how to get value to a variable using wxpython

Question

please any one tell me what I have to do to get what i write in textctrl to a variable.

from visual import *
import wx
L = 320

w = window(width=2*(L+window.dwidth), height=L+window.dheight+window.menuheight,
       menus=True, title='Widgets')
p=w.panel
d = 20
tc = wx.TextCtrl(p, pos=(1.4*L,90),size=(150,90))
yy=GetValue()

GetValue is not working here. Please help.

Answer 1

I think you are trying to get the content of the textctrl named as tc . In that case this line

yy = GetValue() in your code should be

yy = tc.GetValue()

I would also recommend you to use some meaningful names for the variables. For an instance instead of yy use something like textctrlValue or textctrlContent or tcValue or tcContent , so that you know what this variable is actually for.

Answer 2

You probably mean yy = tc.GetValue() (last line of your code) which actually gets the value from the wx.TextCtrl you've created.

Your code will raise a NameError as it is now.
