I started using Wing IDE and it's great. I'm building a wxPython app, and I noticed that Wing IDE catches exceptions that are usually caught by wxPython and not really raised. This is usually useful, but I would like to disable this behavior occasionally. How do I do that? ...

I created a Frame object and I want to limit the width it can expand to. The only window in the frame is a ScrolledWindow object and that contains all other children. I have a lot of objects arranged with a BoxSizer oriented vertically so the ScrolledWindow object gets pretty tall. There is often a scrollbar to the right so you can scrol...
I am pretty sure I am suffering from memory leakage, but I havent 100% nailed down how its happening. The application Iv'e written downloads 2 images from a url and queues each set of images, called a transaction, into a queue to be popped off by the user interface and displayed. The images are pretty big, averaging about 2.5MB. So as...
I am using a wxPython wx.html.HtmlWindow to display part of my interface. The user can scroll down a list of links in a window smaller than the list. When they click on a link, I need to repaint the web page, but I want to return the page position back to where they clicked it. I've tried MouseEvent.GetLogicalPosition() on the event, b...

Hi, I want to create hover effect on StaticBitmap - If the cursor of mouse is over the the bitmap, shows one image, if not, shows second image. It's trivial program (works perfectly with a button). However, StaticBitmap doesn't emit EVT_WINDOW_ENTER, EVT_WINDOW_LEAVE events. I can work with EVT_MOTION. If images are switched when the c...
How can I temporarily disable all accelerators in a wxPython app? For example, I have a special TextCtrl that I want to use to record a single keypress, and I don't want that keypress to be treated like an accelerator. While that widget has focus I want to disable all accelerators. On the wxPython mailing list it was suggested I bind...
I have a wx.TextCtrl that I am using to represent a display with a fixed number of character rows and columns. I would like to hide the vertical scrollbar that is displayed to the right of the text pane since it is entirely unnecessary in my application. Is there a way to achieve this? Also...I would like to hide the blinking cursor tha...
Accelerators on wxPython do not seem to work with nested panels. In other words: ----------------------------------------------- | Main panel | | ----------------- ----------------- | | | Subpanel 1 | | Subpanel 2 | | | | accelerator | | accelerator | ...
I would like to have a python gui that loads different images from files. I've seen many exmples of loading an image with some code like: img = wx.Image("1.jpg", wx.BITMAP_TYPE_ANY, -1) sb = wx.StaticBitmap(rightPanel, -1, wx.BitmapFromImage(img)) sizer.Add(sb) It seems to be suited for an image that will be there for the entire life ...
Hi, I'd like to implement drag&drop in wxPython that works in similar way that in WordPad/Eclipse etc. I mean the following: when something is being dropped to WordPad, WordPad window is on top with focus and text is added. In Eclipse editor text is pasted, Eclipse window gains focus and is on top. When I implement drag&drop using wxPy...

I have a wxPython app which has many worker threads, idle event cycles, and many other such event handling code which can consume CPU, for now when app is not being interacted with consumes about 8-10% CPU. Question: Is there a tool which can tell which part/threads of my app is consuming most CPU? If there are no such generic tools, I...
I have a wxPython application (http://www.OpenSTV.org) that counts ballots using methods that have multiple rounds. I'd like to do two things: (1) For a large number of ballots, this can be a bit slow, so I'd like to show the user a progress dialog so he doesn't think the application is frozen. (2) I'd like to allow the user to break ...
I am trying to display search result data quickly. I have all absolute file paths for files on my network drive(s) in a single, ~50MB text file. The python script makes a single pass over every line in this file [kept on the local drive] in a second or less, and that is acceptable. That is the time it takes to gather results. However, ...
I have a wxPython ListCtrl with five columns. Four of these hold strings, the last one has integer values. I have been storing these as strings (i.e. '4', '17', etc.). However, now that I have added a ColumnSorterMixin to let me sort specific columns in the list, I'm finding, of course, that the integer column is being sorted lexically r...
I have a Python program (PP) that loads another Program(AP) via COM, gets its window handle and sets it to be the PP parent. This works pretty well except that I can't control that AP still has their [X] button available in the top left corner. Since this is a pretty obvious place for the user to close when they are done with the progr...
