COMMENTED ISSUE: Form designer removes all code comments

tchough — Tue, 13 May 2008 21:06:45 GMT

If you add code to a form file (like a button click event handler) and then edit the form in the designer, your code is reformatted and all comments are removed.

Expected behavior:
No code reformatting in human written methods.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start a new project with a form.
2. Add a button to the form.
3. Double click the button to bring up the newly create event handler.
4. Add some code and comments.
5. Save.
6. Go back to the designer and move the button.
7. Go back to the code view and notice your missing comments.
Comments: ** Comment from web user: tchough **

A nice workaround I've found is to just put all comments in quotes to turn them into unused strings. The code reformatter won't touch them, although it still messes around with other bits of code (I wish it didn't hate elif so much!). I'm also not sure if the comments are embedded in the compiled executable afterwards or not, so it's probably worth investigating if you have embarrassing code comments.

CREATED ISSUE: Debugging Problem

ambatisreedhar — Tue, 13 May 2008 08:08:46 GMT

Hi
I followed these steps for installation
Download and install the Visual Studio X redistributable from: Visual Studio Extensibility
After you run the Install for the MS VS 2008 Shell Isolated Mode Redistributable, you must then go to the folder ("C:VS 2008 Shell RedistIsolated Mode") and click on: "vsshellisolated_enu.exe" to actually install the redistributable runtime.
Install IronPython Studio

All are successful
I opened the Ironpython editor and want to do a windows application.
I wrote my code for a button click "MessageBox.Show('Jaga')"
Pressing F5 is not giving showing the Form.
Why ?
Where I went wrong? And one more : The editor is not throwing any errors even I am wrong also. It is always showing build successfull.

Thanks
Sreedhar

NEW POST: missing project templates

euxle — Fri, 09 May 2008 19:55:25 GMT

Howdy,

I got it...
I also have a VS Express installed. The IP Studio installer installed the templates to:
C:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\IronPython Studio\1033

There I found a bunch of zip files and just copied them over to my personal template folder as stated in the options of IP Studio.
And it works right away.

Even the files from the source distribution could probably be packed in a .zip, properly named and just put in the personal projecte template path.
But I didn't check that

Kind regards,

Peter

NEW POST: missing project templates

euxle — Fri, 09 May 2008 19:29:30 GMT

Hi there,

I have exactly the same problem.
All templates except the WPF project template are missing.
There are no files in the project template path as set in the options.
I wonder where VS gets the WPF project template from.
Could not find a file or corresponding files anywhere...

I also checked out the source distribution and the Project Templates are in there.
I just don't know what to do with them.
Just copying them over to the templates directory doesn't do it.

I hope anyone can help....

Kind regards,
Peter

NEW POST: ETA on next version?

tokyostormdrain — Wed, 07 May 2008 14:49:57 GMT

Hi,

Is there any information on when a new version of this potentially very useful tool be available?
I have given it a try and like the potential of it for creating interfaces for use by ironpython but cannot commit to using it until or if the bug whereby your forms design gets reset if you edit the code.

Any news would be very useful and I hope that this problem can be sorted out.

Thanks

COMMENTED ISSUE: Cannot Add Project References

mosenturm — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 15:55:37 GMT

While I know that you are aware of this issue, I am adding it here so that people can vote on it. Hope you don't mind.

You cannot add Project References in IronPython Visual Studio. It would be really helpful if you could.

Only my vote.

After installing and running Iron PythonStudio there is only one template for New/Project: WPF Application. Any hints, what went wrong with my installation?

NEW POST: intellisense not working with referenced dll

Another bump for this topic, specially for .Net classes. There should be an "Issue" tracking this.

NEW POST: How to switch IpyStudio to Cpython25

credford — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 22:08:14 GMT

import sys
sys.path.append("C:\\Python25\\Lib")

However, this does not work for dynamic libraries. I am trying to get ctypes to import and I can't because IronPython Studio can't figure out how to import the dynamic library _ctypes. So this is not the end-all-be-all fix for using Python 2.5 in IPS. Full compatibility is still not available.

CREATED ISSUE: Bad indention from tabs code completions

pjerrotluna — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 14:09:00 GMT

Please eliminate the tabs in code completion. They are annoying and give compiler errors.

When I type, then the code completion adds tabs, which gives wrong indention. The textedtitor do not show the bad indention. The code appears to be correct indented, but compile with outer/inne idention errors.

I have set up the tab to be 60 spaces, so it it easy to see when the code completion adds a wrong idention.

NEW POST: New user looking for guidance

tkpmep — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 02:09:06 GMT

I program in Python, but my programs are typically run from the command line or IDLE. I have never built a GUI, and would like to try my hand at creating GUIs that I can run my programs from. Is there a book or tutorial that covers IronPython, IronPython Studio and the dot Net platform that is aimed squarely at the new user?

Sincerely

Thomas Philips

NEW POST: Unable to view Form in Designer

credford — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 15:44:48 GMT

Thank you for the solution sbwong. However, I made an error while implementing your suggestions and I think I may have stumbled onto a simpler solution.

1. I made a new class file called "State.py" and put nothing into it.
2. I put "import State" at the top of my Form1.py file
3. I added "State.i = 0" to my _init()_ function in Form1.py to initialize a new variable to "State"
4. I am now able to access and modify the variable in the event handlers for GUI components

The GUI editor appears to still be functioning fine.

COMMENTED ISSUE: GUI Builder Stops Working if Slots are Added

credford — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 15:28:02 GMT

If you add slots to a Form class built in the GUI Builder--for example, if you are prototyping a class or if you are building a Form that needs some extra state--the GUI Builder stops working: it just shows a blank form of a standard size. However, the assembly still builds and runs fine. The GUI Builder should be able to deal with a Form class's having extra slots, especially if they are defined in __init__ and not in the InitializeComponent function.
Comments: ** Comment from web user: credford **

I've run into this issue too and, assuming there is no other way to add global variables to a form, I agree.

NEW POST: Run IronPython Studio without VS shell?

DDobrev — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 14:25:26 GMT

I installed IronPython Studio with VS 2008 Pro only (i.e. without a VS shell, isolated or integrated, unless VS installs any by default) and the installation was successful. But whenever I try to load an IronPython project, VS crashes. If debugged after the crash, VS says it encountered an ArgumentException: "The path is not of a legal form". Is this some bug or I need to install a VS shell? If it's a requirement to have a shell, will there be support for integration with an existing VS installation in the future (i.e. like an add-in, without the need to install a shell additionally)?
