User-defined task #5 (Phase1)

After clicking "Start" button, the Phase is advanced to "1" to wait the task start time.



During Phase=1, the following code is executed. This contains only GUI arrangement and checking of task start time.

=======================================================================================================================
       if Phase == 1:  # Waiting phase (Task will start when the set time arrives)
           if Phase1_Init == 0: # If the initialization for phase1 has not done
               PutPreTaskButton()  # Put "StartNow" and "Back" button on Main window
               mStatusVar = StringVar(MainWindowRoot)  # Create a variable for status display
               mStatus = ttk.Label(MainWindowRightFrame, textvariable=mStatusVar)  # Create label object and link it with Main window
               mStatus.place(x=10, y=0)    # Place label object on the Main window
               mOngoingResultVar = StringVar(MainWindowRoot)   # Create a variable for progress display
               Phase1_Init = 1 # Flat that phase1 has done
           mStatusVar.set('Test task (' + str(GetTaskID()) + ')    Waiting...')    # Show current status of the Operant House
           if IsStartTime() == 1:  # Check whether task start time arrives
               StartNow()  # Start task (Phase number will be "2")
=======================================================================================================================


       if Phase1_Init == 0: # If the initialization for phase1 has not done
               PutPreTaskButton()  # Put "StartNow" and "Back" button on Main window
               mStatusVar = StringVar(MainWindowRoot)  # Create a variable for status display
               mStatus = ttk.Label(MainWindowRightFrame, textvariable=mStatusVar)  # Create label object and link it with Main window
               mStatus.place(x=10, y=0)    # Place label object on the Main window
               mOngoingResultVar = StringVar(MainWindowRoot)   # Create a variable for progress display
               Phase1_Init = 1 # Flat that phase1 has done

This part is an initialization cade. PutPreTaskButton()places "StartNow" and "Back" buttons.



mStatusVar = StringVar(MainWindowRoot)  # Create a variable for status display
ThemStatusVarholds a string which shows current status of the task.

mStatus = ttk.Label(MainWindowRightFrame, textvariable=mStatusVar)  # Create label object and link it with Main window
This line create a label object which is linked withmStatusVarhere and places it in the main window withmStatus.place(x=10, y=0).
Theplace()command can place the object by indicating coordinates in pixel.



mOngoingResultVarholds a text which shows result of latest task. Here it is declared but not assigned.



mStatusVar.set('Test task (' + str(GetTaskID()) + ')    Waiting...')    # Show current status of the Operant House
To show a waiting message, mStatusVar.set() is used to assign the string.


if IsStartTime() == 1:  # Check whether task start time arrives
   StartNow()  # Start task (Phase number will be "2")

When it is a time to start the task, IsStartTime()returns 1 then start the task withStartNow()command.
(StartNow()clears main window, record a task start time and adds 1 toPhase)
