Hi guys ,the code above is just to create a button in wxpython.but everytime i run the code ,only the Frame appears,no buttons or whatsoever inside,just blank.i tried to reinstall the wxpython module but no luck.
My second question is whenever i try to initialize say, title = 'widget', size= (300,100) in the frame constructor like wx.Frame.init(self,parent,id,title ='widget',size = (300,100) it does not work, i have to do it through this line:
frame = wx.Frame(parent = None, id =-1,title = 'Widget',size = (300,100))
why is that so.thaks
Here is a working code just add your events to it. Also consider using wxGlade to design graphically your gui instead of writing it:
import wx
import gettext
class MyFrame(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwds):
kwds["style"] = wx.DEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE
wx.Frame.__init__(self, *args, **kwds)
self.panel_1 = wx.Panel(self, wx.ID_ANY)
self.button_1 = wx.Button(self.panel_1, wx.ID_ANY, _("button_1"))
self.__set_properties()
self.__do_layout()
def __set_properties(self):
self.SetTitle(_("frame_1"))
def __do_layout(self):
sizer_1 = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
sizer_2 = wx.BoxSizer(wx.HORIZONTAL)
sizer_2.Add(self.button_1, 0, 0, 0)
self.panel_1.SetSizer(sizer_2)
sizer_1.Add(self.panel_1, 1, wx.EXPAND, 0)
self.SetSizer(sizer_1)
sizer_1.Fit(self)
self.Layout()
if __name__ == "__main__":
gettext.install("app")
app = wx.PySimpleApp(0)

app.SetTopWindow(frame_1)
frame_1.Show()

When I put a combo box on wxPython popup window, dropdown function doesn't work.
My example code is this.
import wx
class TestPopup(wx.PopupWindow):
def __init__(self, parent):
"""Constructor"""
wx.PopupWindow.__init__(self, parent = parent)
self.popUp = wx.Panel(self, size = (200,200))
self.popUp.SetBackgroundColour("white")
self.st = wx.StaticText(self.popUp, -1, " Select Comport", pos=(10,10))
self.selCom = wx.ComboBox(self.popUp, -1, pos=(85, 50), choices=["Com1", "Com2"])
self.mySizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
self.mySizer.Add(self.popUp)
self.SetSizerAndFit(self.mySizer)
class MainFrame(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self):
wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent = None, title= "ComboBox Test", size = (300,200))
self.panel = wx.Panel(self)
self.selComButton = wx.Button(self.panel, -1, "Select Comport")
self.selComButton.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.selectPopUp)
self.selCom = wx.ComboBox(self.panel, -1, pos = (85, 50),choices=["Com1", "Com2"])
def selectPopUp(self, event):
win = TestPopup(self.GetTopLevelParent())
btn = event.GetEventObject()
pos = btn.ClientToScreen((0, 0))
sz = btn.GetSize()
win.Position(pos, (0, sz[1]))
win.Show(True)
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = wx.App()
frame = MainFrame()
frame.Show()
app.MainLoop()
In the code, combo box in main frame works well. But, in the popup window, which is shown when 'select Comport' button is clicked, combobox doesn't work.
What's wrong with this?
It works well.
It doesn't work.
The ComboBox certainly works in a popup window under Linux, so it's difficult to address your question directly. However, I would suggest that in this case, you might well be better served, if you were to use a Dialog rather than a PopUpWindow, as it will do the heavy lifting for you.
For example:
import wx
class MainFrame(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self):
wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent = None, title= "Communication Port", size = (300,200))
self.panel = wx.Panel(self)
self.selComButton = wx.Button(self.panel, -1, "Select Comport")
self.selComButton.SetToolTip("Select Comport")
self.selComButton.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.selectPopUp)
def selectPopUp(self, event):
dlg = wx.SingleChoiceDialog(None,"Pick a com port", "Com ports",["Com1","Com2","Com3","Com4"],wx.CHOICEDLG_STYLE)
if dlg.ShowModal() == wx.ID_OK:
res = dlg.GetStringSelection()
self.selComButton.SetLabel(res)
dlg.Destroy()
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = wx.App()
frame = MainFrame()
frame.Show()
app.MainLoop()
I've not been able to find an answer in the documentation. Say I have the following:
import wx
from wx import *
import sys
app = wx.App()
def quitProgram(*args):
sys.exit()
def restart(*args):
app.MainLoop()
xSize = 500
ySize = 300
window = wx.Frame(None, title = "My GUI", size = (xSize,ySize))
panel = wx.Panel(window)
# generic label
labelLeft = wx.StaticText(panel, label = 'some text', pos = (2,30))
# exit button
exit = wx.Button(panel, -1, label="Exit", pos = (1, 1), size=(-1,-1))
exit.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, quitProgram)
# reset button
reset = wx.Button(panel, -1, label="Refresh", pos = (100,1), size=(-1,-1))
reset.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, restart)
window.Show(True)
app.MainLoop()
How can I position the objects- buttons and labels- based on the size of the main window? I'd like the objects to reposition based on resizing the window.
The code posted is not clean wxPython code.
You must instantiate your Frame as a Class and use Sizers to automate positioning of your widgets.
A minimal code that reproduces your frame using Sizers is this:
import wx
class MyFrame(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwds):
wx.Frame.__init__(self, *args, **kwds)
self.SetSize((500, 300))
self.bt_exit = wx.Button(self, wx.ID_ANY, "exit")
self.bt_refresh = wx.Button(self, wx.ID_ANY, "refresh")
self.text_ctrl = wx.TextCtrl(self, wx.ID_ANY, "some text", style=wx.TE_MULTILINE)
self.SetTitle("My GUI")
self.bt_exit.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.on_exit)
self.bt_refresh.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.on_refresh)
sizer_1 = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
sizer_2 = wx.BoxSizer(wx.HORIZONTAL)
sizer_2.Add(self.bt_exit, 1, 0, 0)
sizer_2.Add(self.bt_refresh, 1, 0, 0)
sizer_1.Add(sizer_2, 0, wx.EXPAND, 0)
sizer_1.Add(self.text_ctrl, 1, wx.EXPAND, 0)
self.SetSizer(sizer_1)
self.Layout()
def on_exit(self, evt):
self.Close()
def on_refresh(self, evt):
self.text_ctrl.Clear()
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = wx.App()
frame = MyFrame(None)
frame.Show()
app.MainLoop()
This is well explained in wxPython/Phoenyx docs. Check for example these tutorials
The following is a bit of copied code from another question, it works fine as a standalone app, but the pop-up right-click menu references frame_1 which is not available if "if name == 'main':" is false, as it is when the program is called by another. What should this reference be changed to?
Thanks.

