Then the event is: "on a regular basis", i.e. the passage of time. You can use a wx.Timer to create events at regular intervals, which your code can respond to: ------- import wx class MyFrame(wx.Frame): def __init__(self): wx.Frame.__init__(self, None, -1, "My Window") panel = wx.Panel(self, -1) self.text = wx.StaticText(panel, -1, "hello", pos=(40, 40) ) self.timer = wx.Timer(self) self.Bind(wx.EVT_TIMER, self.on_timer_event) self.timer.Start(milliseconds=1000, oneShot=False) def on_timer_event(self, event): if self.text.GetLabel() == "hello": self.text.SetLabel("goodbye") else: self.text.SetLabel("hello") app = wx.App(redirect=False) win = MyFrame() win.Show() app.MainLoop() ---------------- Make sure you save the timer in self so that you have a permanent reference to the object, otherwise the timer will be destroyed when __init_ returns. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
