Re: wxStaticBoxSizer-crashes the BOA alltogether

Hi,

This is a well known bug I reported to Riaan several weeks ago.

I've event sent him this beginning of a workaround:

Views/Designer.py, line 1512, method DesignerNamespace.__getattr__ :
=    def __getattr__(self, name):
=        designer = self.__dict__['_designer']
=        if designer.objects.has_key(name):
-            return designer.objects[name][1]
+            obj = designer.objects[name]
+            if isinstance(obj[1], wx._core._wxPyDeadObject):
+                obj[1] = obj[0].designTimeControl(None, None)
+            return obj[1]
=        elif designer.dataView.objects.has_key(name):
= ...

This is far from perfect but it helps a bit.

The origin of that problem is a behavior change in wxPython between
the 2.6and the
2.7 series.
While recreating the view (which happens quite often at design time), the
designer deletes and reinstanciates all its sizers objects but keeps track
of the controls instances.
Until wxPython 2.6.x, deleting a StaticBoxSizer had no impact on the handled
StaticBox. But since 2.7, deleting a StaticBoxSizer also deletes the
StaticBox C++ reference, which Boa designer tracks as a control and so
doesn't reinstanciate at design time.
Each time the designer now tries to recreate a view that contains a
StaticBoxSizer it crashes.
