[Pythoncard-users] RadioGroup/ComboBox -- documentation error?

[Aaron S. <az...@bu...>]

Hi,

Whilst reviewing the documentation here:
http://pythoncard.sourceforge.net/framework/components/RadioGroup.html
http://pythoncard.sourceforge.net/framework/components/ComboBox.html

In both cases the documentation states that there is an attribute called
"selected".
In fact, there is not! The only way that I can see to access the
selection is using the list and the item index into the list. 
        # this call fails -- no attribute 'selected'
        # print self.components.radFavoriteDrink.selected # item

            
	  # this works, using list and index
        items = self.components.radFavoriteDrink.items         # list
        selection = self.components.radFavoriteDrink.selection # index
	  print "Favorite drink is", items[selection] 

The same thing is true with the ComboBox. Am I mistaken, or is the
documentation wrong?

I've also found that this approach seems to be more reliable than the
documentation:

        for component in self.components.iterkeys():
            print component, "->",type(self.components[component])
		print "\t",dir(type(self.components[component]))

Any thoughts?

Best,
Aaron