If you are going to import your code into another module, then you will just need to instantiate that frame in your new main application's code. Let's save your code as olv_tracks.py. Now import it like I do in the following code:
import wx
import olv_tracks
class MyFrame(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self):
wx.Frame.__init__(self, None, title='Main App')
panel = wx.Panel(self)
self.Show()
# show other frame
frame = olv_tracks.MyFrame(None, -1, "ObjectListView Track Test")
frame.Show()
if __name__ == '__main__':
app = wx.App(False)
frame = MyFrame()
app.MainLoop()
Now you just instantiate the frame the same way you did in your code.
Also, you need to change the reference to frame_1 in your RightClick method to self. So instead of frame_1.PopupMenu(menu, event.GetPoint()), it should be self.PopupMenu(menu, event.GetPoint())
I'm new to Python and WX. I created a simple test dialog shown below that prompts the user with a combobox. I would like to capture the value from the combox in my main program. How do I call it from my main program?
This is how I was purposing to call it that displays the dialog but does not currently capture the value from the combobox:
import highlight
highlight.create(self).Show(True)
a = highlight.OnComboBox1Combobox(self)
print a
The name of the Dialog file is "highlight". Below is the code:
#Boa:Dialog:Dialog2
import wx
def create(parent):
return Dialog2(parent)
[wxID_DIALOG2, wxID_DIALOG2COMBOBOX1, wxID_DIALOG2STATICTEXT1,
] = [wx.NewId() for _init_ctrls in range(3)]
class Dialog2(wx.Dialog):
def _init_ctrls(self, prnt):
# generated method, don't edit
wx.Dialog.__init__(self, id=wxID_DIALOG2, name='', parent=prnt,
pos=wx.Point(264, 140), size=wx.Size(400, 485),
style=wx.DEFAULT_DIALOG_STYLE, title='Dialog2')
self.SetClientSize(wx.Size(384, 447))
self.comboBox1 = wx.ComboBox(choices=['test1', 'test2'],
id=wxID_DIALOG2COMBOBOX1, name='comboBox1', parent=self,
pos=wx.Point(120, 16), size=wx.Size(130, 21), style=0,
value=u'wining\n')
self.comboBox1.SetToolTipString(u'comboBox1')
self.comboBox1.SetLabel(u'wining\n')
self.comboBox1.Bind(wx.EVT_COMBOBOX, self.OnComboBox1Combobox,
id=wxID_DIALOG2COMBOBOX1)
self.staticText1 = wx.StaticText(id=wxID_DIALOG2STATICTEXT1,
label=u'test', name='staticText1', parent=self, pos=wx.Point(88,
16), size=wx.Size(19, 13), style=0)
def __init__(self, parent):
self._init_ctrls(parent)
##print get_selection
##print get_selection1
def OnComboBox1Combobox(self, event):
get_selection = self.comboBox1.GetValue()
return get_selection
There are lots of dialog examples out there. Here are a couple:
The Dialogs of wxPython (Part 1 of 2)
http://zetcode.com/wxpython/dialogs/
Basically, all you need to do is instantiate your dialog, show it and then before you close it, extract the value. The typical way to do it is something like this:
myDlg = MyDialog()
res = myDlg.ShowModal()
if res == wx.ID_OK:
value = myDlg.myCombobox.GetValue()
myDlg.Destroy()
Update: Here's a more full-fledged example:

New python programmer here and trying to learn how to dynamically update widgets. To start, I have the following code. What I would like to do is change my variable "self.dynamiclength" to any integer, and have WxPython update the number of widgets appropriately. I have tried putting self.Refresh() and self.Update() in my TestFrame after updating self.dynamiclength to no avail.
I have done as much reading as possible on this before resorting to asking for help, but I am just too new at Wx to solve this one on my own. Thank you much!

If you need to update the number of widgets AFTER you've already created and shown the application, the you'll need to do it in a method, NOT in the init. The init only runs the first time the application is instantiated. Whenever you add or remove widgets after the frame is shown, you'll need to call Layout() on the parent widget or its sizer.
