problems subclassing a PMW widget

[Martin Franklin]

This is what I do to subclass a Pmw widget.....:


class MyScrolledText(Pmw.ScrolledText):
    def __init__(self, parent = None, **kw):
        # Define the megawidget options.
        INITOPT = Pmw.INITOPT
        optiondefs = (
            ('borderframe',    0,            INITOPT),
            ('hscrollmode',    'dynamic',    self._hscrollMode),
            ('labelmargin',    0,            INITOPT),
            ('labelpos',       None,         INITOPT),
            ('scrollmargin',   2,            INITOPT),
            ('usehullsize',    0,            INITOPT),
            ('vscrollmode',    'dynamic',    self._vscrollMode),
        )
        self.defineoptions(kw, optiondefs)
        Pmw.ScrolledText.__init__(self, parent)
        self.initialiseoptions(MyScrolledText)
 
    def write(self, stuff):
        self.insert('end',stuff)
        self.yview_pickplace('end')
        self.update()
        

So you may need to call defineoptions and initialiseoptions........
