A Very small issue in PAGE 8.0
12 January 2024
Greetings fellow beings. Yet another post from Uncle Greggie (as I’m known on the PAGE Discord forum) currently located in a galaxy far far away called Central Texas. (Believe me, it REALLY feels that way sometimes!)

24 April 2023
It’s been almost a full year since my last update, and I REALLY am sorry for the lack of attention that I’ve given the website. As I usually say, “Life has a tendency to get in the way” and that’s SO true in my world.

It’s been almost a month since my last post and I’ve been trying to come up with a topic that is relevant. I’ve had a number of thoughts on what to post about, but every time I come up with something, I get sidetracked by another project or just life. This week, I had to “eat crow” on an error that was found in my Widget Demo that was included in PAGE 7.4 and to fight many other issues in life in general. I had thought I’d use that as a topic for a post. However, yesterday (Friday) I was...

I recently sent my good friend Halvard a newer version of the PAGE Widget Demo that I’m working on for PAGE. In it will be examples of how to use each and every widget that PAGE supports. In one section of the demo, I show how to create hyperlink labels out of standard Tk Label widgets.

26 December 2018
Well, it’s that time of year where things start to get crazier than normal. Rushing around, trying to come up with holiday recipes, making sure that the apartment is clean just in case someone drops by, coming up with ideas for presents for friends and family members while staying within my budget ($0 USD) and so on. In the meantime, I try to keep busy writing for Full Circle Magazine (more on this in a moment), trying to continue working on my Page book, helping out my son, and trying to live with my spinal injuries. Officially, I am retired,...

04 July 2018
As you might know, the tab order of the widgets on your form by default is determined by the order that you create them. This isn’t just in Page, but also Tkinter in general.

04 June 2018
Years ago, when I programmed in Visual Basic, I found that I occasionally needed some separators, just a series of 2 pixel lines, to break up the information on the form. I didn’t need a full frame to do this. I started off using a 2 pixel light line, but visually that wasn’t pleasing enough. Then one day I was fooling around and found that if I used a frame the width that I wanted, but only set the height at 2, that I had something that looked like it was done using a control (what we called widgets back...

I think that I’ve finally got a handle on this thing. I’ve pulled a copy of the master Prologue repo down to my desktop and I started running Jekyll locally. Now I can change things here before it gets too ugly up on GitHub.

26 May 2018
Well, here I go. This is my first blog post anywhere. I think that I have to look at this as something like a very short article, similar to what I write for Full Circle Magazine on a (mostly) monthly basis, just with less structure and can be on anything. Well, my articles for FCM can be on pretty much anything, but I usually keep them somewhat focused on Python. Mostly.
