Before we go much further with the digitization module, we need to decide how to fix the invisible tool bar control bug.<BR>
<BR>
You cannot see a control (e.g., combo box) that is not a button on an AUI toolbar on a Mac. This is a known bug in wxPython and wxWidgets but it now clear when or if it will be fixed. This makes all digitization and any other toolbar called from a combo box completely invisible and inaccessible.<BR>
<BR>
AFAICT, the only work arounds are: 1) change the tool bar so that it is not AUI managed any more, 2 call different tool bars in another way, or 3) switch to something like a button bar instead of a toolbar to manage the buttons and other controls.<BR>
<BR>
Do you have a preference as to how to go about this?<BR>
