[Pythoncard-users] Further games with FindFiles

[normanwinn <nor...@on...>]

Hi,

Since my last post on doing on this I have made opening the resource 
editor optional. If a checkbox is checked and the file looks like a 
resource file then it is opened in the resource editor. If unchecked it 
is opened in the code editor.

I then went on to see if I could highlight the search results. Using 
FindFiles to go code shopping I found the the 'redemo.py' implements 
this very nicely. So, feeling brave, I started to cut and paste the 
necessary functions into my version of FindFiles and alter the component 
names accordingly. Finally got it running but bumped into the problem 
that List component has no text attribute. Tried using a TextArea 
component instead but this lacks the attributes of a list.

Clearly, I need the functionality of a List but with a text attribute. I 
notice there are various ListBox controls in wxPython but I am too young 
in PythonCard to try to weave my own component,
