[Robert Kamarowski]

Is there a way for ObjectListView components to be availabel from the boa toolbar?

thank you,

Hi Bob,

Not directly without quit a bit of work, but you can you do it by using _custom_classes, I use this for all kind of controls I customize in some way.  For the OLV and DVC which I currently do some testing on I create Boa:FramePanel on which I manually code the ObjectListView, DataViewControl or similar and then add it to the frame by definining it like this:

class Frame1(wx.Frame):
    _custom_classes = {'wx.ComboBox': ,
                       'wx.TextCtrl': ,
                       'wx.lib.masked.numctrl.NumCtrl': ,
                       'wx.Panel': ,}

….
        self.theList = PanelDVC(id=wxID_FRAME1THELIST, name=u'theList',
              parent=self.splitterWindow1, pos=wx.Point(0, 0), size=wx.Size(776,
              197), style=wx.SUNKEN_BORDER | wx.TAB_TRAVERSAL)

You have to watch out that the custom classes behaves exactly the same as the base class in this case a wx.Panel.

sounds a bit too advanced for me at this time.  but thank you for the info Werner.

I have a similar situation where I am trying to add an ObjectListView to Boa Constructor via the Frame Designer. I finally figured out how to add OLV to my Python library (which was an effort in itself, as I am new to Python and its permutations…)

Anyway, I think I've followed the code design from Werner (above), but I keep getting errors. Here is the wx.Panel control (basic for now, I just want to get the basics working first):

#Boa:FramePanel:OLVPanel
import wx
from ObjectListView import ObjectListView
[wxID_OLVPANEL] = [wx.NewId() for _init_ctrls in range(1)]
class OLVPanel(wx.Panel):
    def _init_ctrls(self, prnt):
        wx.Panel.__init__(self, style=wx.TAB_TRAVERSAL, name='', parent=prnt, pos=wx.DefaultPosition, id=wxID_OLVPANEL, size=wx.Size(200, 100))
    def __init__(self, parent, id, pos, size, style, name):
        self._init_ctrls(parent)

Here is the parent Frame (modified from the BC-generated code):

#Boa:Frame:PyK2Main
import wx
def create(parent):
    return PyK2Main(parent)
[wxID_PYK2MAIN, wxID_PYK2MAINPLAYLISTPANEL, 
] = [wx.NewId() for _init_ctrls in range(2)]
class PyK2Main(wx.Frame):
    
    _custom_classes = {'wx.Panel': ['OLVPanel'],}
    
    def _init_ctrls(self, prnt):
        # generated method, don't edit
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, id=wxID_PYK2MAIN, name=u'PyK2Main', parent=prnt,
              pos=wx.Point(354, 140), size=wx.Size(1205, 760),
              style=wx.DEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE, title=u'PyK2')
        self.SetClientSize(wx.Size(1189, 724))
        self.PlaylistPanel = OLVPanel(id=wxID_PYK2MAINPLAYLISTPANEL,
              name=u'PlaylistPanel', parent=self, pos=wx.Point(0, 0),
              size=wx.Size(1189, 724), style=wx.TAB_TRAVERSAL)
        self.PlaylistPanel.SetBackgroundColour(wx.Colour(18, 213, 13))
    def __init__(self, parent):
        self._init_ctrls(parent)

When I try to run it, I get this error:

Can anybody help me please? Thank you!
