Ok, why this simple app dosn't work. I've spent one day investigating this and got nothing.
import wx, os
import gtk
import keybinder
class FrameWithHotKey(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
wx.Frame.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)
keybinder.bind("<Ctrl>period", self.toggle_shown)
def toggle_shown(self):
# windowNow id
if self.IsShown():
self.Hide()
else:
self.Show()
self.Raise()
if __name__ == '__main__':
app = wx.PySimpleApp()
frame = FrameWithHotKey(None)
app.MainLoop()
I don't know why, but sometimes (especially when I raise apps by clicking on them on panel) raising dosen't work and I got flash icon instead of raised window.
UPDATE
Ok, i return to the topic and notice these..
- above example works for me.. strange
i isolated strange behaviour which below code shows.. it's something related with wnck lib. So if my app window is deactivated by open new window (left click on window - test1) then raise works perfect, but if other window (replace 'opera' with any of Yours) is activated with wnck(by right click - test2) then actvation fails
import logging import subprocess import time import wnck import wx
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
class MyFrame(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self, parent, title=''): wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, title=title) self.Centre() self.Bind(wx.EVT_LEFT_DOWN, self.test1) self.Bind(wx.EVT_RIGHT_DOWN, self.raise_window) def test1(self, evt): logging.debug('losing..') subprocess.Popen(['xterm']) time.sleep(1) self.Raise() logging.debug('lost') def lose_focus_by_wnck(self): screen = wnck.screen_get_default() import gtk while gtk.events_pending(): gtk.main_iteration(False) wins = screen.get_windows() logging.debug('wins: {0}'.format(wins)) for win in wins: app_name = win.get_application().get_name() logging.debug('app: {0}'.format(app_name)) if 'opera' in app_name.lower(): win_id = win.get_xid() break else: win_id = None return win_id def test2(self, evt): logging.debug('losing..') win_id = self.lose_focus_by_wnck() win = wnck.window_get(win_id) TIMESTAMP = 0 win.activate(TIMESTAMP) logging.debug('lost') time.sleep(1) self.Raise() logging.debug('raised')if name == 'main': app = wx.PySimpleApp(redirect=False) frame = MyFrame(None) frame.Show() app.MainLoop()
Does anybody understand this behaviour instead of very helpful wtf like i feel? :)
