Help!
I am a non-GUI programmer who is trying to write a simple (!) program using wxPython.
I have read everything I can online, but my overall lack of GUI experience is presumably causing me to not see the problem.
In a nutshell, I want to have a window with a wxNotebook with several tabs. Each tab, of course, will have its own child widgets. I envision having either a wxListCtrl (as in my code) or possibly a wxGrid control, along with several buttons.
Here is my "EmployeesPanel" class. When I run this, I see a tiny square that must represent the listctrl, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to make it look correct. Of course, it is possible that I am way off base in some other area(s) as well.
Any help as to what I am doing wrong would be greatly appreciated.
Here is the code:
import wx
import sys
employees = [('Earl Boffo', 'Software'), ('Mildred Plotka', 'Software'), ('Sugar Kane', 'QA')]
classes = [('Python'), ('Java'), ('C#')]
class EmployeesPanel(wx.Panel):
def __init__(self, parent):
wx.Panel.__init__(self, parent)
# create some sizers
mainSizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
grid = wx.GridBagSizer(hgap=5, vgap=5)
#hSizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.HORIZONTAL|wx.EXPAND)
hSizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.HORIZONTAL)
panel = wx.Panel(self, -1)
self.list = wx.ListCtrl(panel, size=(100,100), style=wx.LC_REPORT)
self.list.InsertColumn(0, 'Name')
self.list.InsertColumn(1, 'Group')
for i in employees:
index = self.list.InsertStringItem(sys.maxint, i[0])
self.list.SetStringItem(index, 1, i[1])
# A button
self.button = wx.Button(self, label="Exit")
self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.OnClick,self.button)
self.list.Show(True)
# add the listctrl widget to the grid
grid.Add(self.list, pos=(0,0), flag=wx.EXPAND|wx.ALL)
# add the button to the grid
grid.Add(self.button, pos=(1,0))
# add a spacer to the sizer
grid.Add((10, 40), pos=(1,1))
# add grid to hSizer
hSizer.Add(grid, 0, wx.ALL, 5)
# add hSizer to main (v) sizer
mainSizer.Add(hSizer, 0, wx.ALL, 5)
self.SetSizerAndFit(mainSizer)
self.Show()
def EvtComboBox(self, event):
self.logger.AppendText('EvtComboBox: %s\n' % event.GetString())
def OnClick(self,event):
sys.exit(3)
app = wx.App(False)
frame = wx.Frame(None, title="Training Tracker", size=(700,500))
nb = wx.Notebook(frame)
nb.AddPage(EmployeesPanel(nb), "Employees")
frame.Show()
app.MainLoop()
Welcome to wxPython! It's actually a lot of fun once you get the hang of it. I almost never use the grid sizers as they're just a pain for simple layouts like this. If you have a grid like interface and you don't have controls that are going to stretch across cells, then it's great. Otherwise, I almost always use BoxSizers nested in each other. I simplified your code quite a bit to show the two widgets. Currently the list control only stretches horizontally. If you need it to go vertically too, then change the proportion from 0 to 1 in the sizer.Add part.
import wx
import sys
employees = [('Earl Boffo', 'Software'), ('Mildred Plotka', 'Software'), ('Sugar Kane', 'QA')]
classes = [('Python'), ('Java'), ('C#')]
class EmployeesPanel(wx.Panel):
def __init__(self, parent):
wx.Panel.__init__(self, parent)
# create some sizers
mainSizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
self.list = wx.ListCtrl(self, size=(100,100), style=wx.LC_REPORT)
self.list.InsertColumn(0, 'Name')
self.list.InsertColumn(1, 'Group')
for i in employees:
index = self.list.InsertStringItem(sys.maxint, i[0])
self.list.SetStringItem(index, 1, i[1])
# A button
self.button = wx.Button(self, label="Exit")
self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.OnClick,self.button)
mainSizer.Add(self.list, 0, wx.EXPAND|wx.ALL, 5)
mainSizer.Add(self.button, 0, wx.ALL, 5)
self.SetSizer(mainSizer)
self.Show()
def EvtComboBox(self, event):
self.logger.AppendText('EvtComboBox: %s\n' % event.GetString())
def OnClick(self,event):
sys.exit(3)
app = wx.App(False)
frame = wx.Frame(None, title="Training Tracker", size=(700,500))
nb = wx.Notebook(frame)
nb.AddPage(EmployeesPanel(nb), "Employees")
frame.Show()
app.MainLoop()
