Text box

Aug 11th, 2009

Hello!

I have a little problem. I have to print a table (four columns from an Excel file) in a text box. I took a string and I kept appending all the cells from the file that interested me and I used the textbox provided by easygui.

 Help with Code Tags 
 Python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
textbox(msg='', title=' ', text='', codebox=0)
textbox(msg='', title=' ', text='', codebox=0)

Here are my problems:

1.I want to format the text to look like one piece. The text looks like this:

30      1.5482      314.7      487.21854

and I want it to be more nicely arranged (every line to be in it`s place). How can I do that?

2. Is there any way to convert it to read only? Normally the user is able to modify the text but I want it to be read only.

I`m interested if this things are possible using the textbox provided by easygui or I have to modify it and use something else (tkinter etc.).
Thanks!

Set up a formatted string before you send it to the Textbox. Here is an example:

# example to set up a table formatted string
 
import math
 
# set up the format strings (use - for left justified)
header  = "%-12s %-12s %-12s \n"
line_fs = "%-12f %-12.4f %-12.4f \n"
 
table = ''
table += (header % ('radians', 'sine', 'cosine'))
for x in range(0, 11):
    rad = math.radians(x)
    table += (line_fs % (rad, math.sin(rad), math.cos(rad)))
 
print(table)
 
"""my output (use a fixed font like Courier) -->

2. Is there any way to convert it to read only? Normally the user is able to modify the text but I want it to be read only.

Use the codebox
"Display some text in a monospaced font, with no line wrapping.
This function is suitable for displaying code and text that is
formatted using spaces.

The text parameter should be a string, or a list or tuple of lines to be
displayed in the textbox."
http://easygui.sourceforge.net/curre....html#-codebox

So you can send a list of lines to be printed. Sweet.
