Which is another i-layer kinda thing, which I don't see how to do. Not
anything
like the dbCarl.py thing anyway.
Lets say I just want MouseMiddleClick to put the letter X in the control (I'll
worry about X-selection and the InsertionPosition later.) How do I make that
happen?
I am guessing I only want to hit dEditBox and dTextBox. If there is a simple
way to hit both with one bit of code, fine. otherwise lets just use dTextBox.
Somewhere I need to put self.value='x'.
Here are some of the things I found:
dDataControlMixin.py:
didn't see anything relevant.
dTextBox.py
class dTextBox(dcm.dDataControlMixin, wx.TextCtrl):
# uiwx/dPemMixin.py
def __onWxMouseMiddleUp(self, evt):
self.raiseEvent(dEvents.MouseMiddleUp, evt)
if self._mouseMiddleDown:
# mouse went down and up in this control: send a click:
self.raiseEvent(dEvents.MouseMiddleClick, evt)
self._mouseMiddleDown = False
I went looking in SimpleFormWithBizobj.py and hit the FieldSpec stuff, so I am
guessing that is not a good example.
What is currently the best demo to start with?
