Hi,

Following Problem:

1) no icons are displayed:

class CImageList (wxImageList):
     def __init__(self):
         wxImageList.__init__ (self, 16, 16)
         self.Add(wxBitmap('xpm/up_dir.xpm'))
         self.Add(wxBitmap('xpm/folder.xpm'))
         self.Add(wxBitmap('xpm/blank.xpm'))

   m_objIconList = CImageList()
   self.m_pLeftPanel.m_pFileList.SetImageList(m_objIconList, wxIMAGE_LIST_SMALL)
   self.m_pRightPanel.m_pFileList.SetImageList(m_objIconList, wxIMAGE_LIST_SMALL)

2) here it is ok:

self.il = wxImageList(16, 16)
self.il.Add(wxBitmap('xpm/up_dir.xpm'))
self.il.Add(wxBitmap('xpm/folder.xpm'))
self.il.Add(wxBitmap('xpm/blank.xpm'))

self.m_pLeftPanel.m_pFileList.SetImageList(self.il, wxIMAGE_LIST_SMALL)
self.m_pRightPanel.m_pFileList.SetImageList(self.il, wxIMAGE_LIST_SMALL)

Why is it so?

thank you!
