Repeated for others who may not have followed the earlier discussion. Since I am opening a new thread. > Why not use the alternatives I proposed? Why limit yourself to > considering only these two options? Ed, I asked for help because I thought something was wrong with Larry's approach. I believe I got the same two suggestions I offered. Today was the first time you offered something different - at least I understand it differently. > I must say it seems frustrating when I've offered several possible >solutions that were never tried, even after I explained your > misconceptions about what I was proposing. In correct, we did try what we understood to be your suggestions. I did not follow Larry's lead without protest and without other attempts. And I spent time attempting what you were suggesting. I could have been me but then again it was also Larry that mis-understood. And in the end both of us were un-successful. You said it yourself in your last email to Larry - we didn't understand. > A call to a method is just as fast when that method is doing the >same thing. Calling a method in the table is no faster than calling >the exact same method in the bizobj. Yes I agree but that is not issue with bizobj's. As explained by Larry other baggage is included with bizobj's. Such as having Dabo review the bizobj for every update. But I believe the DataSet approach should have worked although I did not make it happen (at least not easily). >Again, dGridDataTable is a wxPython-specific implementation detail, >and should not be used unless a) you want to always use wxPython and >b) you know what you're doing.

The whole point of consolidating formatting logic in a >central place is to avoid this sort of duplication. Exactly! BTW : Everything you have responded to was just a "lead in" into the real question. What about creating a way to define a function for a cell? So what do you think of providing an easy interface to defining a cell with a function??? I think your last suggestion to Larry should work but it's requires that developer have insight (training). So I'd like your thoughts (or others can add their .02) on making it easier. -- John Fabiani _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-users Searchable Archives: http://leafe.com/archives/search/dabo-users This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/dabo-users/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
