ive been trying to do a test for type with wxpython objects like
passing in a wx.TextCtrl into def XXX(obj) if type(obj) is type(self.Button) I have to make an object self.Button to get its type. as I tried is type("wx.Button") which didnt work. trouble is the button must have a parent, which appears on the frame (Ill try to get rid of it) but I should be able to use text to set the type Ive tried "wx._controls.TextCtrl" which didnt work any hints welcome btw Im newbie to python, coming from Java and I reckon its cool and sleek and coming from java Swing, I reckon wxPython is probably better -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
