Hello,

Does anybody have an exemple how to use wxConfigBase ? I'm trying to use
GetxxxEntry(), but it does not work:

        config = wxConfigBase("pydias")
        configEntries = []
        flag, entry, index = config.GetFirstEntry()
        while (flag):
            configEntries.append(entry)
            flag, entry, index = config.GetNextEntry()
        for entry in configEntries:
            print entry

I got:

TypeError: Type error in argument 1 of wxConfigBase_GetFirstEntry.
Expected _wxConfigBase_p

Thanks,

···

Frederic,
         According to the DOCS, GetFirstEntry, is typed as:
                 GetFirstEntry(String, Int)..

         You are not passing any parameters.. The parameters also don't show as optional.

         Have you tried to pass in the Parameters to see if it give you a different result?

IIRC, you don't want to use wxConfigBase, you want to use wxConfig. wxConfigBase is an abstract base class from which several different config classes are derived. The most appropriate of those classes for your system will be defined as wxConfig -- this will use hidden files in ~ under *nix, or the registry under Windows.

                 GetFirstEntry(String, Int)..

         You are not passing any parameters.. The parameters also don't
show as optional.

wxPython note: The wxPython version of this method returns a 3-tuple
               consisting of the continue flag, the value string, and the
               index for the next call.

So it didn't need arguments.

         Have you tried to pass in the Parameters to see if it give you
a different result?

Yes:

TypeError: wxConfigBase_GetFirstEntry() takes exactly 1 argument (3 given)

Anyway, I have the error:

TypeError: Type error in argument 1 of wxConfigBase_GetFirstEntry.
Expected _wxConfigBase_p

on any method of wxConfigBase. I think I'm missing something, but I don't
see what...
