So then the proper place is to import in the "afterInitAll" for each and every form? That seems wrong to me. I'm back to where is my universal way to get my classes into the app. I'm still looking for "set classlib additive" and have access from any form. So if I do place an import statement into each form will I end up with multi copies of myclass in memory or just one? As I currently understand it python checks to see if the module is in memory and uses it. Is that right? OK maybe I need to hand code this. So would one you please provide a simple hand coded example that opens a form, then calls a form from an event or form function. The form does not need to be anything special - just a textbox with a button to call the second form. Added question: Is there a utility that converts cdxml files to python wxPthon code and allows me to save the code to a file? -- John Fabiani _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-dev
