newbie: call a function of a parent widget

wxPython Users
1

Hi

I wanted to call a function of a parent widget.
My first try was to GetParent(), but this returns a pointer to the widget.
How can i than call the function?

self.GetParent().<function>() doesn't work.

My solution is to save th eparent in self.parent at initialisation of the
widget. This works but i think GetParent should work to, but i don't know
how to call a functino of a pointer, like '->' in c/c++

You have hit on a fundamental problem that Robin is at least one step of two
towards solving. Take a look at the OOR section in the Misc in the demo for
more.

This looks like too old version of wxPython. I have no problems with 2.3.3

It should. What version of wxPython are you using?
