missing rich text control methods

Hi all,

I find, using the latest 2.8.9.2 bindings on OSX, that there are methods
listed for the wxRichTextCtrl in the current wxDocs (the ones linked
from wxpython.org that appear to be the docs for wxWidgets 2.8.10), that
are not available from wxPython. For example I have code which could use
the IsPositionVisible method, but it appears (among others) to not be in
the bindings.

Will the rest of the RichTextCtrl methods be available when wxPython
2.8.10 is released, or is there another reason why some methods are not
in the python bindings?

If the IsPositionVisible method is in wxPython 2.8.10, where can I get a
build for OSX Leopard and python 2.6.2, or do I need to build one myself
(I'd prefer not to)?

Cheers,
Stephen.

I'm fairly certain that this was asked before in the last few weeks and I think Robin said that they would be wrapped in the next release (or the one after that). Check the archives to be sure I'm not mis-quoting him.

Ok I skimmed the list archives for the last few months and googled, but
I can't find the previous message(s) about this you're referring to.

In any case, if the answer _is_ that this will be in the next release,
where can I get a prerelease build for OSX python 2.6.2 to test?

Thanks,
Stephen.

Hmmm...I'm not finding it either, so I may be thinking of another widget. Anyway, I did a little googling myself and found the previews are here:

http://wxpython.wxcommunity.com/preview/

I couldn't find a link to the previews from the wxPython site, but maybe I missed it...

Thanks Mike, downloading now.

I looked too, on wxpython.org and on the wiki, and could not find any
link to preview builds, which seems odd.

There isn't one. You're supposed to be subscribed to the wxPython-dev list to get announcements about them. :wink:

Those methods were added to the final 2.8.10.1 release.

Hi Robin, as the original poster of this question I think that as the
"audience" for wxpython is developers, having a link to devel builds
from wxpython.org makes sense...

*shrug* in any case, I'll subscribe to the devel list. :wink:
