[Pythoncard-users] Trouble with Pythoncard implementation?

[Schollnick, B. <Ben...@us...>]

Folks,

	I am running into a issue, that I am having difficulty solving.
	(This is my first Pythoncard application....)

	I have the "start" button on my application currently wired to
	check and validate the information given to the application...

--snip--
    def on_BTN_start_activity_mouseDown ( self, event):
        self.operation = self.components.RAD_Operation.selected
        self.servers    = self.components.LIST_Servers.selected
        self.simulation = self.components.CHECK_Simulation.checked == 1
        self.configfile = self.components.TXT_cfile.text

        if self.configfile == "" or self.servers == "":
            bas_wxpython.wxPython_Alert_Dialog ( wxapp = self,
title="Alert!", msg_text="Please specify a configuration file and a server
to process." )
#            wxPython.wx.EVT_SET_FOCUS (self, 
            return ''
        
        if not(self.configfile == "" or self.servers==""):
#            print self.operation
#            print self.servers
#            print self.simulation
#            print self.configfile

            cmd_line = sys.argv[0]
            
            if self.simulation: cmd_line = cmd_line + " -t"
		.....
		.....
		.....
---snip---

	But if I return the focus is still on the button for "start
activity",
	and if you click on anything, the application will not change the
focus
	away from the "start activity" button.  So Pythoncard believes you
	are clicking on "start activity", and report the error again.

	I was thinking of using the wxPython setfocus, but that appears to
be
	fairly complex?

	Any suggestions on fixing this the "right" way, or a simple way?

	Alternatively, anyone have any focus setting samples?

	I did not see any validation code on the pythoncard site, so I
presume
	that there is not a "pythoncard" method for validation?  (I might of
missed
	it.....???)
