      Great! I have my small example:

      from WinDialog import Button, Dialog, CheckBoxButton, Label, TextBox
      from WinDialog.controls.button import BM, BST
      from WinDialog.win_helper import SendMessage
      
      user_input = ''
      REGEX      = True
      IGNORECASE = True
      
      class FilerLinesEditDlg(Dialog):
          def __init__(self):
              super().__init__(            title='Filter Lines Editing', size=(250, 75), center = True)
              self.label  = Label(         title='Filter for:'         , position=(10, 12),  size=(30, 11) )
              self.edit   = TextBox(                                     position=(45, 10),  size=(195, 14) )
              self.case   = CheckBoxButton(title='Case Sensitive'      , position=(45, 30),  size=(80, 14)  )
              self.regex  = CheckBoxButton(title='Regular Expression'  , position=(145, 30), size=(80, 14)  )
              self.ok     = Button(        title='OK'                  , position=(130, 55), size=(50, 11)  )
              self.cancel = Button(        title='Cancel'              , position=(187, 55), size=(50, 11)  )
      
              self.ok.on_click     = self.on_ok
              self.cancel.on_click = self.on_cancel
              self.case.on_click   = self.on_case
              self.regex.on_click  = self.on_regex
              self.show()
      
          def initialize(self):
              global IGNORECASE
              global REGEX
              SendMessage(self.case.hwnd, BM.SETCHECK, IGNORECASE, 0)
              SendMessage(self.regex.hwnd, BM.SETCHECK, REGEX, 0)
      
          def on_ok(self):
              global user_input
              user_input = self.edit.get_text()
              self.terminate()
      
          def on_cancel(self):
              global user_input
              user_input = None
              self.terminate()
      
          def on_case(self):
              global IGNORECASE
              check = SendMessage(self.case.hwnd, BM.GETCHECK, 0, 0)
              if check & BST.CHECKED:
                  IGNORECASE = True
              else:
                  IGNORECASE = False
      
          def on_regex(self):
              global REGEX
              check = SendMessage(self.regex.hwnd, BM.GETCHECK, 0, 0)
              if check & BST.CHECKED:
                  REGEX = True
              else:
                  REGEX = False
      
      
      FilerLinesEditDlg()
      
      print(f"User:  {user_input}")
      print(f"Case:  {IGNORECASE}")
      print(f"Regex: {REGEX}")
      

      It seems to run correctly and prints status to the PythonScript console. I plan to integrate this into a larger script.

      I’m not sure I did the checkbox stuff correctly. It works, but I had to import some extra classes and the SendMessage function from your helper library. Did I do this right?

      Cheers.

        You can do it this way, but I personally would put the globals as attributes in the class to avoid globals in the first place.
        For the GETCHECK, because the checkbox is a “boolean” value, I would do something like: …

        ...
            def on_case(self):
                self.IGNORECASE = not self.IGNORECASE
        ...
        dlg = FilerLinesEditDlg()
        
        print(f"User:  {dlg.user_input}")
        print(f"Case:  {dlg.IGNORECASE}")
        print(f"Regex: {dlg.REGEX}")
        

        As for the SETCHECK, the SendMessage function is currently required.
        The next version, uploaded this weekend, will have a checkbox button method setCheckState (that’s the same kind of naming PS does … so it seems to make the most sense, right?). And now that I think about it, getCheckState makes sense too because of the 3-state checkboxes. Also, the next version will be able to handle IDOK and IDCANCEL, which means you can close a dialog with ESC and trigger the execution of the edit with ENTER.

          This just keeps getting better!

          I updated the globals to a return class that I pass in and then examine on output. The issue is I want this as a prompt in a larger already existing PythonScript and class so the “globals” are just globals in this example - in my project, they are attributes of the existing class that the dialog will need to know to set on startup and then return in case of modifications in the dialog. The globals were just a “cheat” way to illustrate a “complete self-contained example” to post here. But point taken - I am avoiding globals in the finished product.

          The on_case recommendation works as well very nicely and certainly simplifies code - removes the need for me obtaining BM.GETCHECK as well.

          It’s Memorial Day weekend in the States so I’ll be stepping away from all this for the long weekend. I do hope you take time to relax this - and any weekend for that matter. I’m in no rush for the updates, but will keep checking back the repo to see when they in fact do arrive.

          UPDATE:
          The updated script from above with fixes discussed. Also add the c#_ prefixes to the controls to force the TABSTOP order - seems to be alphabetical:

            Don’t worry, the weekends are for family commitments. I’ll just publish what I’ve managed to do during the week.
            As for the WS_TABSTOP, I thought that the order of creation of the controls determines the order … I’ll have to check that.

              Confused me at first; I’m wondering what the heck C# has to do with this…

              Finally I notice this is what you meant:

                The issue is here. dir always returns a sorted list.

                Replacing it with for item in self.__dict__.keys(): seems to behave as expected. The first control created that has the style ws_tabstop gets the initial focus.

                  First beta version released.
                  Sorry for breaking existing code, but from now on this should not happen.

                  The current state of the project is what I currently support.
                  If you encounter issues where the dialog box or controls do not work as described or advertised,
                  please report them by submitting a “git issue”. I will diligently investigate the issue and work on a solution.

                  However, please note that any requests for additional functionality beyond what is currently offered will be considered feature requests.
                  While I appreciate user feedback, I prioritize implementing features that benefit me personally and align with the overall goals of the project,
                  which is to be a simple wrapper over DialogBoxIndirectParam Windows API.
                  Thank you for your understanding."

                    First beta version released.

                    My example script above borrows from @Alan-Kilborn 's filter line editing script and provides a nice GUI to select case insensitive or regular expression type filtering.

