Problem with auto-selection in wx masked control
Hi all, I'm trying to get the whole field selected when the caret arrives into a wx masked control. This is perfectly done with the program below. But if I comment out the line "r= dlg.ShowModal()", I get something different : the data within the field is no more correctly selected. Why ? And is there any solution ? If somebody have got an idea, I'd be delighted. Cheers, jm # import wx from wx.lib import masked #-- class TestPanel( wx.Panel ): def __init__( self, parent): wx.Panel.__init__( self, parent, -1 ) self.mask1 = masked.NumCtrl( self, -1, name="target control", pos=(20,50)) self.mask1.SetSelectOnEntry(True) self.mask1.SetValue(123.45678) self.Show() #-- class MainWindow(wx.Frame): def __init__(self,parent,id, title): wx.Frame.__init__(self,parent,wx.ID_ANY,title,size=(200 ,200)) win = TestPanel(self) dlg = wx.MessageDialog(self, 'Confirm') r= dlg.ShowModal() dlg.Destroy() self.Show() #-- app = wx.PySimpleApp() frame=MainWindow(None,-1,'') app.MainLoop() # -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Use a 3-state and change the state to 2 when you get the 1 state.
Here is a working modification to the demo :
if cb.Is3State():
self.log.write("\t3StateValue: %s\n" % cb.Get3StateValue())
if cb.Get3StateValue() == 1:
cb.Set3StateValue(2)

I'm used to practice windows & linux and it makes sense to use python on both because the compatibility is excellent. Take care to use os.sep as the file path separator if you plan to stay compatible. My favorite os is linux, but on windows you have pythonwin which is an excellent python extension with a very good debugger. Also boa works fine on windows but have annoying bugs on linux.

Actually, there is a problem when one generates an exe application with py2exe. In that case, the 3rd style checkmark looks 'disabled'... which is not what we want ! The best solution I can find at the moment is to switch back to the regular style (it allways happens when you are about to deliver your stuff...), but if you are still there, you'd better think about of it...

If you just tried to create a simple grid within a simple frame, you probably got a grid filling all the frame space, and it's what you want. Why that ? If you do it (for instance with the script below), and you try to manually reduce/increase the size of the window, you should see scrollbars at the edge of the window ; these scrollbars come from the grid, because they take in account the labels row and col (wxGrid comes from wxScrolledWindow). You can see that no more space is available beyond the scrollbar, so the grid takes the whole space. And why the white space on the right ? This space is not on the right of the grid, but on the right of the last col. We could think it's like that because it's not possible to compute an appropriate col size for the grid cols, but it's not displayed exactly the same in linux and in windows. In one case it's over the last col (not enough space) and in the other case it's beyond (too much space). I think that as the program must work on all the environments, the interface must stay enough global, and sometimes the display is not perfectly done. The advantage is that if we let wx decide, we won't have to think how to set the widgets.

self.tree = gizmos.TreeListCtrl(self, -1, style =
wx.TR_DEFAULT_STYLE| wx.TR_FULL_ROW_HIGHLIGHT)
# create some columns
self.tree.AddColumn("Connection")
self.tree.AddColumn("Alarm")
self.tree.AddColumn("Value")
self.tree.SetMainColumn(0)
self.root = self.tree.AddRoot("Connections")
self.tree.Expand(self.root)
self.tree.GetMainWindow().Bind(wx.EVT_RIGHT_UP, self.OnRightUp)
self.Show()
child = self.tree.AppendItem(self.root, 'name')
self.tree.SetItemText(child, 'name')
child2= self.tree.AppendItem(child,'name2')
##x = self.tree.AppendItem(child2, "")
x = self.tree.AppendItem(child2, "XXX")
self.tree.SetItemText(x, 'alarm', 1)
self.tree.SetItemText(x, 'value', 2)
def OnRightUp(self, evt):
pass

def __init__(self):
wx.MDIParentFrame.__init__(self, None, -1, "MDI Parent", size

Boa is well done for editing, simple objects generation, also for

All what you have to do is :
def __init__(self, parent):
self._init_ctrls(parent)
self.t1 = wx.Timer(self)
self.t1.Start(2000) # 2 seconds
self.Bind(wx.EVT_TIMER, self.OnTest1Timer)
def OnTest1Timer(self, evt):
if os.path.isfile('App1.py'):
i = wx.Image('image.jpg',wx.BITMAP_TYPE_JPEG)
b1 = wx.BitmapFromImage(i)
self.staticBitmap1.SetBitmap(b1)
And you can continue to use Boa as usual.

I had to do it recently, reading from mysql and pushing data into a
browser by cherryPy.
I used :
try:
val= dbString.decode('utf8').encode('iso-8859-1')
except UnicodeDecodeError:
val= dbString
The 'try:' was needed because of some extra-character on top of the 7
bits limit raising an exception.
I have no more explanations about that, and I must say it was a pain in
the neck to find a solution.
I guess in your case, you have to replace iso-8859-1 by something else
in the case it's not strictly the same that cp1250. The '4.9.2 Standard
Encodings' documentation section give some explanations.

Re: wxPython StatusBar Help
Hi,

> Does anybody know how to change the foreground colors in a wx.StatusBar
You can get inspiration from the following code, but the problem is you
will have also to draw all the status bar stuff, not only the foreground
color.
I don't know any other way. However, I'm used to 2.6 and I could miss
something existing in 2.8 (I think to OnCreateStatusBar which exists and
don't work in 2.6 and was supposed to work with the next release ; it
could be a clue).
Regards,

class MyStatusBar(wx.StatusBar):
def __init__(self,*args,**kargs):
wx.StatusBar.__init__(self,*args,**kargs)
self.Bind(wx.EVT_PAINT,self.OnPaint)
def OnPaint(self,event):
dc = wx.PaintDC(self)
self.Draw(dc)
def Draw(self,dc):
dc.BeginDrawing()
dc.SetBackground( wx.Brush("White") )
dc.Clear()
dc.SetPen(wx.Pen('BLACK'))
dc.DrawText(self.GetStatusText(),0,0)
dc.EndDrawing()
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = wx.PySimpleApp()
frame= wx.Frame(None,wx.ID_ANY,'test frame')
statusBar= MyStatusBar(frame,wx.ID_ANY)
statusBar.SetStatusText("status text..")
frame.SetStatusBar(statusBar)
frame.Show(True)

It's probably silly, but what's about 'del dcop' as the last line of
your loop ?

So it is an event management problem. The event loop is not yet finished when the program want to display something, potentially initiating a new event loop. If you don't want to bother with threads, the idle event approach is not so bad. Put something to display in a buffer, and display it only one time the gui have nothing else to do. I use it every time I can, and it's very safe and easy to do. Furthermore, you can still step into the program with a debugger, which can be tricky if the program uses threads (I'd say impossible, but I didn't try in fact).

Hi,
I tried and it worked (wrote into the file:).
Can you try to isolate exactly what part of the code is wrong ?

Here is the complete code:
htmlfile=file('jmbc.txt','w')
print >> htmlfile, "";
htmlfile.close()
