Help for access method of wxPython object

[Robin Dunn]

You can also use wxPyTypeCast on what is returned from GetChildren, so the
OP could do this:

    obj = wxPyTypeCast(self.GetChildren()[26], "wxTextCtrl")
    obj.SetValue("Testing")

Hopefully the need for this ugly hack will also go away with the upcoming
changes I mentioned yesterday.
