I am gonna try and explain how to fish ;) Lets start with what we want to know : What methods does wx.Button have, how do I find out? 0) Do a search for wx.Button on Google. 1) Consult the very extensive documentation available from wxPython.org if it didn't come with your distro. 2) Consult the Demo that comes with wxPython ( I see you have tried ) 3) Open an interpreter and try print dir(mybutton) and see what it gives you......very informative! Actually find out what it your object really supports, even better than out of date docs. 4) Search a newsgroup for wx.Button or wxButton 5) Ask a newsgroup Now on to some hints into the workings of wx. Just about everything in wx inherits from something ( usually window ). That means you have to look at all the bases to see what all is available in an object. wx.Button has window as a parent, that means we can simply use window's methods ,like SetFocus(). Always look at the bases to figure out what you have available you can be surprised what an object is capable of. I still dont know what you are trying to achieve. Are you using regular buttons or toggles or bitmaps or who knows, it matters. I am going to mention this if you just want to activate the button that has focus using the return key than it already works like that just tab to the button and press return. If you want to make a button focused by default you can use SetDefault() Sounds like you are trying to hard to do something simple, try less.
