wxPython Grid Question

[Jordan]

Hey Peoples,
I'm wonderg if there is a way to make a subclass of wx.grid.Grid in
which the coloumn labels for the grid appear on the bottom of the grid
instead of the top.

1 2 3 4 5
a| | | | | |
b| | | | | |
c| | | | | |
d| | | | | |
e| | | | | |

Just in case that wasn't clear (and because I just feel like typing
more): The above grid has labels in the normal placement. The grid
below has the labels in the places I want them.

a| | | | | |
b| | | | | |
c| | | | | |
d| | | | | |
e| | | | | |
1 2 3 4 5

Thanks

I don't know a regular way to do that, and may be it's not the right
place to ask that, but what you'd do is to build two grids with the same
layout, one at the top without the column label, and another below
without data lines.
It could work, but looks strange, and is probably a source of confusion
for users.

Hi Jordan :)

Not quite what you want, but I'm about to try faking labels in a grid.
The reason is that I want more control regarding rendering the labels
(using simple checkboxes and other features). So I'll try to get the
first row to display as "headers". If that works, would it help you?
And would you append rows frequently?

Just FWIW, I recall reading that a grid is composed of some base
elements (scrolled window and something else), so you might try to
follow that lead. But jean-michel has two good points: it could be
easier to use 2 grids and http://wxpython.org/maillist.php would give
you better answers :)

Cheers,
Daniel

After a while, I think in the case where you'd want to use 2 grids, it
could be tricky to reproduce scrollings and events across the two
grids... and there are probably other inconvenients, particularly if you
include it in sizers.
Its probably not a so much good point.
