A generic MessageBox derived from wx.Dialog - python

As pointed out in some other topics, wx.MessageDialog doesn't respond to many API functions, such as an external call from Destroy(), etc. So there is a need for building a wx.GenericMessageBox derived from wx.Dialog.
Here it is :
import wx
class GenericMessageBox(wx.Dialog):
def __init__(self, parent, text, title = ''):
wx.Dialog.__init__(self, parent, -1, title = title, size = (360,120), style = wx.DEFAULT_DIALOG_STYLE)
panel = wx.Panel(self, wx.ID_ANY, size = (360, 50), pos = (0,0))
panel.SetBackgroundColour('#FFFFFF')
label = wx.StaticText(panel, -1, text, pos = (50,20))
panel2 = wx.Panel(self, wx.ID_ANY, size = (360, 40), pos = (0, 50))
btn = wx.Button(panel2, wx.ID_OK, pos = (250,7))
self.ShowModal()
app = wx.App()
frame = wx.Frame(None, 0, 'Test')
frame.Show()
GenericMessageBox(frame, 'This is a message box that is derived from wx.Dialog. You can Destroy() it from anywhere in the code.', 'Test')
app.MainLoop()
Unlike wx.lib.agw.genericmessagedialog, this one's goal is to have the closest look possible to native OS look (here Windows look). [genericmessagedialog has pictures in the buttons, which is not like Windows' native look]
How would it be possible to improve this dialog in order that it its size is automatically increased if StaticText needs two lines?
Moreover the OK button (x,y) positionning is okay and centered on the grey panel on my machine, but would it be the same on other platforms?
(I think such a snippet could be useful for community.)


To manage the Layout, it is better to use Sizer instead of position.
You can have a try with following code:
use self.setMessageLine(Num) to set the output to see the difference.
import wx
class MyDialog ( wx.Dialog ):
def __init__( self, parent ):
wx.Dialog.__init__ ( self, parent, id = wx.ID_ANY, title = wx.EmptyString, pos = wx.DefaultPosition, size = wx.Size( 300,200 ), style = wx.DEFAULT_DIALOG_STYLE )
#set the minimum Size of the frame to Fit()
self.SetSizeHintsSz( wx.Size( 300,-1 ), wx.DefaultSize )
fgSizer = wx.FlexGridSizer( 2, 1, 0, 0 )
fgSizer.AddGrowableCol( 0 )
fgSizer.AddGrowableRow( 0 )
fgSizer.SetFlexibleDirection( wx.BOTH )
fgSizer.SetNonFlexibleGrowMode( wx.FLEX_GROWMODE_ALL )
self.m_panel = wx.Panel( self, wx.ID_ANY, wx.DefaultPosition, wx.DefaultSize, wx.SIMPLE_BORDER|wx.TAB_TRAVERSAL )
gSizer = wx.GridSizer( 1, 1, 0, 0 )
self.m_staticText = wx.StaticText( self.m_panel, wx.ID_ANY, u"test", wx.DefaultPosition, wx.DefaultSize, 0 )
self.m_staticText.Wrap( 10 )
gSizer.Add( self.m_staticText, 0, wx.ALIGN_CENTER|wx.ALL, 5 )
self.m_panel.SetSizer( gSizer )
self.m_panel.Layout()
gSizer.Fit( self.m_panel )
fgSizer.Add( self.m_panel, 1, wx.EXPAND |wx.ALL, 5 )
m_sdbSizer = wx.StdDialogButtonSizer()
self.m_sdbSizerOK = wx.Button( self, wx.ID_OK )
m_sdbSizer.AddButton( self.m_sdbSizerOK )
self.m_sdbSizerCancel = wx.Button( self, wx.ID_CANCEL )
m_sdbSizer.AddButton( self.m_sdbSizerCancel )
m_sdbSizer.Realize()
fgSizer.Add( m_sdbSizer, 1, wx.ALL|wx.EXPAND, 5 )
self.SetSizer( fgSizer )
self.Layout()
self.Centre( wx.BOTH )
self.setMessageLine(10)
def setMessageLine(self, messageLine):
msg = ""
for i in range(0, messageLine):
msg += "Line %d \n" % i
self.m_staticText.SetLabel(msg)
self.Fit()
if __name__ == '__main__':
app = wx.App()

pass wx.grid to wx.frame WX.python

All im trying to do is have 2 classes
1- creates a grid
2- takes the grid and puts it into a wx.notebook
so basically one class makes the grid the other class takes the grid as parameter and add it to the wx.notebook
but I keep getting an error that says
self.m_grid1 = wx.grid.Grid(self) TypeError: Grid(): arguments did not match any overloaded call:
overload 1: too many arguments
overload 2: argument 1 has unexpected type 'reportGrid'
and here is the code for the Grid class is called
reportGrid
class reportGrid ():
def __init__( self, list):
self.m_grid1 = wx.grid.Grid(self)
self.m_grid1.Create(parent = None, id=wx.ID_ANY, pos=wx.DefaultPosition, size=wx.DefaultSize, style=wx.WANTS_CHARS, name="Grid")

and here the class that takes it as a parameter and suppose to create notebook
class reportFrame ( wx.Frame ):
def __init__( self, parent , grid1):

bSizer14.Add( grid1, 0, wx.ALL, 5 )
self.m_panel2.SetSizer( bSizer14 )
self.m_panel2.Layout()
bSizer14.Fit( self.m_panel2 )
self.m_notebook1.AddPage( self.m_panel2, u"a page", False )
self.m_panel3 = wx.Panel( self.m_notebook1, wx.ID_ANY, wx.DefaultPosition, wx.DefaultSize, wx.TAB_TRAVERSAL )

