Some little trouble with Phoenix

[j***@gmail.com]

Thank you for all the work done for wxPython Phoenix.
I am trying to convert my applications wxPython 2.8.12 classic to Phoenix
3.0.1. It's almost ready for normal production use.
Here are the latest trouble that I have.
(Window 7 64bits french, python 3.3.4 32bits,
wxPython_Phoenix-3.0.1.dev76109-py3.3-win32.egg)

1. wx.TheClipboard does not work
=========================
Text read and write (example on page
http://www.wxpython.org/Phoenix/docs/html/Clipboard.html) does not work.

2. wx.grid.GridCellCoordsArray conversion to list
===================================
wx.grid.GetSelectionBlockTopLeft() and
wx.grid.GetSelectionBlockBottomRight() return a wx.grid.GridCellCoordsArray
value.
This does not give the correct row value :
self.GetSelectionBlockTopLeft()[0][0]
Workaround with repr() or str() :
def GetSelectionBlockTopLeft(self):

return(eval(repr(super().GetSelectionBlockTopLeft()).replace("GridCellCoordsArray:
", "").replace("GridCellCoords", "")))

3. Vertical scroll bar of the grid
======================
The problem happens with grids (wx.grid.Grid) without horizontal scroll bar.
When I reduce the vertical size of the window, the vertical scroll bar
appears too late.
(the last row is hidden and no vertical scroll bar)

4. wx.MessageBox()
===============
- No icon with style wx.ICON_QUESTION.
- First line is bold blue if message begins with 2 newlines ("\n\n")

I'm seeing this too, I'll try to find what's going wrong.

", "").replace("GridCellCoords", "")))

A better workaround would be to simply assign the array to a variable
first. It looks like there may be a reference count issue there
somewhere and the returned object is being released before you do the
indexing operations on it.

Please make a small runnable sample for this one that demonstrates the
problem.

4. wx.MessageBox()
===============
- No icon with style wx.ICON_QUESTION.
- First line is bold blue if message begins with 2 newlines ("\n\n")

This is due to a different native dialog being used by wxWidgets for
wx.MessageDialog on Windows 7 and 8, and it not having support for the
equivalent icon for wx.ICON_QUESTION. If you can't live without it then
there is a wx.GenericMessageDialog and also one in agw.

As requested, here is a runnable sample showing the problem "Vertical
scroll bar of the grid" :
gridVScrollProblem.py
It can be annoying with fixed size windows.

Thanks,
Jean-Paul

wx.TheClipboard works but something is wrong with wx.TextDataObject.
See http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/15488. It is the same problem.
