Hi,
There has been some discussion on this list regarding GUI toolkits and
it reinvigorated my search for one to meet my needs.
I would like to create windows with grids (AKA rows and column of a
table like excel). Do any of the GUI interfaces have these types of
widgets? i have looked but can't find any and I have not stumbled on
program that presents data in this way so I can see how they do it.
Page 426 of "wxPython in Action" starts a chapter on using a grid
view (and a "gridtable" which uses a linked data structure for
populating the grid)..
Specifically I would like to run a SQL command and have the returned
list passed to a widget with little or no manipulation and that widget
present the data, allow the user to scroll through that data and
preferably allow edits to occur. These edits could then be passed back
via a string to the program for inclusion in a sql-update command.
Don't know if it has a direct link to SQL data sources; however, the
"gridtable" is probably closest.
Dennis,
Thanks for you feedback. Sometimes it just knowing the name of what you
are looking for you to be able to find the data.
Googling gridtable allowed me to find my way to the wxGrid Manual which
seems to be what I was asking for...
http://wiki.wxpython.org/wxGrid%20Manual
wxPyGridTableBase, a particular class associated with wxGrid appears to
be what I need. The blurb states "The wxPyGridTableBase class is the
interface between the wxGrid and your application-specific data sources"
