OK, I think I have a handle on this. First, I think that you can't
create a form and then convert it to a child form; it has to be
created that way. Second, there is no way to pass the parent
information, or any other properties for that matter. Third, even if
you could pass properties to createForm(), the attProperties defined
in the cdxml file would take precedence.
I'm working to change this. Passing the parent information was
pretty easy, but changing the attProperty import is a bit more
involved. I have to run a bunch of tests to make sure that it works
as expected. With luck, expect a fix later today. This will allow you
to use:
frm = dabo.ui.createForm(filename, parent=app.MainForm)
frm.show()
P.S. - note the use of lower-case 'show()', which is the Dabo
version, instead of the title-case 'Show()' which is the wxPython
method. You should always call the Dabo versions of methods, since
they may have additional logic that the wxPython version does not.
