Hello Kees, > and via the even handler I try to give StaticText a different style:
In general you *can not* change in runtime the style of a widget. Only a very limited subset of the wxPython widgets supports style changes in runtime. I would suggest you 2 alternatives: 1) Use wx.lib.stattext ==> GenStaticText (but I am not sure it will work, I don't think so, but you can try it); 2) Every time you call your event binder, Destroy() the StaticText with the old style and create a new one with the style you need. For example (untested code!!!): def VeranderLabel(self, event): if self.text1.GetWindowStyle() == wx.SUNKEN_BORDER: MyStyle = wx.RAISED_BORDER else: MyStyle = wx.SUNKEN_BORDER self.text1.Destroy() self.text1 = wx.StaticText(self.panel, -1, "Dikke Henk en gekke Greetje", size=(100,50), pos=(15,20), style=MyStyle) self.Refresh() HTH.
