I'm writing a GUI application in Python using wxPython and I want to display an image in a static control (wx.StaticBitmap). I can use wx.ImageFromStream to load an image from a file, and this works OK: static_bitmap = wx.StaticBitmap(parent, wx.ID_ANY) f = open("test.jpg", "rb") image = wx.ImageFromStream(f) bitmap = wx.BitmapFromImag...
I use some wx.ListCtrl classes in wx.LC_REPORT mode, augmented with ListCtrlAutoWidthMixin. The problem is: When user double clicks the column divider (to auto resize column), column width is set to match the width of contents. This is done by the wx library and resizes column to just few pixels when the control is empty. I tried calli...
I'm looking into writing a wxWidget that displays a graphical node network, and therefore does a lot of drawing operations. I know that using Python to do it is going to be slower, but I'd rather get it working and port it later when its functional. Ideally, if the performance hit isn't too great, I'd prefer to keep the codebase in Pyt...
I'm starting out with wxPython and have been working my way through every tutorial and example I can get my hands on. I've run into a slight problem, however, and it has to do with the wx.App versus the wx.Frame and which should contain specific methods. Just about every example I've seen don't go much beyond layouts/sizers and event h...
I've been working with python for a while now and am just starting to learn wxPython. After creating a few little programs, I'm having difficulty understanding how to create objects that can be shared between dialogs. Here's some code as an example (apologies for the length - I've tried to trim): import wx class ExampleFrame(wx.Frame...
I develop tools in Autodesk Maya. Many of the tools I build have simple windowed GUIs for the animators and modellers to use. These GUIs often contain what you'd normally expect to see in any basic window; labels, lists, menus, buttons, textfields, etc. However, there are limitations to the complexity of the UIs you can build with the...
I have a wxPython application that relies on an external config file. I want provide friendly message dialogs that show up if there are any config errors. I've tried to make this work by wrapping my app.MainLoop() call in a try/except statement. The code below works for the init code in my MainWindow frame class, but doesn't catch any...
I'd like to know what versions of Python and wxPython correspond to each version of OSX. I'm interested to know exactly how far back some of my apps will remain compatible on a mac before having to install newer versions of Python and wxPython. ...
I want to create a very basic 3D modeling tool. The application is supposed to be windowed and will need to respond to mouse click and drag events in the 3D viewport. I've decided on wxPython for the actual window since I'm fairly familiar with it already. However, I need to produce an OpenGL viewport that can respond to the various m...
I'm looking for different solutions to playing back SWF files on Windows, OSX and Linux using Python. Ideally I'd like to embed the player inside a wxPython frame/window. One possibility I'm investigating is the Mozilla XPCOM framework since its used by FireFox to load the Flash plugin within the browser. ...
Windows has the "system tray" that houses the clock and alway-running services like MSN, Steam, etc. I'd like to develop a wxPython tray application but I'm wondering how well this will port to other platforms. What is the tray equivalent on each platform, and how much manual work would be required to support Windows, OSX and Linux (wh...
Does anyone know of an example where it is shown how to drag a button from one panel to another in wxPython? I have created a bitmap button in a panel, and I would like to be able to drag it to a different panel and drop I there. I haven't found any examples using buttons, just text and files. I am using the latest version of Python ...
I've compiled my Python program using Py2Exe, and on the client's computer we've satisfied all the dependencies using dependency walker, but we still get "The application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may correct the problem." I'm also using wxPython. The client does not have administrator access. Any ideas...
Below is the base class of my pythoncard application class MyBackground(model.Background): def on_initialize(self, event): # if you have any initialization # including sizer setup, do it here self.setLayout() def setLayout(self): sizer1 = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL) # main sizer for item...
I've got a wx.Toolbar and I'd like to make the buttons larger. I've searched and can't seem to find any concrete documentation on how to do this. I'm also wondering how well this will translate across platforms; what will happen to the buttons and icons on OSX? ...
I am using a wx.TextCtrl to output text from a network daemon. As the output is quite verbose, the size of text in the TextCtrl can become huge (BTW is there any limitation on the size of the contents of a TextCtrl?) I would like to delete the top N lines from the TextCtrl when TextCtrl.GetNumberOfLines() exceeds a predefined treshold. W...
Is there a widget for wxPython like the SuggestBox in Google Web Toolkit? It is basically a magic text box that can invoke some code to come up with suggestions relevant to whatever the user has entered so far. Like the search box on Google's web page. If such a widget isn't already floating out there, I'd appreciate a sketch of how I m...
I would like to show a read time graph with one or two curves an up to 50 samples per second using Python and wxPython. The widget should support both Win32 and Linux platforms. Any hints are welcome. Edited to add: I don't need to update the display at 50 fps, but up need to show up to 50 samples of data on both curves, with a reaso...
I'm coding the menu for an application I'm writing in python, using wxPython libraries for the user interface, and I'm attempting to add icons to some of the menu items. Because I'm trying to be conscientious about it, I'm trying to limit the damage done if one of the image files referenced doesn't exist, and the most simple method (in ...
Hi everyone! I'm looking for a way to implement this design in wxPython on Linux... I have a toolbar with a button, when the button is pressed a popup should appear, mimicking an extension of the toolbar (like a menu), and this popup should show two columns of radio buttons (say 2x5) and a text box... My main problem is that the toolbar ...
