Hello,
I'm new to Python and wxPython but I've to modify an (small)
application wich use XRC.
I want to use a ComboTreeBox or a ComboCtrl + TreeCtrl (like in the
wxPython demo), but I don't find how to do this with XRC.
Is there someone who can help me ?
Thanks,

Welcome to the wonderful world of Python and friends. If those
controls are not in XRCed, then you'll have to create them yourself.
Fortunately, this tutorial gives you some hints on the subject:
http://wiki.wxpython.org/XRCed
There's also a way to add an "unknown" control, but I don't know much
about how to do that.
Hope that gets you going though.

One way is to use XRC's UnknowControl capability to do this. It essentially creates a placeholder in the XRC and then later from the Python code you create the ComboTreeBox and attach it to that placeholder.
Another possibility is to create a XmlResourceHandler class that will enable XRC to know how to make the ComboTreeBox like any other widget type.

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
It won't be easy (I'm new in Python & wxPython), but I'll try to
follow this tutorial.

Hello,
Thank you for your reply.
It's a bit too complicated for me 
An example will be very appreciate...
Is it the same as in the tutorial given by Mike Driscoll ?
Thank you.
(sorry for my bad english)

There is an example of an XmlResourceHandler in the main demo.
For the unknown control approach you simply create a placeholder object in your XRC that has a class of "unknown". Be sure to set a name and any other properties that are appropriate. When the XRC is loaded then an empty panel will be created at that posiiton in the UI. You can then call the XmlResource's AttachUnknownControl method passing the XRC name of the unknown item and the widget to be placed at that position in the layout.
