I'm getting ready to do some web page updates and have realized that the
screen shots page is in a pretty sorry state. Most of them are from little
test programs that aren't even in the distribution anymore, only in CVS, and
all are fairly old. I'd like to get some real world examples in addition to
some of the basic ones that are already there, so if any of you have some
interesting examples you would like to share please send me a screen shot
along with a short description explaining what the reader is looking at. If
you want me to link to a web site "for more information" or whatever, let me
know and I'll do it.
Related to this, I'd like to start a list of companies or other institutions
that are using wxPython as a way to add credibility for those who don't know
much about it yet. If you are working on wxPython projects for your job
please send me the company or institution name, where you are located, and
if you would like the entry linked to your company website. I'll have a
disclaimer on the page to the effect that "inclusion in the list does not
imply endorsment, blah, blah, blah..." to make your bosses happy.
Finally, I'd like to have a standard sized banner add (468x60, and maybe
125x125 too) with a bit of animation to place at sites that display Open
Source adds, like FreshMeat and SourceForge and others. Everytime I try it
I think it looks too dorky, get frustrated and throw it all away for several
weeks. If anybody is graphically inclined and would like to give it a shot
I would really appreciate it. I'd like it to use the slogan, "Java give you
jitters? Relax with wxPython!" but it should stay away from trademark
problems like having a python strangling Java's Duke character (shucks!
We are using wxPython for the next version of the configuration tool for our
server software. It consists of a gui client (written in wxPython) talking
xml-rpc to a configuration server (written in python).
I will have to ask the Powers That Be to see if I can send you screenshots for
the wxPython web page. My boss would think it is cool, but I am pretty sure
that our pointy-hairs won't like us doing that
BTW, Is anyone updating the documentation for wxPython? I am not very fluent
in either C++ or Python (C and Perl are my thing) and this is the first GUI
project I have worked on, but I am *really* loving Python/wxPython. My problem
is that the C++ wxWindows docs work for me _most_ of the time, but it is that
other 20% of the time where I can't figure something out when I most need docs
specific to wxPython as opposed to wxWindows. I know the source is there, but
hunting through it to find the differences in the wxPython/wxWindows function
calls seems counterproductive. Also, I know of some classes that are
added/enhanced in the wxPython version (wxPy* and Py*), but since they are not
documented, I haven't used any of them (validators especially).
If someone else could head up a wxPython-doc project, I would be happy to lend
some time to helping out on it. I can't afford to lead the project, though. I
believe this is one big step that needs to be made to push wxPython to both the
python community as well as the general X-platform community.
Anyway, thanks to Robin (for wxPython) and the wxWindows guys!

Okay, if it's aproved just send them to me privately.
BTW, Is anyone updating the documentation for wxPython?
Yep. There are a couple people looking at a couple different ways to
produce/maintain a Python specific version of the docs. Once the kinks are
worked out I hope to be able to eventually switch over to using just Python
docs and not even ship the C++ docs.
Shouldn't double-click activate a tree item? I can't get this to happen -- hitting
the enter key will activate it properly, but a double-click has no effect at all
(no EVT_TREE_ITEM_ACTIVATED is generated.)
Is there some switch on the item I need to toggle in order to get it to accept
double-click as an activation signal?

I can't agree more with this -- moreover, I'd be happy to head up a documentation
translation/maintenance effort. How would one set about doing that? Obviously
it'd be best to coordinate with you, Robin, so .. here I am. (Case in point of
having to hunt through the demo code was simply how to use the File Open common
dialog. That was an irritating waste of time.)
The idea would be to take the C++ version and simply translate everything into a
Python frame of reference, with all functions shown in Python syntax, the Python
notes merged into the text, and (hopefully!) Python examples. The end result would
be a useful document which could be a set of pages, a help file, and a book. Am I
crazy, does anybody else wish they had that book to spread on their desk while
coding?

That sounds like it would be very useful. I look forward to seeing
something like this.
By the way, no, you aren't the only person that enjoys having a real
book made out of paper to refer to as they are coding. Having to switch
back and forth between windows while trying to code something can be quite
a pain sometimes.

Are you catching any mouse events for the tree? If so, if you don't call
event.Skip() then the event won't get to the wxTreeCtrl code to be turned
into an activate event. If this is not the case, or something similar, then
I woudl guess that you've found a bug.
I like having both, although having dual 19" monitors helps a bit

If I understand you correctly, no. I'm trapping for EVT_TREE_BEGIN_LABEL_EDIT,
EVT_TREE_END_LABEL_EDIT, and EVT_TREE_ITEM_ACTIVATED and that's all. The tree
is just in a splitter window with a text control on the other side. Instead of
a single click to select the item, I want an ITEM_ACTIVATED -- and activating
with a return works just fine. But the double-click doesn't seem to cause any
event at all.
