[Pythoncard-users] childWindow.Raise() works on Windows, not on Mac

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

The Raise method for a child window seems not to work on the Mac, but does 
work under Windows. On the Mac, the child window starts to pop in front of 
the parent window, but then it withdraws behind. From looking at message 
watcher, It's almost as if the second click in my doubleclick is bringing 
the parent window forward. 

Is there something else I should be doing other than Raise(), or is this a 
bug?

Here is the method runs when I doubleclick my multicolumnlist:

        def on_empMultiColumnList_itemActivated(self, event):
                """When an entry is double clicked"""
                indexClicked = event.m_itemIndex
                base = self.components
                rows = base.empMultiColumnList.GetSelectedItems()
                if len(rows) == 0:
                        return
                print rows
                id_emp = rows[0][0]
                empDetail.id_emp = id_emp
                self.detailWindow = 
model.childWindow(self,empDetail.bgEmpDetail)
                self.detailWindow.populateFields(id_emp)
                self.detailWindow.Raise() 


I'm running PythonCard .81, wxPython 2.5.4.1, Python 2.3, Mac OS 10.3.8.

Hi Brad, 

You need to put the raise method in a method of  the  childWindow.
I'm on XP, and calling the childWindow's raise method from the
originating method as above never works for me.

i.e.

def on_empMultiColumnList_itemActivated(self, event): 
   #Do stuff to derive id_emp
   childWindow = model.childWindow(self, empDetail.bgEmpDetail) 
   childWindow.id_emp = id_emp
    

and in empDetail - 

class bgEmpDetail(model.Background):
          def on_initialise(self, event):
                #This will need explaining
                self.popuulateFields(self.id_emp)
                self.Raise()

See, what happens is that when a child window is created, the method
that created finishes before the child window's on_initialise gets
called.

At the mo, my thing with childWindow.id_emp = id_emp is the only way
of passing other parameters to the on_initialise() method.

So, you can pass the parameters in, and then your child windows
initialisation can act on them.

And, sticking Raise() in the child windows init method fixed your
problem for me.


I hope it helps. If it's confusing at all, let me know and I'll try
and explanify further.

Liam Clarke

Thanks; I will try that. It does make more sense to do that from the child 
window.  I had the same problem with not being able to pass a parameter to 
the init method of the child window.

Re: [Pythoncard-users] childWindow.Raise() works on Windows, not on Mac

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

I have a question about this approach. It does work, but I don't 
understand it as well 
as I'd like and I worry that it depends too much on timing. When does the 
child 
window's on_initialize run? What if on a really fast computer it runs 
before the 
childWindow.id_emp is bound?
