[Pythoncard-users] getParent() AttributeError

[Cullen N. <cn...@sa...>]

So I have taken testNotebook.py and added some stuff.  in one of the 
child windows,  I have:
    def on_initialize(self, event):
        self.parent=self.getParent()

as mentioned in 
Python24/Lib/site-packages/PythonCard/docs/html/walkthrough3.html
this is what I get:
File 
"C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\InstrumentThing\testNotebook\CameraLinkTerminal.py", 
line 41, in on_initialize
self.parent=self.getParent()
    AttributeError: 'CameraLinkTerminal' object has no attribute 'getParent'

I also tried:
    self.parent=self.wx.Frame.GetParent()
and got:
    AttributeError: 'CameraLinkTerminal' object has no attribute 'wx'

I just need to get some variables from the parent, or if nothing else 
read the pages name.

Thanks,
Cullen

I'll try to answer your question, though you never bothered to comment 
on my suggested "solution"  to your earlier request concerning 
multilingual GUIs.

I doubt walkthrough3 has got nothing to do with tabsheets, though the 
term childwindow appears in tabsheet terminology also.

I had the same problem also. After a considerable number of hours 
wandering in total darkness I found the way that seems to work for me at 
least. In the initalizers for the individual tabsheets I do:
       # fr becomes the pointer to the wxframe window
       self.fr = self.GetParent().GetParent().GetParent()

Then in my code I can say
       self.fr.showMsg(0, 'Maximum points per item can only be given for 
test type 2')
when I want to use the message function showMsg defined in the "main" 
class which only has to know how to use the message field outside of the 
tab sheet area. Or:
       self.fr.maxPnts = 100
to set the value of the attribute maxPnts in the "main" class or:
       self.fr.test.readFromDisk(path)
to refer to an instance of a separate Test class to use its readFromDisk 
method.
