I found the issue and it was mine! I seems to be fine now. Suffice it to say that it's working as advertised. A lot of times just describing the issue helps to solve it. Thanks again for your input, Ed!

It seems that the setAll statement below is changing the Dynamic for the panel itself and not the children textboxes... def myPanel(dabo.ui.dPanel) def afterInitAll(self): self.setAll("DynamicForeColor",self.fieldForeColor,filt="BaseClass == dabo.ui.dTextBox") self.setAll("DynamicBackColor",self.fieldBackColor,filt="BaseClass == dabo.ui.dTextBox") UPDATE RAConvTextBox {'ForeColor': <bound method RAKiloPanel.fieldForeColor of <RAKiloPanel (baseclass dabo.ui.dPanel, id:-430)>>, 'BackColor': <bound method RAKiloPanel.fieldBackColor of <RAKiloPanel (baseclass dabo.ui.dPanel, id:-430)>>} What did I do wrong?

No, not really. I just tried with a similar case, and only got the one method firing. Try this: modify your dPemMixin.py file so that the update() method (around line 1139) looks like: 1139 def update(self): 1140 """Update the properties of this object and all contained objects.""" 1141 if isinstance(self, dabo.ui.deadObject): 1142 # This can happen if an object is released when there is a 1143 # pending callAfter() refresh. 1144 return 1145 1146 print "UPDATE", self.Name, self._dynamic 1147 self.__updateDynamicProps() 1148 1149 if isinstance(self, dabo.ui.dForm) and self.AutoUpdateStatusText: 1150 self.setStatusText(self.getCurrentRecordText()) 1151 1152 if self.Children: 1153 self.raiseEvent(dEvents.Update) Afterwards, run your code an you should get a bunch of statements printing out. What I'm thinking is that perhaps the internal attribute self._dynamic, which holds the dictionary of dynamic properties, is not getting updated properly. Post the output so that I can better see what is going on. -- Ed Leafe -- http://leafe.com -- http://dabodev.com [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-users Searchable Archives: http://leafe.com/archives/search/dabo-users This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/dabo-users/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
