Re: Creating dynamic window

Thanks for the response.

The code almost worked.  The offending line is:

function.func_name = "on_%s_mouseClick" % name

which is a TypeError violation (readonly attribute). 
I ran into this too when I try to set method.__name__
directly.

The workaround, as it seems, is to have an addHandler
function (rather then the _addHandler function) that
does this: 

    def addHandler(self, aMethod):
        # Add the Handler to our Handler list.
        if aMethod.name not in self._handlers:
            log.debug("addHandler: " + aMethod.name)
            #self._handlers[aMethod.name] =
event.Handler(aMethod)
            self._handlers[aMethod.name] = aMethod

instead of this:

    def _addHandler(self, aMethod):
        # Add the Handler to our Handler list.
        if aMethod.__name__ not in self._handlers:
            log.debug("_addHandler: " +
aMethod.__name__)
            #self._handlers[aMethod.__name__] =
event.Handler(aMethod)
            self._handlers[aMethod.__name__] = aMethod


When I call addHandler then, the code works.  When I
click the first button, a new button gets created. 
One minor puzzle though, Python passes down 3
parameters to the handler (rather then just 2).  The
first 2 are both the same and it's the normal "self"
parameter you get with other handlers.  The 3rd one is
the event object.  I don't know why I get "self" twice
though.
