Thankyou everyone for help last time: The following works ok when setting a wx.lib.buttons.GenBitmapTextButton's disabled bitmap in using wxpython
instead of this: self.b1.SetBitmapDisabled(self.yellow) i can use this: aaa = 1 result1 = eval("self.b%s.SetBitmapDisabled(self.yellow)" % aaa) result YAY! How would i to achieve this with getattr() ? getattr(locals()['parent'], aaa) ??? Why would this be better as recommended in previous post here http://groups.google.com.au/group/comp.lang.python/browse_frm/thread/2529515bc85cd954/c2f080b21d668081?q=janama&rnum=1#c2f080b21d668081 Any help appreciated ta -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
