Disable stop button (X) in Scene

ramvee

Hi,
This works for me, you have to slide two fingers on screen to close it.

# Hide X button
import ui
view = ui.View(bg_color = 'slateblue')
view.present('sheet', hide_title_bar=True)

That's a solution for UI. How do I do that in Scene?

iirc for scene you need to use a SceneView and use this approach.

Maybe stupid, but how do I do that?

Hide_title_bar does not work for me. Not sure why people recommend it.

This is a solution I came up with.

class MyScene(scene.Scene):
    def setup(self):
        self.label = scene.LabelNode('Test hide title bar', 
        position=self.size/2, parent=self)
        self.hide_close()

    def hide_close(self, state=True):
        from obj_util import ObjCInstance
        v = ObjCInstance(self.view)
        # Find close button.  I'm sure this is the worst way to do it
        for x in v.subviews():
            if str(x.description()).find('UIButton) >= 0:
                x.setHidden(state)

scene.run(MyScene())

This worked for me using Pythonista 3, where v is an instance of a class derived from ui.View.

v.present(title_bar_color='#000000',
          hide_close_button=True,
          orientations=['portrait'])

Obviously, you only need the "hide_close_button=True" part.

By the way, I'm relatively new here, and I still don't know how to post code so the formatting remains intact. I just searched for how to do that for 5 minutes and was unsuccessful. If anyone replies how to do that, I'll fix this post.

Update: Thanks dgelessus.

@technoway You can put three backticks before and after the code, like so:

```
your code here
```

becomes

your code here

You can also add python right after the first three backticks to get Python syntax highlighting.

@dgelessus @technoway Or just use the </> button in the editor. Adding python should usually not be necessary, syntax highlighting will mostly work without it.

Indented by 4 spaces also works for code blocks.

@technoway, I use a simple trick @ccc mentioned a long time ago. In 'Settings->Keyboards->Text Replacement' use 3 x comas to output 3 x ticks `
Not often you type 3 comas in a normal workflow.

@Phuket2 That's a great idea!
