dGrid and DataType="list" question

Rate this Message:
Hello
I see references to dGrid and Columns having a DataType="list". One maillist entry referred to the Wiki for assistance on setting this up. I haven't been able to find the Wiki entry. So my question is, If I am using Class Designer, how do I set up a dGrid column to be a lookup list? Can someone point me in the right direction? Thank you Paul McNary pmcnary@... _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: Dabo-users@...

The dGrid test does a deop-down color picker. Do: cd dabo/dabo/ui/uiwx python dGrid.py and then look at the test code at the bottom of dGrid.py.

This is an area that isn't well documented. Here are the definitions from dGrid.py: mac:~/dabo/dabo/ui/uiwx pmcnett$ grep -i 'self\..*editorclass \=' dGrid.py self.stringEditorClass = wx.grid.GridCellTextEditor self.wrapStringEditorClass = wx.grid.GridCellAutoWrapStringEditor self.boolEditorClass = wx.grid.GridCellBoolEditor self.intEditorClass = wx.grid.GridCellNumberEditor self.longEditorClass = wx.grid.GridCellNumberEditor self.decimalEditorClass = wx.grid.GridCellNumberEditor self.floatEditorClass = wx.grid.GridCellFloatEditor self.listEditorClass = wx.grid.GridCellChoiceEditor #self.listEditorClass = GridListEditor Mostly, you don't need to know about the normal ones, as Dabo will choose the correct editor based on the datatype of the column.

It's not a property exposed in the prop sheet, so it should probably go in the afterInit() method of the grid. -- Ed Leafe _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: Dabo-users@...

For now the only list type is the GridCellChoiceEditor, which is tied to listEditorClass? I think I understand now.

Yes, the left side of the '=' is the CustomEditorClass property of the dColumn object. What's on the right is an attribute of the dColumn object set up in dColumn's __init__ for your convenience. However, we (the Dabo developers) need to make this a bit better. There should be IMO a static list of possible choices, documented in the dColumn property api docs. I'll see about doing that soon. Here are the relevant api docs, btw: http://paul.dabodev.com/doc/api/dabodoc/dabo.ui.uiwx.dGrid.dColumn.html http://paul.dabodev.com/doc/api/dabodoc/dabo.ui.uiwx.dGrid.dColumn.html#Properties_CustomEditorClass Paul _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: Dabo-users@...

That's what I get for responding on the fly! I find myself surmising what I'm doing differently in my code. I've never found a need for afterInitAll().

Right now I really don't want to hand code unless I have to. To get done what I have to get done I need RAD tools like Class Designer. I don't know Python except at a beginner's level. I don't want to deal with Tier 1 and 3 except with RAD tools. Now Tier 2, Biz objects that's what I deal with the best and you guys have made it so that the drudgery of the UI code is fast and painless with Class Designer, when the learning curve is over, and there are all the RAD tools you could ever want for the Database Tier. So having to do things, to have most of the UI done for me with a GUI RAD tool, in different places is worth it. So if I find I can stick something in afterInitAll() and it works without a gigantic performance hit, I'm going to choose that way. The great thing is Dabo let's you do it your way and I can do it my way. The philosophical differences between you and Ed, about this subject has been excellent reading on the web sites and mailing lists. It creates a much better product. Thanks again for the nice framework and tools Paul McNary pmcnary@... _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: Dabo-users@...
