Button(self, -1, "start new game")
  13.         self.newgameinfo = wx.StaticText(self, -1, "Money: the ammount of\n money each player gets\n at the start")
  14.  
  15.         # Menu Bar
  16.         self.menubar = wx.MenuBar()
  17.         wxglade_tmp_menu = wx.Menu()
  18.         wxglade_tmp_menu.Append(wx.NewId(), "New", "", wx.ITEM_NORMAL)
  19.         wxglade_tmp_menu.Append(wx.NewId(), "open", "", wx.ITEM_NORMAL)
  20.         self.menubar.Append(wxglade_tmp_menu, "File")
  21.         wxglade_tmp_menu = wx.Menu()
  22.         self.menubar.Append(wxglade_tmp_menu, "Help")
  23.         self.SetMenuBar(self.menubar)
  24.         # Menu Bar end
  25.  
  26.         self.__set_properties()
  27.         self.__do_layout()
  28.  
  29.         self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.new_game, self.newgamebutton)
  30.         self.Bind(wx.EVT_MENU, self.new_game, id=-1)
  31.         # end wxGlade
  32.  
  33.     def __set_properties(self):
  34.         # begin wxGlade: Main.__set_properties
  35.         self.SetTitle("frame_1")
  36.         # end wxGlade
  37.  
  38.     def __do_layout(self):
  39.         # begin wxGlade: Main.__do_layout
  40.         sizer_1 = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
  41.         grid_sizer_1 = wx.GridSizer(4, 2, 0, 0)
  42.         grid_sizer_1.Add(self.p1name, 0, wx.ALIGN_CENTER_HORIZONTAL|wx.ALIGN_CENTER_VERTICAL|wx.ADJUST_MINSIZE, 0)
  43.         grid_sizer_1.Add(self.p1entry, 0, wx.ALIGN_CENTER_HORIZONTAL|wx.ALIGN_CENTER_VERTICAL|wx.ADJUST_MINSIZE, 0)
  44.         grid_sizer_1.Add(self.p2name, 0, wx.ALIGN_CENTER_HORIZONTAL|wx.ALIGN_CENTER_VERTICAL|wx.ADJUST_MINSIZE, 0)
  45.         grid_sizer_1.Add(self.p2entry, 0, wx.ALIGN_CENTER_HORIZONTAL|wx.ALIGN_CENTER_VERTICAL|wx.ADJUST_MINSIZE, 0)
  46.         grid_sizer_1.Add(self.moneystart, 0, wx.ALIGN_CENTER_HORIZONTAL|wx.ALIGN_CENTER_VERTICAL|wx.ADJUST_MINSIZE, 0)
  47.         grid_sizer_1.Add(self.moneyentry, 0, wx.ALIGN_CENTER_HORIZONTAL|wx.ALIGN_CENTER_VERTICAL|wx.ADJUST_MINSIZE, 0)
  48.         grid_sizer_1.Add(self.newgamebutton, 0, wx.ALIGN_CENTER_HORIZONTAL|wx.ALIGN_CENTER_VERTICAL|wx.ADJUST_MINSIZE, 0)
  49.         grid_sizer_1.Add(self.newgameinfo, 0, wx.ALIGN_CENTER_HORIZONTAL|wx.ALIGN_CENTER_VERTICAL|wx.ADJUST_MINSIZE, 0)
  50.         sizer_1.Add(grid_sizer_1, 1, wx.EXPAND, 0)
  51.         self.SetSizer(sizer_1)
  52.         sizer_1.Fit(self)
  53.         self.Layout()
  54.         # end wxGlade
  55.  
  56.     def new_game(self, event): # wxGlade: Main.<event_handler>
  57.         wx.Frame("frame_2").Show(True)

I try to show a frame in the function new_game,
but I can't fin a way I tried self.frame_2.Show, etc... but it seems that wxglade does not declare self.frame_1 = wx.Frame(...) ; self.frame_2 = wx.Frame(...)

PS: the hierarchy in wxglade:
Application
- frame_1(Main)
> ....
> ....
- frame_2(Main)
> ...

Okay I made the second frame an other class and I was able to show the second Frame as followed:
Python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. def new_game(self, event): # wxGlade: Main.<event_handler>
  2. 	Main(self,-1).Show(False)
  3.         Game(self,-1).Show(True)

the Game window shows, but the Main window does not hide.

Yeah, I wanted to find it quickly, but on the internet there wasn't much help.
So I kept doing things until I finally found it
