Re: [Pythoncard-users] childWindow.Raise() works on Windows, not on Mac

[Liam C. <cy...@gm...>]

Hi Brad, 

You need to put the raise method in a method of  the  childWindow.
I'm on XP, and calling the childWindow's raise method from the
originating method as above never works for me.

i.e.

def on_empMultiColumnList_itemActivated(self, event): 
   #Do stuff to derive id_emp
   childWindow = model.childWindow(self, empDetail.bgEmpDetail) 
   childWindow.id_emp = id_emp
    

and in empDetail - 

class bgEmpDetail(model.Background):
          def on_initialise(self, event):
                #This will need explaining
                self.popuulateFields(self.id_emp)
                self.Raise()

See, what happens is that when a child window is created, the method
that created finishes before the child window's on_initialise gets
called.

At the mo, my thing with childWindow.id_emp = id_emp is the only way
of passing other parameters to the on_initialise() method.

So, you can pass the parameters in, and then your child windows
initialisation can act on them.

And, sticking Raise() in the child windows init method fixed your
problem for me.


I hope it helps. If it's confusing at all, let me know and I'll try
and explanify further.

Liam Clarke
