Ah, I'm used to documentation that documents the entire class :-) That will be where the confusion came from.
Would it be possible to, instead of just silently omitting the inherited items, to instead add a section tot he the end of each classes documentation that says some thing like the following items are inherited from wx.<whatever> and then just list the names with no other details? It's rather confusing to see code using a Dabo class but referencing items that are not listed in the Dabo documentation. Actually, now I'm even more confused. I went to the wxPython web site to look at the docs for wxApp and their documentation lists FilterEvent, but it makes no mention of SetCallFilterEvent. Am I right in guessing that this is also a wxApp method and that their documentation is missing it for some reason? Ian Simcock.
