psst: thats because they are FEATURES and NOT BUGS you idiot! I am not
trying to create a working file browser so you can steal my code. No.
I am displaying one use case for a very useful widget. I repeat, i am
not going to code up a free file browser for you Adam. Get a life!

A ListCtrl is useful for many, many purposes. Just one of them happens
to be a file browser. Your statement comes as no great surprise to us
because we all know how you severely lack any kind of vision or
abstract reasoning abilities.

BS. You're scared, You're under qualified. And it shows. BIGTIME!

Where is the world Adam? I am the only one who has summited code.

ListCtrl's are very useful. And i have many more challenges coming.
WxPython outshines all the competition by leaps and bounds. The
ListCtrl is just the beginning.

Yes.

You keep trying to divert attention from the point. Sorry but you're
not going to fool anyone with this foolishness.

Ditto! But at least i have some code to work with. Something to create
a fact based argument from. You have nothing but your own foolishness
to build from.

I suppose you gauge the quality of code by how many tracebacks are
printed. And it seems even more perverse that you expect code to spit
exceptions! And when code fails to spit exceptions you get angry about
it and claim the programmer is insufficient. Hmm, this would explain
why you have yet to provide us with working (or even semi-working)
code. Adam you are by far the most foolish person i have ever met.
