[Pythoncard-users] setting radiogroup items dynamically?

[Alec B. <wry...@gm...>]

I'm guessing this isn't possible in Pythoncard, since calling, for example:

self.components.myradiogroup.items = ['choice1', 'choice2']

returns NotImplementedError.

Is there some other way to set the radiogroup items dynamically?

Very embarrassingly, I can't try this out right now, but you might get 
it to work as

self.components.myradiogroup.SetItemLabel(1,'choice1')
self.components.myradiogroup.SetItemLabel(2,'choice2')
etc.

I wound up making the window in pure wxPython. Which got me to thinking: a
nice and relatively easy way to extend the power of PythonCard would be to
document integration with it and pure WX. In other words, how to add
components from WX to your PythonCard app.

With that in mind I made a couple of additions to this Wiki page:

http://wiki.wxpython.org/PythonCardTricks

I added:

- "How do I launch a pure WX window from a PythonCard app?" and

- "How do I make my PythonCard app minimize to the system tray?"

I've seen a couple of other examples describing minimizing to the system
tray, but nothing very complete. And obviously if anyone notices problems
with those tutorials, please update or let me know.

Maybe someone could post instructions for adding, say, a radiogroup from
pure python to a PythonCard app? Or if someone knows of some existing
documentation for doing things like this?

I added a sample called 'sysTray' to the PythonCard CVS tree quite a 
while ago. Unfortunately this was after the release of 0.8.2, so my code 
is still just in CVS, but I can upload a copy to my web site if anyone 
is interested - just reply here and let me know.

I tested it on WinXP and Linux (using KDE) and ended up very pleased 
with it, despite almost tearing my hair out with a couple of issues that 
took much Google-fu and experimenting to resolve. :-)

Thanks Alec....this is something I need to do in the near future to tack 
a custom print dialog window onto a PythonCard front-end (to a legacy 
Win32 application....phew!), so your example is most welcome.

Just tried that on my laptop and it works, with the proviso that you 
can't use this method to change the number of items in the group, i.e. 
if we tried to add a 3rd radio button by doing:

self.components.myradiogroup.SetItemLabel(3, 'choice3')

then this gets ignored.
