It isn't difficult at all. "look at http://svn.dabodev.com/trac/dabodemo/browser/trunk/DaboDemo/DaboDemo.cdxml#L311 where it says designerClass="controlMix" which you can set in the CD by click click click type type type." And maybe some disclaimer about how that may not be what they need. Of course you have to have such an example to refer to, which will be more work at first as the examples get created. In this case, I think the work will be reused quit a bit. > >> If it doesn't exist in the demos, it might be worth adding. This >> one sure seems >> worth adding.

Take what I posted here: http://leafe.com/archives/showMsg/349197 Remove the need for cdxml2objDemo1-code.py by adding what is needed to the button: <dButton sizerInfo="{'BorderSides': ['All'], 'Proportion': 0, 'HAlign': 'Center', 'VAlign': 'Middle', 'Border': 0, 'Expand': False}" code-ID="dButton-dForm" designerClass="controlMix" Caption="Swap" /> so that it calls frm.myObj1.swap() If there is a better way to setup myObj1, you are perfectly free to code it better. Even if this isn't wasn't what the OP's had in mind, it sure seems like it would be useful, and it may be a better solution than what they hand in mind. > Don't > you think that that's about as deep and as mysterious to understand > as 'self.Form'? They are both deep and as mysterious. and I don't see how that alone helps:: > I would rather include it within my program > rather than as part of the cdxml file. Where and how is all i need to know. Speaking of self.Form, I remember you saying there were a set of shortcuts which ended with "etc"- I have no clue what the full set is, what exactly they are shortcuts to, or where the code is that implements them - seeing the code would be a good start for understanding what they do and creating some docs.
