Bug in mixins/listbox selectBeforePopup

wxPython Users
1

Hi,

just found a bug in $Subject.
A listctrl event has no "GetPosition", instead it's GetPoint.

Linux Py 2.2 wxPy 2.4.12

Error is:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "PolicyDetail.py", line 105, in _adminmenu
    selectBeforePopup(event)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/wxPython/lib/mixins/listctrl.py",
line 249, in selectBeforePopup
    n, flags = ctrl.HitTest(event.GetPosition())
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/wxPython/controls2.py", line 424, in
__getattr__
    raise AttributeError,name
AttributeError: GetPosition

Are you calling selectBeforePopup yourself? What kind of event are you passing to it?

I'm passing a listctrl item right click and yes, I'm calling it myself since
it's a nice and convenient method.

Looks like it is expecting a wxMouseEvent so that explains it. You can make an alias in wxListEvent if you want, just add "GetPosition = GetPoint" to the class definition. Or put your listevent in a custom class that forwards a call to GetPosition to the real GetPoint:

  class SBPWrapper:
    def __init__(self, evt):
      self.evt = evt
    def GetPosition(self):
      return self.evt.GetPoint()

  selectBeforePopup(SBPWrapper(listevent))

:slight_smile: Hey, why do it simple if there's a complicated way :slight_smile:
Actually I just copied the function into my code and replaced GetPosition with
GetPoint => works.
Thanks for the suggestion anyways.
