Testing the item editing function for my 5-column list in report mode
throws error for which I have not found a solution in the wPIA book. In
subsection 13.4.1 (page 411) I learn, "[e]diting an entry in the list is
simple, except in report lists, where the user can only edit the first
column in each row." Sigh.

   The approach I tried is in this function (only the first part which
generates the error is reproduced; I'll deal with the rest when I get
there):

 	def OnRuleEdit(self, event):
           # copy contents of row for each column to variables
           row = self.itemID
           idx = self.rulesList.GetFirstSelected()
           pName = self.rulesList.GetItem(row, 0).GetText()
           sName = self.rulesList.GetItem(row, 1).GetText()
           vName = self.rulesList.GetItem(row, 2).GetText()
           rNo = self.rulesList.GetItem(row, 3).GetText()
           rTxt = self.rulesList.GetItem(row, 4).GetText()

   The python error is:

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/data1/eikos/rulePage.py", line 112, in OnRuleEdit
     pName = self.rulesList.GetItem(row, 0).GetText()
   File
"/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode/wx/_controls.py", line
4503, in GetItem
     val = _controls_.ListCtrl_GetItem(*args, **kwargs)
TypeError: in method 'ListCtrl_GetItem', expected argument 2 of type 'long'

which looks similar to the error I saw before correctly loading data into
the widget. But, I don't see how that solution applies here. When loading
values I need to get each column's value from a tuple of items in a list.
Here, to edit a displayed label, I need to capture the strings for each
column in the selected row to variables, load those into a dialog box, edit,
then re-display (with the changed label) and save.

   The selected row is correctly identified, but I'm stuck on how to get the
values from each column in that row.
