[Pythoncard-users] workaround for raising child windows in resourceEditor

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

I've come up with a potential solution to raising
child windows when the main window is selected in the
resourceEditor. This is actually a problem for any
PythonCard application with child windows, but seems
to be more of annoyance in the resourceEditor as the
Property Editor window is always being lost behind
other application windows.

You can just drop the following code into
resourceEditor.py and see whether this gives the
behavior you would expect. I would like to get some
feedback before I check it into cvs. If you have
overlapping windows, most likely because you're
working on a small screen, this solution of forcing a
Raise could be very annoying, so I would likely add a
menu item under Options that would allow you to
disable the Raise.

    def on_activate(self, event):
        if not hasattr(self, 'inActivate') or not
self.inActivate:
            self.inActivate = True
            for c in self.GetChildren():
                c.Raise()
            self.Raise()
            self.inActivate = False
        #event.skip()

On a related note, I never added lowercase aliases for
Raise and Lower to the Background class because I
wasn't sure if this would be legal since raise is a
keyword and we need it for raising exceptions. If
someone knows the correct syntax so that we can have a
lowercase alias to Raise I'll add it to the class;
perhaps I could just do a setattr or something?!

raise = wx.Frame.Raise
