Hi all,
When I use a ListBox, I see that I can give it a names list and a
values list. I understand that names are what is shown to the user,
but what do values do? They do not seem to be used in the AddListBox
method at all.
A second question goes along with this: when I pass a list to be the
names list in a ListBox, all is well. When I pass a dictionary,
though, all my items suddenly get out of order. For example, if I pass
["apple", "banana", "orange"] as the names list in the AddListBox
method, the items appear in that order. When I instead do this:
items={
"apples":"red",
"bananas":"yellow",
"oranges":"orange"
}
and then add to my dialog:
dlg.AddListBox(label="fruit", names=items.keys())
I get a list with the three fruits out of order, appearing as "apples,
oranges, bananas" in the list instead. I imagine this is a python
problem in the keys() method of the dictionary, but I cannot imagine
why it would do it at all. How do I get around it so that items appear
in the same order as they do in my dictionary? Thanks!
