Multi layout on ControlDesk using Python [solved]

[medlot]

Very funny now, no error is displayed on the interpreter panel but nothing happens. I do import the python file _layout_2 rather than the layout file layout_2.lay as you said.

I open only the layout_1 window, i swith to the animation mode. Then when clicking on the button, I suspect the layout_2 window to appear, but nothing happens !

did I somthing wrong?

If the code looks like the (minus weird pasting artifacts):

 
 
# -*- coding: cp1252 -*-
 
def On_Instrumentation_layout_2_dSPACEDisplayControl_Click():
	"""
	Syntax : On_Instrumentation_layout_2_dSPACEDisplayControl_C lick()
 
	Purpose : Click event handler.
 
	Parameters : None
 
	"""
	print "On_Instrumentation_layout_2_dSPACEDisplayControl_Click called"

then all I expect is:
On_Instrumentat ion_layout_2_dS PACEDisplayCont rol_Click called
printed on the interpreter panel (which comfirms that you can now call a function in another module). Look like you need to add some fuctionality to get what you are after.

Sorry, I didn't understand what I should do within your previous post , may be a problem of US english.

Could be a problem with my usage.... Your english is great!
_layout_2 does print to the screen, right?
If so, it is working as far as you have written code for.
To get more than printing (figuratively) "Hello", there must be more code in the function that you call. 3:00am PST. More later.

Right now, when clicking on the button, I have the code that it is expected to be printed.

On_Instrumentation_layout_1_dSPACEOnOffButtonControl_Click called

But still no layout_2 window appearing. As you sad, there shoud be more things to add to perform that. I m trying to find a solution but stay in touch please.

I looked at dSpace ControlDesk. Looks like good software. Python is a good choice for user extentions. My favorite book to learn python is published by O'Reilly, by Mark Lutz and David Ascher, April 1999
