accessing values in wxTextCtrl within sizers

Have a look at the demo app named DUAL_CONTROL_CLASS_2.PY
found at :

       [BoxSizerFromTheGroundUp/NestedBoxSizers](http://wiki.wxpython.org/BoxSizerFromTheGroundUp/NestedBoxSizers)

  This will show you have to extract the control variables created

from a class instantiation. You could, instead, write a method in
the class definition simply to extract the controls’ values rather
than the control variables, themselves.

  Controls are usually instantiated (created) and assigned to

variables. Once this is done it makes no difference whether the
app is kicked off from the command line, a script file or from the
OS’s GUI.

I'm top posting here because what I am writing about doesn't have
anything to do with the content...but with Ray's method of responding.

I read this list by getting emails and Ray, I've noticed that some but
not all of your responses arrive to my inbox as a separate thread
instead of in the original thread. Wasn't there a discussion about
this issue some time back? In any case, would you be interested
altering what you are doing so as to not do that? I think it is a lot
better for the quality of the archive and the day to day reading of
the list for threads to remain intact.

Thanks,

Thanks Ray,
Have had a look and it makes more sense now. Still a lot more reading
to do :<)

His stuff tends to look right in the web interface. Weird...

There was a thread concerning exactly this issue. It is due to a bug
in Gmail. When I send a regular email Gmail *sometimes* screws up
figuring out that it should be added to the end of an existing thread.
I only send an email when I also want to send an attachment. Most
times this does not happen, but success and failure are totally
unpredictable. I would have thought Google Gmail staff would be adept
enough to have already fixed this obvious bug when email originates
from a Thunderbird client.

I'll use my Gmail account to respond with attachments from now on.

I would suggest that if you would like to participate in discussions
that you change your subscription settings to read messages as Email
(this is a mailing list after all) so you can properly Reply to them
from your inbox. Goto
(http://groups.google.com/group/wxpython-users/subscribe) and check
the "Email" radio button.

The problem isn't that google is messing up it just that you are
sending a new email with the same title instead of replying to the
original message. So as far as the world is concerned you have sent a
brand new email that is not part of the original message thread since
the heading data in your email doesn't contain the reply header from
the previous message(s).

Yes, Google Groups/Gmail is messing up.

I have always had the "Digest Email" radio button selected to avoid
getting 26 separate emails each day. If I click the "Reply" button
from the web page I can not attach any files since the web pages do
not not have this capability. I must use a separate email program,
client or web-based using the thread's title as the email's Subject
line.

I had been using Thunderbird to reply with file attachments rather
than Gmail. The Google Groups email doesn't always properly parse
email headers from Thunderbird even though the Subject line is
identical, therefore correct. This is the one and only cause of the
thread reply goof-ups.

I will use Gmail in the future to post my replies that have attached
files.

That is the problem, you cannot reply to individual messages by using
the digest. The digest is one email with its own header. The digest is
mostly for people that just want to read up and follow whats going on
and not participate.

You need to receive the original individual email messages so that you
can reply to them and preserve the message threading.

Google groups may try to make the threading work by checking the
message title but that is not a standard behavior of email.

Anyway, this is way OT so this will be my last reply

This particular thread from the Digest email brings up the web page:

    http://groups.google.com/group/wxpython-users/browse_thread/thread/6243a4881acfe802

Each thread topic page has a Reply button at the bottom of each entry.
