Dear Peter,
No, a wxListCtrl restricts the objects on a track (row) to sit on a certain
column. I need to place the objects on a track freely in horizontal
direction. This will be the timeline in the view. More ideas?
Best regards
Oliver

Dear List,
I'm looking for a toolkit to write a "track based" application like an
audio-sequencer or even like a project management tool like MS Project
(please don't shoot me when i'm talking about microsoft products on an
open
source list, it's just an example!!!). What i need is to specify a
couple of
horizontal "containers" (i.e. the tracks) to hold individual "block
style"
objects in it. Those blocks should be "connectable" to define
dependencies
to each other. Yes, i think it's more the project idea behind it.
Does anybody know if there exists some kind of software to simplify the
implementation of such kind of application? Otherwise, what would you
recommend to implement such a gui? Using a blank canvas and manage the
whole
drawing stuff? Or is there a way to "obuse" present widgets in wxPython
for
it?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english. I hope somebody
understood
my needs... :wink:
Best regards
Oliver

A ListCtrl widget in LC_ICON mode might be a good place to start.

wxListCtrl in LC_ICON mode looks like a thumbnail browser. I thought it could be forced to lay the icons in one row but.... it looks like you cannot do that. Sorry!
Try a panel with a vertical box sizer :smiley:

I have done things like this in the past including a msproject look-a-like
for our own task system.
I tried many controls, and each time it turned out to be better just to draw
it myself!

Most of my problems lay with coordinating scroll positions between 2
windows. The remotelyscrolled treeview and companion window work fairly well
for this but I still had problems when I wanted to scroll one from software
rather than by the user scrolling the scrollbar.
I hope this helps.
