how to use blocking MessgeBox in kivy

问题

I have a Kivy application.

From the main GUI, I want to open a new message box and force the main GUI to await the result of an action box interaction.

I saw that Qt4 message box has support for this blocking call type, but I haven't found the equivalent functionality in Kivy. Does such a feature exist?

回答1:

The Popup widget is used to create modal popups. By default, the popup will cover the whole “parent” window. When you are creating a popup, you must at a minimum set a Popup.title and a Popup.content widget.

modal means blocking :)

Here is a code snippet which does the job though it is actually not really blocking. You need to define one or two alternatives to jump to in order to continue working with the program. Thats the pseudo-blocking trick.

import kivy
from kivy.uix.popup import Popup
from kivy.uix.button import Button
from kivy.uix.gridlayout import GridLayout
from kivy.uix.boxlayout import BoxLayout
from kivy.uix.label import Label
from kivy.app import App

class MessageBoxApp(App):

    def build(self):
        return Button(text='Press for MessageBox!', on_press=self.callpopup)

    def callpopup(self, event):
        dlg = MessageBox(self, titleheader="Title Header", message="Any Message", 
        options={"YES": "printyes()", "NO": "printno()", "CANCEL": ""})
        print "Messagebox shows as kivy popup and we wait for the user action"

    def printyes(self):
        # routine for going yes
        print "You chose the Yes routine"

    def printno(self):
        # routine for going no
        print "You chose the No routine"

class MessageBox(MessageBoxApp):
    def __init__(self, parent, titleheader="Title", message="Message", options={"OK": ""}, size=(400, 400)):

        def popup_callback(instance):
            "callback for button press"
            self.retvalue = instance.text
            self.popup.dismiss()

        self.parent = parent
        self.retvalue = None
        self.titleheader = titleheader
        self.message = message
        self.options = options
        self.size = size
        box = GridLayout(orientation='vertical', cols=1)
        box.add_widget(Label(text=self.message, font_size=16))
        b_list =  []
        buttonbox = BoxLayout(orientation='horizontal')
        for b in self.options:
            b_list.append(Button(text=b, size_hint=(1,.35), font_size=20))
            b_list[-1].bind(on_press=popup_callback)
            buttonbox.add_widget(b_list[-1])
        box.add_widget(buttonbox)
        self.popup = Popup(title=titleheader, content=box, size_hint=(None, None), size=self.size)
        self.popup.open()
        self.popup.bind(on_dismiss=self.OnClose)

    def OnClose(self, event):
        self.popup.unbind(on_dismiss=self.OnClose)
        self.popup.dismiss()
        if self.retvalue != None and self.options[self.retvalue] != "":
            command = "self.parent."+self.options[self.retvalue]
            exec command

if __name__ == '__main__':
    MessageBoxApp().run()
