1 00:00:01,660 --> 00:00:07,010 OK, this video I want to talk about status bars and my status bars, like take a look at sublime text 2 00:00:07,010 --> 00:00:08,950 down here at the bottom, we've got a little bar. 3 00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:13,030 There's a status it might change based on what you do, et cetera. 4 00:00:13,040 --> 00:00:14,050 How do we do that with Kenta? 5 00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:20,140 Well, actually, there is no status or widget with Kintner, but we can kind of hack around with a 6 00:00:20,140 --> 00:00:22,030 regular label to make one. 7 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,160 So that's what we're going to do in this video. 8 00:00:24,170 --> 00:00:24,520 So. 9 00:00:24,740 --> 00:00:28,780 All right, I've got a new file called Status Stoppie, and this is the same stuff we've been working 10 00:00:28,780 --> 00:00:29,020 with. 11 00:00:29,020 --> 00:00:32,740 It's just a regular menu stuff and nothing else. 12 00:00:32,890 --> 00:00:40,350 So let's come down here to the bottom and let's just create a label real quick and I don't know, let's 13 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,250 call it minor score status. 14 00:00:42,910 --> 00:00:44,800 And we want to set that equal to a label. 15 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:50,980 And we want this in root and we want the text to say, I don't know, waiting. 16 00:00:52,890 --> 00:00:55,800 And let's give this a border of two. 17 00:00:57,630 --> 00:01:02,190 And let's make this relief equals sunken. 18 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:09,260 Because we want it to look like it's kind of sunken in, it's like a status bar right now, we want 19 00:01:09,260 --> 00:01:12,880 this to kind of span the whole width of our program. 20 00:01:13,220 --> 00:01:21,140 So let's give this a width of, let's say, 50, and we'll take a look and see what this does in just 21 00:01:21,140 --> 00:01:21,590 a second. 22 00:01:21,620 --> 00:01:30,820 So now let's just go my underscore status dot grid, and we want it to be in row to column zero. 23 00:01:31,010 --> 00:01:33,170 I don't know what row wrong, I think. 24 00:01:34,430 --> 00:01:40,690 It was started with Ruwan, actually, this should be Rosero, but either way, it doesn't really matter. 25 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,840 If that's Rosero, then this will be a real one. 26 00:01:46,090 --> 00:01:47,190 OK, so if we save this. 27 00:01:48,350 --> 00:01:52,490 And let's just run this real quick, so run python stats, not by. 28 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:58,920 You see, OK, we've got this bar and it's at the top, it's not at the bottom, which is a problem 29 00:01:59,100 --> 00:02:01,400 and it doesn't quite go all the way across. 30 00:02:01,410 --> 00:02:03,240 So we need to fiddle with our width. 31 00:02:03,540 --> 00:02:10,980 So I'm going to just come back over here and let's give this a fifty five and save this and run it. 32 00:02:11,100 --> 00:02:14,760 Now, this is not the best way to do it, but for our simple program, this will work. 33 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,730 OK, so we still got a little bit of space left. 34 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:18,920 Let's try, I don't know. 35 00:02:18,930 --> 00:02:19,800 Fifty six. 36 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,360 And as your program gets more complicated there's better ways to do this. 37 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,780 But since this is a simple program, OK, that's basically good enough. 38 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:29,700 OK, now this waiting thing is in the middle. 39 00:02:29,700 --> 00:02:31,470 We want this kind of over to the side. 40 00:02:31,470 --> 00:02:32,520 So how do we change that? 41 00:02:33,210 --> 00:02:34,590 Well, we can anchor this. 42 00:02:34,590 --> 00:02:40,500 I don't know if we looked at anchor or not when we looked at labels, but we can just call anchor and 43 00:02:40,500 --> 00:02:41,630 set that equal to east. 44 00:02:41,640 --> 00:02:44,700 So north, south, east, west, east would be right. 45 00:02:44,730 --> 00:02:48,900 So let's go ahead and say this and run it and see. 46 00:02:49,830 --> 00:02:56,040 OK, so now we've got waiting over there and that seems to be working OK, so now it's at the top, 47 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:57,380 though, instead of at the bottom. 48 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:03,570 And the reason why that is, is because in our program here at the top, we just designated that this 49 00:03:03,570 --> 00:03:05,130 is going to be four hundred by four hundred. 50 00:03:05,130 --> 00:03:06,890 And this is sort of an arbitrary thing. 51 00:03:07,140 --> 00:03:09,420 This will change based on what your actual program is. 52 00:03:09,500 --> 00:03:12,000 I'm just going to comment that out for now. 53 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:13,590 And let's take a look at this. 54 00:03:15,150 --> 00:03:20,310 And see, now we've got this now it's definitely at the bottom, but if we click one of these things, 55 00:03:20,790 --> 00:03:26,100 see now it is at the bottom when we actually put stuff on the screen, this will be at the bottom so 56 00:03:26,610 --> 00:03:29,490 we can change this and that works. 57 00:03:30,060 --> 00:03:31,920 OK, so we've got this thing. 