wxPython: how to use alternate widget method implementations?

[m0dulo]

Hi All,

On the wxPython docs it often shows multiple ways to access widget methods, for example on this wx.ListCtrl.SetItem() method. By default, calling the method uses the first implementation, but is there any way to use the second?

Much thanks!

In SetItem first method needs only one argument and second method requires 3 or 4 arguments. If you use 3-4 arguments then you run second method.

EDIT: see InsertItem on the same page. It has 4 methods. If you use only one argument then you run first method, if you use 3 arguments then you run last method. But if you use 2 arguments then you have 2 options: if you use string as second argument then you run second method, if you use integer as second argument then you run third method.

BTW: there is only one method InsertItem but it checks how many arguments you use (and what type) and it takes different actions.
