Detailed Description

This can connect a property across multiple subdialogs in a safe way that gets multi-edit right.

It can also be used with regular Python dialogs in the same manner.

This is useful if one subdialog needs to respond to changes on another subdialog.

You do not have to 'Source' before you 'Connect'.

pusher = Pusher( 'field1', int )

subdialog1 = ... passed in ... field1 = Entry( 'field1', int ) pusher.Source( subdialog1, field1 )

subdialog2 = ... passed in ... field2 = pusher.Connect( subdialog2 ) ... field2 is a Hidden field that always has the value of 'field1' in subdialog1.

args

)

 property_name - This is the name of the property that will be pushed to other
                 subdialogs.
 kind - This is likely the python type you save in the model.  Which will allow it
        to work with complex types like comboboxes.  It may be the same kind you use
        with the fields created to display it.
