[Pythoncard-users] Resource Editor - Choice Component - Update String Selection doesn't work

[<gre...@co...>]

Minor bug?  Maybe this was already fixed in the latest version?  Below 
is the code generated by the resource editor.  You can use it to 
replicate the bug, but any example should work.

Actually, it seems to only happen with numbers as items.  Also I typed 
them as [1,2,3] in the resource editor field.  Maybe it's required to 
do, ['1','2','3'] ?

You didn't say what the bug was before, but I assume you mean that the=20=

items in the list are strings? If so, yes, the items in the list must=20
be strings for all the components that have an items list attribute.=20
Use str() and int() to convert back and forth in your code if you need=20=

to work with integers internally, but display them as strings in the=20
components.

If you wanted to use stringSelection to select the item '3' in the list=20=

then you would do something like:

self.components.Choice1.stringSelection =3D '3'

but if you wanted to select the item by its numeric position in the=20
list, remember to use an integer as well as that the list is=20
zero-based, like most things in Python.

self.components.Choice1.selection =3D 2

Sorry, I forgot to describe the bug.  This is a specific problem only 
with the resource editor.

Basically what happens is I open resource editor, select 'Choice' (or 
'Combobox'), then I go to the properties window, select items, type in 
[1,2,3] (or ['1','2','3'] either causes it), click update, then I go to 
stringselection, press the drop down button and see 1,2,3.  I choose 1, 
and nothing seems to happen, then I hit update, and still nothing 
happens.  Finally I hit save and code is generated without a 
stringselection specified.

Does that explain it better?

Yep, that's a real bug. Line 205 of=20
resourceEditor/modules/propertyEditor.py should be:

         if propName not in ['label', 'stringSelection', 'text',=20
'toolTip']:

and line 364 should be:

         if propName in ['label', 'stringSelection', 'text', 'toolTip']=20=

or propName in checkItems:
