Request to fix wx.ListCtrl.SetItemData()

[Jorgen Bodde]

Hi All,

As follow up to my previous message, about passing client data to
wx.ListCtrl, I would suggest a change in the wxPython binding, as the
int reference in wx.ListCtrl.SetItemData() should be a long. This is
taken from the wxWidgets C++ Help:

wxListCtrl::SetItemData
bool SetItemData(long item, long data)

Could this be safely changed to a long? Or maybe if the existing API
will break too much, reimplement this as wx.ListCtrl.SetItemDataLong()
 / wx.ListCtrl.SetClientData() ?

It is a bit annoying to have to keep a dictionary reference to my
objects, and come up with unique numbers to identify which object I
clicked, while changing the int to a long in wx.ListCtrl.SetItemData
() would allow us to pass object references to the GUI, and be more
consistent with wx.Choice / wx.ComboBox and the likes, which do allow
that.

With regards,
- Jorgen
