I like how Ed explained the pageframe. But I think it might help if I explain
how I use the pageframe.
I like to create classes based on a dPanel (you have a panel anyway to get the
tab to work):
class AddressPanel(dabo.ui.dPanel):
Then in the method afterInit of my class I add my controls.
def afterInit(self):
self.Sizer = dabo.ui.dSizer("h")
vs = dabo.ui.dSizer("v")
#Create the Contact information block
gs = dabo.ui.dGridSizer(MaxCols=4,HGap=3, VGap=3
etc....
of course you add any additional methods as required for the class.
Next I create a class to hold my pageframes
class MainPanelFrames(dabo.ui.dPanel):
def afterInit(self):
self.Sizer = vs = dabo.ui.dSizer("v")
pageFrame = pgf = dabo.ui.dPageFrame(self)
pgf.RegID= "FormPG"
pgf.appendPage(pgCls=AddressPanel, caption="Information")
# don't forget to add to the sizer
vs.append(pgf, 0,"x") # proportion=0, layout=expand)
I give my self a RedID for the pageframe in case I need a way to call
something on the pages
And last I add the MainPanelFrames to the MainForm
self.Sizer.append1x(MainPanel(self))
What this does is allow me to segment my code and therefore it is very easy to
change code as required.
