Problems with wx.lib.masked.combobox.BaseMaskedComboBox

Dani_Valverde · September 28, 2010, 9:54am

Hello!
I am trying to set up a masked combobox using wx.lib.masked.combobox.BaseMaskedComboBox with autocompletion. However, I've found a couple of problems. On one hand, if I run the code as I provide it in the test.py file, I get an error caused by the 'Antigua and Bermuda' option on the Country combobox. This is the traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "test.py", line 56, in <module>
     Query(None, -1)
   File "test.py", line 27, in __init__
     self.Country = wx.lib.masked.combobox.BaseMaskedComboBox(panel, -1,size=(200, -1), choices=countries)
   File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode/wx/lib/masked/combobox.py", line 97, in __init__
     MaskedEditMixin.__init__( self, name, **kwargs )
   File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode/wx/lib/masked/maskededit.py", line 1857, in __init__
     self.SetCtrlParameters(**kwargs)
   File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode/wx/lib/masked/maskededit.py", line 2012, in SetCtrlParameters
     self._validateChoices()
   File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode/wx/lib/masked/maskededit.py", line 2661, in _validateChoices
     raise ve
ValueError: "Antigua and Bermuda" could not be entered into field -1 of control "maskedComboBox"

Then, if I remove this choice, I can run the code. However, it doesn't autocomplete when I start typing the name in the country combobox. Can anyone help?
Cheers!

Si no ï¿½s del tot necessari, no imprimeixis aquest missatge. Si ho fas utilitza paper 100% reciclat i blanquejat sense clor. D'aquesta manera ajudarï¿½s a estalviar aigua, energia i recursos forestals. GRï¿½CIES!

Do not print this message unless it is absolutely necessary. If you must print it, please use 100% recycled paper whitened without chlorine. By doing so, you will save water, energy and forest resources. THANK YOU!

Hello!
I send the file again (it is the same but removing the "Antigua and Bermuda" option in the countries choice of the combobox. To summarize, the masked combobox does not auto-complete and if I add the "Antigua and Bermuda" option in the countries choice of the combobox I cannot run the code, because I get the traceback in the mail before.

Hello!
I send the file again (it is the same but removing the "Antigua and
Bermuda" option in the countries choice of the combobox. To summarize,
the masked combobox does not auto-complete

Pass the autoSelect=True arg when creating the combobox.

and if I add the "Antigua and
Bermuda" option in the countries choice of the combobox I cannot run the
code, because I get the traceback in the mail before.

I expect that it is simply too long for the default mask template. Try specifying a different mask. Also you probably want to be using wx.lib.masked.ComboBox instead of wx.lib.masked.combobox.BaseMaskedComboBox.

I don't use the masked edit controls much myself so all I can do is guess. From the behavior and the raised exception is seems that the mask is not allowing enough characters for the values you want to use, so my guess is that setting a different mask with more allowed characters will take care of the problem. You should read through the docstrings in the masked edit modules to learn more about that.

Thank you so much. I will read carefully the docstrings to get the answer. In the meantime, if anyone could provide any hint it will be highly appreciated (I'm not very good at decoding the docstrings).

What mask are you using, can you show your code for the particular CB?

I use mostly this:
self.country.SetCtrlParameters(mask = u"*{50}", formatcodes = "S",
emptyInvalid = True)

Note the "*" which means accept any valid unicode character.

Dani_Valverde · September 30, 2010, 4:52pm

Thank you so much Werner, I'll keep it in mind. By the way, is there any way to set it "read only"? I mean, this control reads the contents from a MySQL table which name is "Countries" and sends the content to another MySQL table which name is "DayData". So, if the user modifies the value read from the "Countries" table it will send the modified (wrong) value to the "DayData" table. How can I prevent it?

You don't use the text as the foreign key in DayData, do you?

If yes, I would suggest to change it to use the primary key of Countries as foreign key in DayData.

For this you would use

cb.Append(item[0], item[1])

item[0] = string shown in cb
item[1] = pk of countries

which you can get from the cb with:
comboBox.GetClientData(cbSel)

You might also want to look at Dabo - http://dabodev.com/ , it didn't exist when I started created my application, so I used validators to set/get data to widgets and use sqlalchemy to get to the database.

Hello Werner,
I have been looking to your code and (sorry for my poor knowledge, I starting with wx.python) I don't understand it. Could you comment it a little bit? Furthermore, I need to use it with other applications not bound to database. How can I protect the combobox from being edited by the user? Please, can you use the provided test file?
Cheers!

You don't use the text as the foreign key in DayData, do you?

If yes, I would suggest to change it to use the primary key of Countries as foreign key in DayData.

For this you would use

cb.Append(item[0], item[1])

item[0] = string shown in cb
item[1] = pk of countries

which you can get from the cb with:
comboBox.GetClientData(cbSel)

You might also want to look at Dabo - http://dabodev.com/ , it didn't exist when I started created my application, so I used validators to set/get data to widgets and use sqlalchemy to get to the database.

Cheers!

Thank you Werner! However, isn't there any method to just not allow the user to modify the choices provided?

Yes, that answer was a bit higher up in the message, i.e. just after your question

Hi Dani,

...

Hello Werner,
I have been looking to your code and (sorry for my poor knowledge, I starting with wx.python) I don't understand it. Could you comment it a little bit? Furthermore, I need to use it with other applications not bound to database. How can I protect the combobox from being edited by the user? Please, can you use the provided test file?

I attach the changed script. As I don't have mssql I changed all your imports so it is easier to just activate/deactivate one.

In my code countries (or codes in general) are only loaded when needed and not on construction of the widget, therefore I can use "SetCtrlParameters", in your case you should need to move at least the "mask" parameter - see code.

Werner

P.S.
I will send you off list a little sample db application which shows how I do it using validators etc - just for your information, do whatever you like with it.
