When we discuss a global window events. and i wanted to generate event when the user click on a key out of my application. I promised that if will found how to do it i'l show you.
I found this article which explain very simply how to hook py width pyHook lib http://mindtrove.info/articles/monitoring-global-input-with-pyhook/ now the following code combine between wxpython and phHook. I know this code probably looks not efficient and unorganized. I'm really new width this stuff, but it works fine. before you try it you better install the pyHook from the following link http://mindtrove.info/articles/monitoring-global-input-with-pyhook/ *note theirs an image url you would have to edit in order for it to be work #!/usr/bin/python # menu1.py import wx import wx.html as html import pythoncom, pyHook class MyFrame(wx.Frame): def __init__(self, parent, id, title): wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, id, title, wx.DefaultPosition, wx.Size(400, 400)) self.SetBackgroundColour('#fef9d8') panel= wx.Panel(self, -1, style=wx.SIMPLE_BORDER, size=(400, 100)); aaa= html.HtmlWindow(panel, -1, style=wx.SIMPLE_BORDER, size=(250, 60)) aaa.LoadPage('aa.html') cnrl=wx.TextCtrl(aaa, 11, '', (20, 20), (120, 20)) wx.Button(aaa, 12, "Translate", (160, 19)) self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.OnClick, id=12) quite = wx.BitmapButton(panel, 20, wx.Bitmap('py/x.gif'),(370, 0), (20, 20), style=wx.ALIGN_RIGHT ) self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.Yehuda, id=20) self.Bind(wx.EVT_KEY_DOWN, self.OnKeyDown) self.SetFocus() font1= wx.Font(12, wx.NORMAL, wx.NORMAL, wx.BOLD) font2=wx.Font(10, wx.NORMAL, wx.NORMAL, wx.NORMAL) text1=wx.StaticText(panel, 15, "Hello" ,(30, 70) , style=wx.ALIGN_CENTRE) text1.SetFont(font1) text2=wx.StaticText(panel, -1, "Peace, By, Good by", (30, 100), style=wx.ALIGN_CENTRE ) text2.SetFont(font2) self.Show() self.Centre() def Yehuda(self, event): self.Hide() def OnKeyDown(self, event): keycode = event.GetKeyCode() if keycode == wx.WXK_ESCAPE: ret = wx.MessageBox('Are you sure to quit?', 'Question', wx.YES_NO | wx.NO_DEFAULT, self) if ret == wx.YES: self.Close() event.Skip() def OnClick(self,event): text1.SetLabel(cnrl.GetValue()) def OnPaint(self, event): dc = wx.PaintDC(frame) dc.DrawBitmap(frame.bitmap, 20, 20) class MyTaskBarIcon(wx.TaskBarIcon): def __init__(self, frame): wx.TaskBarIcon.__init__(self) self.frame = frame self.SetIcon(wx.Icon('menu1.png', wx.BITMAP_TYPE_PNG)) self.Bind(wx.EVT_MENU, self.OnTaskBarActivate, id=1) self.Bind(wx.EVT_MENU, self.OnTaskBarDeactivate, id=2) self.Bind(wx.EVT_MENU, self.OnTaskBarClose, id=3) #self.frame.Bind(wx.EVT_CLOSE, self.OnClose) def CreatePopupMenu(self): menu = wx.Menu() menu.Append(1, 'Show') menu.Append(2, 'Hide') menu.Append(3, 'Close') return menu def OnTaskBarClose(self, event): self.frame.Close() def OnTaskBarActivate(self, event): if not self.frame.IsShown(): self.frame.Show() def OnTaskBarDeactivate(self, event): if self.frame.IsShown(): self.frame.Hide() def OnKeyboardEvent(event): global x, frame, frame2 if event.KeyID == 162: if x==1: frame.Close() frame2= MyFrame(None, -1, 'frame') x=0 else: frame2.Close() frame= MyFrame(None, -1, 'frame2') x=1 x=1 app = wx.App() frame = MyFrame(None, -1, 'Babylon') frame.tskic = MyTaskBarIcon(frame) frame.Show(True) app.SetTopWindow(frame) hm = pyHook.HookManager() hm.KeyDown = OnKeyboardEvent hm.HookKeyboard() pythoncom.PumpMessages() app.MainLoop() -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
