Re: [Pythoncard-users] Trouble with Pythoncard implementation?

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

I'm not entirely sure what behavior you want. I suspect you just want 
to call the setFocus() method on the component you want to select. 
Also, I wouldn't think that you need to use a mouseDown handler, why 
not just handle the check in the mouseClick?

There is no wrapper of the wxPython validation code in the PythonCard 
framework at this time, but I'm guessing it is possible to just call 
the wxPython code directly for validation. I haven't used a validator 
myself, so I don't know for sure.
