SpinCtrl no SetFocus ?

wxPython Users
1

I have a script that uses a spinner widget and it works as I would expect
except one error.
In a button event I want to SetFocus for a SpinCtrl.
           
        self.sc.SetValue(0) # this works as expected
        self.sc.SetFocus() #I get the error message: “ NameError:
name 'self' is not defined”

Both of the above instructions are in the same button event handler. I am
thinking that the spinner
widget doesn't have a SetFocus() method (?)

Thanks for any help. Note: I also posted on the Ubuntu site.

That sounds more like “self” is not defined rather than an AttributeError. Can you provide a small runnable sample application that demonstrates the problem (MakingSampleApps - wxPyWiki)?

Thanks,
Mike

That would say that "SetFocus" was not defined.

My guess is that you have an indentation error. For example:

        def OnClick(self,evt):
            self.sc.SetValue(0)
        self.sc.SetFocus()

That would cause the results you see. Mixing spaces and tabs can also
cause this and be much harder to see.

Mike, I think it must have been tabs/space issue. I had started using SciTE
editor and the default
indent was set to use tabs. I started the script first using GEDIT and
always used space instead of the tab key. I kind of like the SciTE editor as
it behaves better than using Terminal mode or IDEL IDE when doing
multiple edits/run cycles.
