[Pythoncard-users] wxChoice stringSelection field

[Albert J. B. <Boe...@fa...>]

Hi,

I'd like to say that PythonCard has made my job of writing hardware
simulators pretty easy. Thanks for the software.

I do have a minor issue, though. I have an application which is using
PythonCard version: 0.8.1 and wxPython version: 2.5.3.1 on Windows. It
simulates output strings for a sensor and uses many "Choice" components.
I am using a timer to build and send an output string based on the
values of the GUI elements once a second.

The issue I am running into is that the "stringSelection" values are
read while the drop-down list is active and the highlighted value is
sent. I'd like to only send the value when an item has been selected;
until a different item has been selected, the original value should be
sent. Is there any simple way to do this? I've noticed that the ComboBox
doesn't do this, but I'd rather not use that if I can avoid it.

Thanks.

Sincerely,
Bert Boehmler
