no dumentation for newID !?

Hi all,
mostly I am writing wxWindows in C++ - just starting a bit with wxPython I
was surprised that there was NO documentation
about the NewId() call !
I think that this is used mainly in wxPython (not so much with C++) , right?
Maybe it should be mentioned in the 'wxPython overview' !? wiki.python.org
doesn't talk about it either ...

Thanks for everything -
Sebastian Haase

That's an old alias for wxNewId() that I kept around even after the C++ side removed it. In the current release of wxPython using NewID should issue a deprecation warning prompting you to switch to wxNewId.

Thanks - I just found out about that - but still: Is wxNewId() used more
in wxPython that it is in C++ ? Maybe just a style questions ?

Probably. In C++ you normally use the static event tables and they need to have static IDs.
