Good to know.

Ups! The pseudo-code is working just fine all it needed was an extra line
calling the refresh method of each grid so as to update the ui.
On the other hand how do you propose that the pageframe's SelectedPage property
would be used. Something like this or do you have something else in mind:
def onNew(self, evt):
# not using any RegID's for the Pages
# using RegID's for the grids
pg = self.dPageFrame.SelectedPage
if pg.Name == "pgAuthorLst":
self.getBizobj('author').new()
self.grdAuthorLst.refresh()
elif pg.Name == "bookLst":
self.getBizobj('book').new()
self.grdBookLst.refresh()
The only differences I see with this approach are:
* not using any RegID's for the Pages
* using RegID's for the grids
Is there any real difference between one method and the other?

Good point! Never argue against the Python Mantra ;-)

Once again thanks.
