mixing event manager and AuiManager / general understanding problem ctrls and events

1:
How can I have a pane I added to AuiManager via for instance

wnd = wx.TextCtrl(u'TEST')
self._mgr.AddPane(wnd, aui.AuiPaneInfo().
Name("test10").Caption("Kalkulation").
Bottom().MinimizeButton(True))

change its content via an event triggered by another pane instance?

2:

I think I have a general misconception of ctrls and reactions to events.
Generally I want to be able to to have a pane or panel whose content is
determinied by events triggered (automatically or manually)
from another panel ...
Whenever I think I have figured it out it would not work in connection
w/ AuiManager managed panes.
I might be confusing aui.Manager, responsible for a pane's LAYOUT with
the actual pane and its content, thoug I am not sure how to access
already created content of a pane ...
To illustrate a simple example from the demo: (agw.AUI):

In the TreePane (left) when an Item is clicked, I want to update the
content of the html window showing WELCOME TO AUI at startup to display
some other text...

I am lost right now.

ThanX

To be able to easily access the TextCtrl later on you want to save a reference to it

self.wnd = wx.TextCtrl(u'TEST')

self._mgr.AddPane(wnd, aui.AuiPaneInfo().
Name("test10").Caption("Kalkulation").
Bottom().MinimizeButton(True))

change its content via an event triggered by another pane instance?

Assuming that both thispane and theother pane have a common parent you could now access it by doing thotherpane.GetParent().thispane.wnd.ChangeValue....

or you could again use pubsub and have theotherpane do a sendmessage and thispane do a subscribe

pane/panel are containers of controls

aui is "just" another container - also a pretty sophisticated one which contains lots of other containers and they then contain controls, also you can/could set just one control as a auipane (which you have done above).

Hope it helps and doesn't add to the confusion.

Thank you very much Werner,

I think this helps. Will have another coffee and put together a test app
for this.

Cheers,
