wxAUI & wxPropertyGrid

Hi There,
i have two Questions:

1. What's with support for wxAUI in BoaConstructor? Is there a way to  
handle this?

2. How can i customize Boa to use the wxPropertyGrid which is not inlcuded  
in wxPyton by default?

Thank you very much in advance,

Stefan

Don't know, but it would be nice.

See also point 2 answer.

Have a look at the attached or at UserCompanions.plug-in.py and at all 
the files in companions folder.

Then try to create a plug-in file for wxPropertyGrid and/or wxAUI.

If you get it working there is a big chance that Riaan will include it 
in Boa.

Problems Boa-Constructor StatictTxt Redimension

Friends Boa_Constructor

A problem was happening with my designer frame.
When I open a new frame and put into then a static.txt and close it and 
reopen, the static.txt takes all the frame.
Even I redesigner it, the dimension cames back again. This is happing in 
the boa-constructor running in Linux, Fedora or Ubuntu.
Another thing. When I cut and paste anything in the frame, i can't 
redimesion the new thing. It is a bug???
How could I fixed it??

That is standard wxPython behaviour.

Please also note if you want to ensure that your app looks nicely on 
windows you should first add a wx.Panel and then put your controls onto 
the panel.

Not sure about that one.  I seem to recall that there was some issue on 
Linux, but I am not sure.

Are you using fixed sizes or are you using sizers?  If you use fixed 
sizes I would suggest to use sizers, they are a bit more difficult to 
learn but they are worth it.

absolute sizes

Boa is great, and the new version does fix some things that were
incredibly irritating (like not recognizing # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
).

However my biggest problem is the forced use of fixed sizes for
widgets. I develop for, and in, a multiplatform environment (ubuntu,
2000, XP). This makes wxPython perfect. However, since boa can't
handle wx.Size(-1, -1) or wx.DefaultSize, I'm eternally stuck
designing the app in windows (my primary workstation is ubuntu) and
then editing them with gedit to remove all the size values, but then
of course it won't work with boa anymore. BTW, I remove them because
if I use (-1,-1) and I open it up in boa, it gets set to whatever size
it likes for that platform.

Looking through the boa sources (0.5.2), all I see are absolute sizes.
In my view, this is a fundamental design flaw for an application that
is (supposedly) cross platform. I say "supposedly" because if you use
boa under GTK you have to agree the experience is far below the level
of usability of the windows version.

Are you planning on addressing this in the next release? Would you
accept patches regarding this issue?

My workaround for this is a little utility function:

def FixDefaultSize(window):
     if isinstance(window, wx.lib.masked.numctrl.NumCtrl) or\
        isinstance(window, wx.lib.masked.textctrl.TextCtrl) or\
        isinstance(window, wx.lib.masked.combobox.ComboBox):
##        window.SetMinSize(wx.DefaultSize)
         return
     window.SetMinSize(wx.DefaultSize)
     for child in window.GetChildren():
         FixDefaultSize(child)
     window.Layout()
     window.Refresh()

Exist some gui, a visual interface, like boa to configure a report using

Not that I know of, but are you aware of ReportManager?  I use it, it 
has a nice GUI, is pretty powerful, comes with lots of db connections 
options and there is a Python wrapper to run reports from you wxPython 
application.

Re: A visual interface to write reports with reportlab

It looks like there has been no activity in that project for what, 5 years 
now?

For a moment you got me going, I wondered why Toni (author of RepMan) 
would think there has been no activity:)

http://sourceforge.net/project/stats/?group_id=51737&ugn=reportman

I never look at the sourceforge project home page as it seems that dates 
on there do not get updated.

Check the above link or check the download section, but even here you 
have to watch out, e.g. RepMan 2.6 has a 2006-06-04, however some of the 
sub-releases are much more recent.
