Hi,
After a year of travels, learning, testing packages, requests for help
on various fora, I have returned again to this list as people keep
saying try Dabo! try Dabo!
I keep telling them I have tried Dabo but it can't be "bent" to my
generic needs, that it is built on a well structured business model with
clear structured way of getting things done. I tell them that the
framework can be modified but the main developers recommend you use
their classes, etc to ensure compatibility.
I even point out that my correspondence with the developers indicate
that no major development to the code is likely. Still they say Dabo! Dabo!
So while trying to find some code to understand how wxGrid works in
wxPython the same mantra permeated through my treads. {Try Dabo! Try
Dabo!}.
The main protagonist was John Fabiani who eventually offered up the
invite "I hope you will revisit Dabo and ask me how to do things."
Well I'm here. I am willing to be shown...
So, I will throw up an apparently simple challenge. John, show me how I
can open a simple sqlite table and present the data in a window/frame in
an editable grid. Don't worry about the fluff, just the basic bones. The
code should be able to be pointed at any sqlite table. In other words
the grid is created and populated on the fly. In VFP parlance an
editable "browse" window that supposedly could be pointed at any
database table.
For reference: Mike Driscol (Mouse vs Python) was kind enough to
demonstrate the use of ObjectListView
<http://pypi.python.org/pypi/ObjectListView> and wxPython to access an
sqlite table, which looks promising
(http://www.blog.pythonlibrary.org/2012/06/04/wxpython-and-sqlalchemy-loading-random-sqlite-databases-for-viewing/).
This is a working example, and the first I have been provided, that
demonstrates the use of a dynamic grid-like widget in wxPython that can
be created on the fly.