58 00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:33,630 It's kind of looks like a bar thing. 59 00:03:33,630 --> 00:03:34,500 It's kind of cool. 60 00:03:34,500 --> 00:03:39,030 But now this doesn't change based on, you know, anything. 61 00:03:39,030 --> 00:03:40,710 It just keeps saying waiting. 62 00:03:41,010 --> 00:03:42,270 So how do we change this? 63 00:03:42,300 --> 00:03:44,360 Well, there's a bunch of different ways that you can change it. 64 00:03:45,430 --> 00:03:51,340 But something we haven't talked about yet is string variables, we can create a string variable and 65 00:03:51,340 --> 00:03:57,150 let's just call it current under score status and let's set that equal to a string var. 66 00:03:57,550 --> 00:03:59,010 Now this becomes a function. 67 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:04,050 So now we can set and get this string variable. 68 00:04:04,060 --> 00:04:08,980 So let's call this current underscore status dot set. 69 00:04:09,010 --> 00:04:10,150 We want to set it aside. 70 00:04:10,150 --> 00:04:15,800 What do we want to set this as a misspelled waiting right there. 71 00:04:15,820 --> 00:04:16,670 A misspelled wedding. 72 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:23,500 OK, so now we've set this to waiting and instead of putting text here, we can put this variable. 73 00:04:24,530 --> 00:04:32,420 So if we copy this and paste that in, so our text is current status, but we now need to change this 74 00:04:32,420 --> 00:04:35,610 from text to text variable. 75 00:04:35,930 --> 00:04:38,630 Now, if you're using a regular variable, you don't have to change it. 76 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,500 You could just leave it as text and then put your variable in here. 77 00:04:41,750 --> 00:04:47,990 But since this is we've converted it to a string variable, a string var, which is a specific Kintner 78 00:04:47,990 --> 00:04:48,470 thing. 79 00:04:48,650 --> 00:04:49,740 This is not a python thing. 80 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:50,840 This is a Kintyre thing. 81 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,500 So since this is a counter thing, we have to change this to text variable. 82 00:04:54,770 --> 00:04:55,070 All right. 83 00:04:55,070 --> 00:05:00,140 So let's save this and let's run this guy and make sure that worked. 84 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:05,900 And sure enough, it says waiting there, but again, if we click this, nothing actually happens. 85 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,170 So what we want to do now is. 86 00:05:09,650 --> 00:05:16,870 See how we set this just like this, if we copy this and come up to each of our new functions, right. 87 00:05:17,150 --> 00:05:23,900 And then say here we want to put a message for cut cut status. 88 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:24,590 Right. 89 00:05:24,980 --> 00:05:26,330 And here for. 90 00:05:26,330 --> 00:05:27,200 Let's see. 91 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:29,640 The edit frame. 92 00:05:31,780 --> 00:05:33,280 We're going to go right here. 93 00:05:34,220 --> 00:05:41,680 We want to call this the file status, whatever, that we save this and come back and run this guy again. 94 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:51,740 Waiting if we click cut now it says cut status if we click file now it says file status and this will 95 00:05:51,740 --> 00:05:52,880 update based on whatever. 96 00:05:52,910 --> 00:05:55,220 Now, this is a silly example, right? 97 00:05:55,220 --> 00:05:56,720 File status status. 98 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:57,620 That doesn't mean anything. 99 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:05,090 But if you're creating some more sophisticated program and you have a countdown or you have, you know, 100 00:06:05,300 --> 00:06:10,670 for instance, if you created an image viewer and you're showing image one of four, image two or four, 101 00:06:10,670 --> 00:06:13,490 image three or four, you would want that to update accordingly. 102 00:06:13,670 --> 00:06:14,840 Or you could do that now. 103 00:06:14,840 --> 00:06:20,480 And the exact same way we've just learned just by calling the variable set and then passing in whatever 104 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:21,020 you want. 105 00:06:21,650 --> 00:06:22,850 So that's pretty cool. 106 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,960 So that's sort of a hacky way to do that. 107 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,880 Spa's it's not the cleanest thing in the world, but sometimes with cancer, you just have to kind of 108 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,800 hack things around and make them do what they want. 109 00:06:31,010 --> 00:06:36,350 And obviously, you can make this look any any way you want just by using different border with by using 110 00:06:36,350 --> 00:06:39,740 different colors, by using different reliefs we use sunk in. 111 00:06:39,740 --> 00:06:44,360 But remember, there are several different reliefs that we looked out at the label video and go back 112 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,600 and watch that if you need to brush up on that. 113 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:48,070 And it's pretty cool. 114 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:49,450 So that's all for status bars. 115 00:06:49,460 --> 00:06:51,560 In the next video, we'll look at radio buttons.
