Getting started

Installed? try now.

To get things started we will try to run a very simpl GUI based application using the DicksonUI . First create a small Python script called hello.py with the following content and save it somewhere:

Initialize a Window

First, let's create a new Application.

from dicksonui import Application, window
mywindow=window()
document=mywindow.document
App = Application(('',1024))
App.Add(mywindow)
mywindow.show()

Run!!!

Run your code. For Python 3

python3 myscript.py

Or, For Python 2

python myscript.py

Nothing!!! but a blank page.

Add items to form

Okay, now that we will learn about Controls

from dicksonui import Application, window
mywindow=window()
document=mywindow.document
App = Application(('',1024))
App.Add(mywindow)
heading=document.createElement('h1')
heading.innerHTML='Hello World!'
document.body.appendChild(heading)
mywindow.show()

Run it.

Hello World!
