RE: [Pythoncard-users] Multicolumn List Questions...

[Schollnick, B. <Ben...@xe...>]

 |  Even if you do it in a loop after the data is loaded (equivalent to
my second timed-test) it will still be faster than going through =20
|  the self.components.MultiColumnList.items[x][0] loop.=20
=20
Why is there a speed penalty in looping through the Items loop?=20
=20
|  It did get kind of lost - I assumed that you did the SetFocus to
overcome it ....=20
=20
I tried it, but I couldn't find heads or tails on the SetFocus
documentation from wxPython....
And it appears to be for setting the focus on a group/item, not on a
element in a list.

|  The wxPython doc for ListCtrl say you can use EnsureVisible - and I
verified it by adding to my version of the sample
|     self.components.theList.EnsureVisible(itemidx)=20
=20
I searched, but must of missed that....=20

[Remember - PythonCard is just a layer over wxPython, you can generally
look in the wxPython docs and call those functions listed there for the
underlying control. You'll get faster turn-around on questions by
looking up the docs yourself than waiting for me to happen to read email
- 'cause all I do then is look at the docs, or at the source for the
sample and/or the components/multicolumn.py  :-)    =20
=20
Except for the fact that I couldn't find EnsureVisible....  I'm not very
happy with wxPython documentation...  It's usable, but I prefer the
layout of the Python docs... =20
=20
Either way, it's working now...  Is the WIKI open to everyone?  I'm
considering trying my hands at adding some of these to the Pythoncard
wiki...
