That would work if I knew what the controls were going to be. Perhaps I
should explain a little better.
I'm reading an xml document and extracting field information that I use to
dynamically generate a form in wxPython. One of the elements in the form
should be able to be repeated (cloned) at run time. So basically another
element exactly like the previous one is generated, but I dont know what
the previous one is going to be.
*whew* I hope that wasn't too cryptic.
So basically theres a wxControl, but I dont know what type. I want another
one exactly like it, is there any way I can clone it?
thanks

Make your panel into its own class:
class MyPanel(wx.Panel):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
wx.Panel.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)

Then you can make as many instances of MyPanel as you wish,
whenever you wish.
Yes, I see. Writing code that will build a class at runtime is more
difficult, I admit, but I still think that is your best bet. I
don't know what the code looks like that generates the form in
wxPython as you wread the XML document, but I my guess is that you
could modify it to build a class instead of building an instance.
Just a thought.
Interesting problem. Regards,

But you created the elements the first time, right? What's wrong with just doing the same dynamic construction code again?
