Tooltips on Mac

[ErikDeBruijn]

I'll try to assist through teamviewer to point out when it works...

[daid]

Do the tooltips ever work on MacOS?
If not, it would be interesting to see if the "OnPopupDisplay" and "OnPopupHide" functions are called at all. They are in newui/configBase.py, and a simple print would show if those functions are called at all.

[ErikDeBruijn]

The bind function section is ran, the update too, but display and hide aren't run (at least, I don't see the results from the print statement in those functions...)

[daid]

Looks like the EVT_ENTER_WINDOW and EVT_LEAVE_WINDOW events don't work on text controls for MacOS (googling shows more people with the same problem)

I'll have to think up a way around that...

[daid]

I might have worked around this now. Let me know what the latest version does. It might still have a few issues with the popups hiding after showing, but they should popup now.

There are definitely issues with popups not hiding after showing. Once a popup is displayed it is not dismissed until a different popup is displayed (even if you go to another tab or even another program — I've got a popup displaying on top of Safari at the moment as I type this).

They do show though:).

Hi Daid, already an improvement.

I made a little screencast to understand how it behaves now:

It would be nice if the popup is hidden when you move or unfocus the entire window.

[daid]

Ah, damn. They also don't hide when moved over (which is something I did try to add). MacOS seems to be much more limited in which events are usable from controls. Time to put up the thinking hat again.

[daid]

While trying to use EVT_KILL_FOCUS I discovered something.
I made some changes and now MacOS popups might work, or might not work at all.

[ErikDeBruijn]

The Popups stopped working... so that's not it...

[daid]

I think my current solution should show the popups, at the bottom of the window. This is because the popup don't go away until you select something else. And if the popup was on top of another setting you cannot select that one.

It's not a perfect solution, but it's the best I could came up with right now.

[ErikDeBruijn]

It doesn't show the popup yet, but I may be testing the wrong version.

Running: python skeinpypy.py in dir: SkeinPyPy/SkeinPyPy/ (NOT NewUI, I lost the python file there... so can't run it!)

[daid]

I renamed the SkeinPyPy_NewUI to SkeinPyPy today. So makes sense you can no longer find the NewUI.

Odd that it doesn't show the popup. I've asked the wxPython-Mac maillinglist for help, maybe they can figure it out...
