Thanks a lot. I was so sure I had tried just that and I got an error there was no such attribute in a StartValue instance.
Well now it works. Thanks again. Maybe thera going to be some more questions soon.

It's when I ask for the value before I set it I got the error
Code: Select all
leadin = operation.defaultStart.leadin
"Unable to call an unknown method 'leadin' on a 'StartValue' type."

I just checked the code and I made a mistake in the .i file, which is why that doesn't work. This will be fixed in the next dev release.

Code: Select all
operation.defaultStart.leadin = 10
This doesn't throw an error but it doesn't seem to change the operation settings either. Is it because of the this .i file mistake too or do I miss something else.

Yeah. Lua doesn't know a StartValue is a descendant of StartPoint. However this may work:
Code: Select all
local st = operation.defaultStart:DynamicCast("StartPoint")
local leadin = st.leadin
Although Lua doesn't know about the relationship, C++ does. DynamicCast is implemented in C++ so this may well work.

Nop
"DynamicCast() Cannot cast a wxLua type 'StartValue' to a 'StartPoint'."
I have to wait for the update
