Re: [dabo-users] Parent and child grid from the same table
That makes sense. Thank you for the explanation. I like your approach to building frameworks. Dabo seems very clean. Is your SVN tree usually pretty stable, or should I be wary about using it in production?

The sqlite command line interface accepts any case for field names. If it is getting passed to the interpreter correctly, the case shouldn't matter. I see the same behavior (FieldNotFoundException) with 'rowid', which is an SQLite alias for the PRIMARY KEY field. Any idea on why Dabo doesn't like it? Because the UI is not connected to the DB layer. The binding from UI to bizobj to DB is pure Python; the only connection to the DB is at one extreme of the spectrum. DataField and bizobj binding and cursor fields are all at the Python layer, and thus case-sensitive. Dabo is also backend-agnostic in all but the far end of the DB layer, so database-specific behaviors such as PK aliases don't have any effect inside the framework. -- Ed Leafe ___ Post Messages to: Dabo-users@leafe.com 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/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Generally, yes, it's fairly stable, although we have had a few commits that broke things. Those are usually cleaned up pretty quickly, but they can be a pain when they happen. We have a feature called WebUpdate that it is a good compromise between formal release and bleeding-edge repository versions. What this is a series of snapshots that are taken between releases that push out new features and bug fixes when we are satisfied that the code is solid enough. Unfortunately, we are currently in the middle of a series of rather major changes in anticipation of our 0.9 release. There has been some compatibility breaks (i.e., we no longer support Python 2.3 and wxPython earlier than 2.8), as well as some serious code cleanup. Once 0.9 is released, WebUpdate will once again be available. WebUpdate can be configured to check for updates automatically, or only when you choose to check. -- Ed Leafe ___ Post Messages to: Dabo-users@leafe.com 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/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

You can't simply print python unicode objects to stdout.
Just change your wrapper that it works like
sys.stdout.write(u'äöü'.encode('utf-8'))

[dabo-users] Resizable proportion
Okay, I'm going to swallow my pride and ask for help again. This time is worse because I'm pretty sure it's a newbie question. I think I'm struggling to find the answer because I don't know the terminology yet (it's like trying to look up the spelling of a word in the dictionary). In my little application, I have a vertical sizer with a gridlist on the left and a grid sizer on the right. I want the user to be able to grab the border between the two slots, and resize by dragging left or right. This would dynamically change the proportion between the two slots. I know it's possible because the Object Info dialog of the Class Designer does it between the property list and the description text box (except that one is horizontal). I've hunted around the ClassDesigner and don't see anything that appears to work. I tried consulting the ClassDesigner source in the IDE directory, It's hard to follow given that it's a hand-coded UI instead of using the ClassDesigner XML. I think I prefer hand-assembling the dialog, but I'm still learning the API and I'm on a deadline. I tried Googleing wxWidgets, wxPython, and Dabo, but I must not be using the right words. I also searched Dabo-users. Would someone please beat me with a clue stick?

[dabo-users] AttributeError: 'controlMix' object has no attribute 'ControllingSizer'
I've been having a problem since I updated from SVN this evening. Once I load
my form into ClassDesigner and make a change, I can no longer run my
application, save my form, or close cleanly the ClassDesigner.
I can duplicate the problem with a clean form as soon as I add a DataGrid to
the horizontal sizer. Removing the DataGrid makes the problem go away. The
GridList appears to work fine.
Google says that someone posted the same error to the mailing list in 2006,
but I couldn't find a response.
Here is the last few lines of my traceback:
line 253, in getDesignerDict
ret[children] = self.getChildrenPropDict(classDict)

How best can I determine if the problem is on my side, or if a fix is
necessary in the framework?
