[Pythoncard-users] dot dot notation for widget font attribute

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

Patrick worked some more magic and added "dot dot" support to the Font
class, so it is now legal to do something like:

self.components.field1.font.size = 12

Previously you would have needed to get the font first, change the font
size, then set the font of the widget. Obviously the notation above is what
you would expect, so it is great to see it working.

The same kind of "dot dot" magic will be required for other classes or
complex mutable types like the items list for Choice, List, and RadioGroup
if we want dot notation to work consistently.

This change is in cvs which impacted font.py and widget.py, feel free to
play around with it. The only thing important to remember now is that there
is a one to one relationship between a Font instance and a widget because
the Font keeps track of the widget as its parent.
