What's the different use of both? self.super() was a hack that was designed to make VFP developers a little more comfortable in Python. The second form is the correct way to call superclass behavior. > 2) in b), is it really necessary to use it? I thought > initProperties() was a user's method. Generally, this should be strictly user-defined code, so it isn't necessary. It won't hurt, though. > ii) And now the original question.

I was thinking of an __init__(self, > myList, *args, **kw): and then call super(pnlMyPanel, self).__init__(self, > *args, **kw). Would that be right? Is there a better way? Assuming that 'pnlMyPanel' is the *class* name, and not the instance name, yes, that would be correct. FWIW, class names are generally TitleCased in Python. -- Ed Leafe _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: Dabo-users@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-users Searchable Archives: http://leafe.com/archives/search/dabo-users This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/4a3e8744-5e73-4875-92f9-7b3d053b5...@leafe.com
