I don't think that's possible.
It would be relatively easy to add this functionality to the underlying C++ wxWidgets control, but since you're using wxPython, you'd then have to rebuild that as well which is a tremendous pain in the ass. |
1. Use consistent formatting.
2. When working on legacy code employ the existing style of formatting, esp. brace style.
3. Get a copy of Scott Meyer's book Effective C++
4. Get a copy of Steve MConnell's book Code Complete. |

Does anyone use [Phing][1] to deploy PHP applications, and if so how do you use it? We currently have a hand-written "setup" script that we run whenever we deploy a new instance of our project.

**Caveat:** I don't know *ActiveScaffold*. This answer is based on me reading its source code.

I believe this idea to be an interesting theoretical debate, but not very practical for the following reasons:

Inherit from System.Exception. System.ApplicationException is useless and the design guidelines say "**Do not** throw or derive from System.ApplicationException."

The base exception from where all other exceptions inherit from is System.Exception, and that is what you should inherit, unless of course you have a use for things like, say, default messages of a more specific exception. |
