Let me answer the second part first. To make imports available to
all the code in a Class Designer class, click on the 'Manage Imports'
button of the code editor. Any 'import' statements will then be made
in the proper namespace so that they can be used in your methods.
For the first part, you can approach this several ways. One would be
to make the function a method of the form, and call it from, say, the
button code using 'self.Form.updateEditBox(fpath)'. Or you could add
it as a separate .py file in the same folder, and using the 'Manage
Imports' button to import that .py file using 'from commonFuncs
import updateEditBox' or something similar. Finally, you could use
the 'Manage Imports' to add the function to the code as part of the
header, along with the import statements.
