Question about ttk_checkbutton widget
in [TCL]
|
From: jmc on 7 May 2010 13:15 Hello, I would like to know if the ttk_checkbutton widget can be configured with the "-state readonly" option. My purpose is to display a big multiple rows/columns readonly table with textual + digital + boolean (hence the checkbuttons) data, *but* without the light grey associated with the disabled state of checkbuttons for readability purpose (possibly because of contrast full black color for textual/digital data versus light grey color for checkbuttons). When configuring ttk_checbutton with "-state readonly" option it responds to user input (ie changing from checked/unchecked and vice versa) and that is not what is expected. It is not clear to me if this is a bug or if the general ttk widget option "-state readonly" is not handled by ttk_checkbutton. Many thanks Jean-Marie

If so, why not just use a "checked" and an "unchecked" image in, say, a label? Jeff

Yes, the checkbuttons are allways "readonly" in the application, so the idea of using images instead of checkbuttons is nice. But the application becomes more complicated as data are red from a database *and* the whole widget (Treectrl) is configured to change the background of an entire row of data when clicked on it (so 4 images to handle for each case) . If I can't find an other solution, do you know if is it possible to find somewhere the images corresponding to those used by the ttk_checkbutton ? Jean-Marie

Just guessing, but I'd think the background of the "cell" would still be visible around the image (if configured correctly). In that case, I'd think you could get by with just 2 images. > If I can't find an other solution, do you know if is it possible to > find somewhere the images corresponding to those used by the > ttk_checkbutton ? If it were me, I'd just grab the real ones via a screen capture app... Jeff

Or if the themability is important, have the program itself make the image based on the current theme. Or stack a transparent widget over the checkbox to intercept mouse clicks. The behaviour of "readonly" sounds like a bug though. |
