customGUI 1.0.7

A simple package to create your own GUI.

To get started and create your own GUI, simply write:

from customGUI.form_creator import FormCreator

fc = FormCreator('save.txt')

fc.run()

To add a new icon select the name of the icon from the taskbar on the left. Once selected, the item will appear on the Form (unless the chosen item is a Form). Then any of the icon settings can be modified, including appearance and behaviour. To modify a setting, a correct value must be input. In case a value is incorrect, a message will appear at the bottom with instructions on how to input a correct value. Always press Enter to save a new value, otherwise it won't be remembered.

Each icon must have a unique name, which will be used when using the form later in your application.

To save the Form to be able to use it later, press CTRL+S. It will be saved to the file path specified when creating an object of the FormCreator class (eg.: 'save.txt').

In order to load the form from the save file and use it as a standalone window, the following needs to be written:

from customGUI.form_loader import FormLoader

fl = FormLoader('save.txt')

fl.load()

while True:
    fl.update()

You can access items from the Form by calling fl.objects['name of an item']. This will return the corresponding item (or rather an object of the same class with all parameters copied). You can then modify all parameters as you wish. For example if the object is of the Textbox class, you can change the text parameter, by calling fl.objects['name of the Textbox'].text.

Other possibilities of this library shall be explained in the non-existent-so-far Documentation.
