Re: [Pythoncard-users] Beginner Help

God bless yew, this precisely what I needed.

[well duh, the dir(self.components.list1) simply did not occur to me.]

With a button having a command doItMan, the confusion can be removed 
like this:

def on_doItMan_command(self, event):
        lst = self.components.List1
        # First execution:
        print dir(lst)
        # My-my, what a load of interesting method names!
        # Second execution after finding a couple of
        # promising names:
        print dir(lst.GetSelection)
        print lst.GetSelection.__doc__
        print dir(lst.Delete)
        print lst.Delete.__doc__
        # Sure enough, these are what we need. Let's play a
        # little i.e. click the button without selecting anything
        # in the list:
        x = lst.GetSelection()
        print x, type(x)
        # Aha! The __doc__ is in error: it claims that when
        # no item is selected wx.NOT_FOUND is returned but
        # insted it returns -1. No big deal though!
        # Let's try the operation we are after:
        x = lst.GetSelection()
        if x != -1:
            lst.Delete(x)
        # IT WORKS!!!
