1st off, thanks to the developers of dabo. I'm a n00b to python, wxpython and
dabo. With the help of this forum and the step by step guide I have managed
to get everything in said guide working as expected. I've even managed some
simple modifications as I learn dabo et al. There's one modification I just
can't wrap my head around that I will want to use once I start developing my
own app.
Here's the problem. In the step by step the input field for stateprov is
currently set to a dTextBox. I would like to change this to a dDropdownList.
I don't want to set up another db table just to do this (I've got populating
a drop down from the db down no problem). I just want a static drop down
list that will add the selected state from the drop down list to the
stateprov field of the client table of the database (MySQL) on save. (one
mod I managed was an Add Client form)
I've looked at the test in the uiwx/dDropdownList.py file and have created
the following via the CD. The code is located in the ClientAddForm-code.py
file:
def afterInit(self):
#def initProperties(self): ## Commented out
locations = ({"state": "Ak", "iid": 1},
{"state": "Ga", "iid": 2},
{"state": "Tx", "iid": 3})
choices = []
keys = {}
for location in locations:
choices.append("%s" % (location['state']))
keys[location["iid"]] = len(choices) - 1
self.Choices = choices
self.Keys = keys
self.ValueMode = "key"
The drop list with choices displays in the form no problem, but when I save
to the database the selection is not added to the stateprov field.
H E L P ! ! !
Thanks in advance
Carey
