[wxPython] Here come the newbie questions...

Hi all,

I'm a brandnewbie at wxPython, and am finding I have several
questions while I evaluate things.

1. Is it possible to implement balloon help in wxPython?

2. In the wxTree Control, is it possible to make the entries
non-editable?

I'm sure I will have bunches more, but that's a start.

Thanks.

Balloon help:
  I think this is similar to Tooltips? If so, see SetTooltipString methods
on windows. If it's the more involved (and rarer)
click-to-start-bubble-help-mode-then-point-at-things-to-get-wordy-explanatio
ns-thing, then you'd likely have to build it yourself.

wxTree:
  Yes, don't specify the wxTR_EDIT_LABELS style for the constructor.

HTH,
Mike

There's something like this in 2.3, but I havn't wrapped it yet so I don't
know a whole lot about it yet.

??? - sorry, still finding my feet too.

2. In the wxTree Control, is it possible to make
the entries
non-editable?

The wxTR_EDIT_LABELS style flag makes the entries editable.
The default should not have this style, and therefore the
entries should not be editable. I've used a wxTreeCtrl in
wxPython (win32) and that was certainly the case - I was
struggling to make it editable until I noticed the style
flag.

No Linux equivalent?

Is there a way to run wxPython programs or applets
similar to Java applets or JSP's, so that I could
write wxPython forms or spreadsheets or display
graphics from a Web site without needing to use
one of those other languages or deal with stilted
HTML code?

Thanks,
Bill

ToolTips work fine on Linux. I think Mike meant to say "... on wxWindow"
