[Pythoncard-users] multiColumnList line number selected

[<bra...@om...>]

I'd like to capture the line number the user doubleclicks in a 
multiColumnList. I guess this would happen on the event "itemActivated", 
but what is the name of the method that returns the line number selected 
by the user? I didn't see anything in the source code for class 
MultiColumnList. I looked a the docs for wxListCtrl, but didn't see any 
help there either.

Hints?

Thanks!

Hi Brad, 


for a multicolumnlist called MCL, because I'm boring - 

def on_MCL_itemActivated(self, event):
     wasSelected = self.components.MCL.getStringSelection()[0]

will return the list(line) that was clicked on.

To get an actual index for it, use - 

def on_MCL_itemActivated(self, event):
     selectedIndex = event.m_itemIndex


I trawled through the wxPython multicolumnlist demo code to find that.
Remember, 90% of the wxPython tricks you need are in the demo, it's
just the knack of finding them.
Only reason I found that is I noticed that when you click an item in
that demo it prints stuff like this -

OnItemSelected: 5, Billy Joel, Blonde Over Blue, Rock

So yeah... good luck, Pythoncard is great, and very flexible, and it's
not that often you have to revert to the wx stuff.

Aha! Thanks. That is what I needed.

I think I missed that because multicolumnexample.py doesn't 
print out that index. After I did more digging I found it
in the minimalList.py, which does print the index.
When I went looking for info about MultiColumnList, I didn't
think to look in the minimalList sample...

Yes, but it's nice to know that you can when you need to. I'm not
ready to climb the learning curve for wxPython right now, so
yes, this is great.

Sorry, the wxPython demo is different to the Pythoncard demos.

Pythoncard is built on top of wxPython (which is built on top of wx),
and sometimes you need to use wxPython methods, either because
Pythoncard doesn't cover your need yet, or you want to bend some
widget some funny way.

http://www.wxpython.org/download.php

Download it just for the demo. The wxPython demo covers every wx
widget, and is the primary source of python documentation for the wx
library.

I don't suppose there is a way to accomplish this same goal with a simple 
dialog.singleChoiceDialog. I did a dir on the result of 
singleChoiceDialog, but didn't see anything that looked promising. I could 
work backward by searching the list for the matching string, but that 
seems kludgy.

Thanks...

Why not just bind each string to a particular function in a dict?
