[Pythoncard-devel] Raise/Lower and changing property editor list order

[Kevin A. <al...@se...>]

I've posted a question to the wx-users mailing list via gmane on the 
status of the Raise/Lower methods, so hopefully the post will go 
through and get a reply this week. Without those methods or some sort 
of substitute methods for changing z-order at runtime I don't see how 
the display in the resourceEditor can accurately reflect the running 
program z-order of components without recreating the components after 
every change to z-order.

During the "major problem on Mac with StaticBox" thread there was also 
discussion about changing the property editor component list display so 
that the list would be reversed to how it has always appeared in past 
versions of the resourceEditor. I've looked over the code a bit, and 
there doesn't appear to be as much code as I originally expected that 
would have to be modified to support this change. The crucial item is 
that the order of the actual components (self.components) is not 
impacted and that we continue to create the resource file with the same 
order used today.

It sounded to me from the folks responding to the thread that other 
programs they are familiar with put the "frontmost" widget at the 
bottom of the list and the top of the list is the "back". Anyway, I'm 
not changing anything until I get a decent answer on the Raise/Lower 
methods, but if you want to chime in on the issue, reply to this 
message.
