Re: [pygame] OcempGUI help neede on container

Thanks, Marcus.

I didn't know about that list.
You have the correct idea and I will try out your suggestion.
If I use a table and all the buttons in it is the same colour, I don't need the imagemap anymore? It will not be visible?
Can I change the colour of the button when it was clicked?

Thanks,
Johan

The next big steps is to put the words in my main playing field and to
hide the words. I am not sure what to use to populate the field with the
letters.
I thought of a image for each letter and the main field to be about 15
letters down and 15 across.

Any ideas and comments on my code and how I can use OcempGUI to do what
I want?
    

This sounds like a job for a Table widget, if I got you right. You want
to have a game field looking like the following, not?

-------------
|A|X|T|F|O|P...
|C|E|D|G|Z|U...
...

If so, the best would be to use a Table with 15 rows and 15 columns and to
place buttons with the given letter in each of its cells:

tbl_words = Table (ROWS, COLUMNS)
...

for i in tbl_words.rows:
    for j in tbl_words.columns:
         table.add_child (i, j, Button (LETTER))

Now you can easily check for the correct button by binding its SIG_CLICKED
signal to your specific actions.

For special issues with the toolkit I recommend you to post to the ocempgui
mailing list[0] as this is not exactly the right place.