                    Here’s a new example, inspired by a script in the jN plugin translate script:

                    import requests
                    
                    from enum import Enum
                    
                    from Npp import editor
                    
                    from WinDialog import Button, ComboBox, DefaultButton, Dialog, Label, TextBox
                    from WinDialog.win_helper import WindowStyle as WS
                    
                    TITLE = "Translate"
                    
                    class Languages(Enum):
                        """Translated language options."""
                        Chinese    = "zh"
                        English    = "en"
                        French     = "fr"
                        German     = "de"
                        Italian    = "it"

                        I’m just starting to experiment with this “Little Dialog wrapper”…


                        @Michael-Vincent said in Little Dialog-wrapper for PythonScript:

                        nice demo in WinDialog_tests_\test_win_dialog.py

                        Actually, I think, from the screenshot, that it is ...\lib\WinDialog\__tests__\test_button.py that is being run, NOT test_win_dialog.py.


                        When trying either of the two basic examples HERE, I get a dialog that appears and looks like this:

                        eec693b9-2698-4c62-be5d-f4dc0b88f370-image.png

                        But clicking on the Okay button doesn’t print anything to the PS console window (as the code makes me believe it should) and clicking on the Close Dialog button doesn’t close it (only clicking on the X in the upper right corner will end it).

                        I must be doing something wrong in a really basic sense?


                        @Michael-Vincent

                        I tried your recent (August 2023) scripts and both of them failed because they can’t find the import when you do import requests. Probably you are running with Prefer installed Python libraries?

                        I don’t have an “installed” Python, but I have a portable Python 3.11.4. I wonder what it takes to make Notepad++ see and use that…

                          The builtin urllib.request module should be available to any Python 3 host. You can then do the JSON serialization with the builtin json module. I can’t test it at the moment, but a more portable script would look something like this:

                          -import requests
                          +import json
                          +import urllib.request as requests
                          +import urllib.parse

                                   self._initialize()
                          
                          -        text_encoded = requests.utils.quote(self.word.getText())
                          -        r = requests.get(f"http://api.dictionaryapi.dev/api/v2/entries/en/{text_encoded}")
                          -        if r.status_code != 200:
                          +        text_encoded = urllib.parse.quote(self.word.getText())
                          +        r = requests.urlopen(requests.Request(f"http://api.dictionaryapi.dev/api/v2/entries/en/{text_encoded}"))
                          +        if r.status != 200:

                            The only thing you did wrong was to assume that once the author changed the public API interface, he would also change the examples in the documentation, but … man … he screwed up :-)

                              It works better that way. :-)

                              Probably the code in test_different_ways_to_create_dialogs.py in the __test__ folder needs the same change?


                              One more oddity: With the aformentioned test_button.py script, I have to press the Close Dialog button TWICE before the script ends.

                              It seems that the dialog IS closing with the first press, but something is reopening it?

                                Your changes did indeed allow the dictionary-lookup script to run for me. Thanks!

                                  Something is definitely up with having to close things twice.

                                  When trying out various scripts from the __test__ folder, e.g. test_progressbar.py, test_statusbar.py, I have to press the X in the upper right of the window TWICE before the script truly ends.

                                    Yeah, lol, apparently my code isn’t really self-explanatory, too bad, was hoping it was.
                                    Each test_{control} script executes once the dialog by rc-generation and once as a class example.

                                      Ha, okay, I wasn’t really digging into any of the code (yet!), just running things like a dumb user (success!) and misunderstanding what results were obtained.

                                      Thanks for the clarification.

                                      What I like to do if I have code that runs two ways is to let it only one way run via a controlling variable at the top. That way someone trying it can change one line (to change the variable) and the rest will run differently.

                                        For others that might be interested, here’s a full version of Michael Vincent’s dictionary script with rdipardo’s changes:

                                        @rdipardo

                                        Sorry I haven’t been around in a while, just getting back now. Thank you for the updates; I’ve converted my dictionary and translator scripts to use the more portable method as urllib does indeed come with PythonScript. And yes, I have the PythonScript plugin set to “see” my installed Python3 - which had the requests module installed.

                                        Happy we’re getting some traction out of @Ekopalypse 's Dialog-wrapper - truly ingenious and adds lots of menu / dialog functionality to PythonScripts.

                                        Cheers.

                                          Probably the code in test_different_ways_to_create_dialogs.py in the test folder needs the same change?

                                          Yes, correct and done, thanks for pointing it out.

                                          What I like to do if I have code that runs two ways is …

                                          They are tests, actually not meant as examples, my point was rather,
                                          that the dialogs generated in each case, or more precisely, the resulting ByteArrays are compared,
                                          but I understand what you mean. If I have a little more time sometime in the future,
                                          I will tackle that.

                                          Right now I’m using my meager free time to get the NppLspClient plugin into beta status, and then I wanted to rewrite the NppDebugger because my employer won’t allow me to release the existing plugin.
                                          (The downside, if you develop something during working hours, suddenly it doesn’t belong to you anymore) :-(
                                          (The advantage is that I can learn and use a new language, probably Rust or Zig, but I don’t know for sure yet) :-)

                                            Without a specific set of examples, the tests become the examples. :-)

                                            Actually, I think Michael led me down the road of the tests being examples…I didn’t think too hard about it at first.

                                            (The downside, if you develop something during working hours, suddenly it doesn’t belong to you anymore

                                            It is reasonable that it doesn’t belong to you, but it seems unreasonable that your employer won’t release it. It would be understandable if your employer was a developer of rocket fuel and your plugin calculated optimized rocket fuel ingredient proportions… But as a general purpose tool that won’t give a competitor some sort of edge, why not share it? Sigh.