self.m_panel3.SetSizer( bSizer17 )
self.m_panel3.Layout()
bSizer17.Fit( self.m_panel3 )
self.m_notebook1.AddPage( self.m_panel3, u"a page", True )
bSizer6.Add( self.m_notebook1, 1, wx.EXPAND |wx.ALL, 3 )
self.SetSizer( bSizer6 )
self.Layout()
self.Centre( wx.BOTH )
self.Show(show=True)

wx.grid.Grid(self) here self must be a wx.Window (or subclass) type. In your code it's reportGrid type.
But reportGrid is not a wx.Window nor a subclass of wx.Window.
If you have a page "pagegrid" (for example, of type wx.Panel or subclass) of the wx.Notebook then you can set
class reportGrid (wx.Panel):
def __init__( self, list):
self.m_grid1 = wx.grid.Grid(self)
and inside your notebook definition
pagegrid = reportGrid(nb)
nb.AddPage(pagegrid , "Grid Page")

Remove Duplicate Image From wx.StaticBitmap

I have a problem with wx.StaticBitmap when I SetBitmap in it, it shows the image but always duplicate the image: one as static background and one as the bitmap that I showed. Please see this screenshot -> duplicate_image_wxstaticbitmap.png
This is my code:
import wx
import wx.xrc
from PIL import Image
class MyFrame1 ( wx.Frame ):
def __init__( self, parent ):
wx.Frame.__init__ ( self, parent, id = wx.ID_ANY, title = wx.EmptyString, pos = wx.DefaultPosition, size = wx.Size( 440,514 ), style = wx.DEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE|wx.TAB_TRAVERSAL )
self.SetSizeHintsSz( wx.DefaultSize, wx.DefaultSize )
bSizer1 = wx.BoxSizer( wx.VERTICAL )
sbSizer1 = wx.StaticBoxSizer( wx.StaticBox( self, wx.ID_ANY, u"COMPOSITE" ), wx.VERTICAL )
self.composite_sb = wx.StaticBitmap( sbSizer1.GetStaticBox(), wx.ID_ANY, wx.NullBitmap, wx.DefaultPosition, wx.Size( 400,400 ), 0 )
sbSizer1.Add( self.composite_sb, 0, wx.ALL, 5 )
bSizer1.Add( sbSizer1, 1, wx.ALL|wx.EXPAND, 5 )
self.load_img_btn = wx.Button( self, wx.ID_ANY, u"Load Image", wx.DefaultPosition, wx.DefaultSize, 0 )
bSizer1.Add( self.load_img_btn, 0, wx.ALL|wx.EXPAND, 5 )
self.SetSizer( bSizer1 )
self.Layout()
self.Centre( wx.BOTH )
self.load_img_btn.Bind( wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.loadImage )
def loadImage( self, event ):
myPilImage = Image.open('result.tiff')
myWxImage = wx.EmptyImage( myPilImage.size[0], myPilImage.size[1] )
myWxImage.SetData( myPilImage.convert( 'RGB' ).tobytes() )
#myWxImage = myWxImage.Scale(400,400)
self.composite_sb.SetBitmap(wx.BitmapFromImage(myWxImage))
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = wx.App(False)
frame = MyFrame1(None)
frame.Show()
app.MainLoop()

This behaviour (showing the bitmap on two different positions at the same time on MSW) is along the lines of this wxwidgets trac ticket. Should be resolved, but seems still to be an issue.
This also seems to be coupled to the behaviour of the native MSW control, which will center the bitmap in the allocated space (and not put it into the upper left corner). If you are searching, there can more tickets be found regarding this issue.
A simple workaround, which fixes things for me on wxPython 3.0.2 (classic, MSW) is:
def loadImage( self, event ):
# ...
self.composite_sb.SetBitmap(wx.BitmapFromImage(myWxImage))
self.Layout()
Obviously self.Layout() forces the controls in the frame to "decide" where the contents should be drawn.

Objects which needs to be scrolled down to see are not visible

I'm using wxpython to code this simple form. A notebook with a scroll bar and few text controls is what i have used.I can see the widgets which are view-able on screen but the ones which needs to be scrolled down are not visible. In my code below i could see upto "Enter the Logs" and appropriate text control for that fields but the "review fields are missing along with submit and cancel buttons.

When adding your items to the sizer, you consistently set the proportion value to 1, with the exception of self.sub_button. It is that which is causing your problem.
inside_sizer_h9.Add(self.sub_button, wx.ALL, 5)
should read:
inside_sizer_h9.Add(self.sub_button,1, wx.ALL, 5)
Note also that the posted code main is incorrect and should read:
if __name__ == "__main__":
With those amendments you code should work as you wrote it.

Wxpython: Code behaving different in Windows and Linux

The following code compiles and runs good on both windows and linux platforms, but the fields which needs to be scrolled for viewing(V_scroll) are missing from windows but no such problems with linux. wx 3.0 is installed in windows and 2.8.1 in linux. Would that be a problem?

I don't see why you use so many sizers, here I use a FlexGridSizer instead. But your problem is really due to you using self.SetSizer(vbox) and then later self.SetSizer(sizer), the first one should be self.scroll.SetSizer(vbox).
There is one issue I haven't figured out with the following, that is the TextCtrl where I defined wx.EXPAND are not expanding.

how to get better control of window sizes in wxPython

I am trying to build a GUI with wxPython. (BTW, this problem is from work, and I am typing from home because I can't access this site from work. Maybe that's a firewall problem? Anyway, that's why I'm doing this from memory and can't give any screenshots.) My first collection of controls is a vertical stack. A static text is on top. Below it is a BoxSizer holding three text controls added horizontally. Below that is another static text. On the bottom is one final text control. The problem is the three text controls in the BoxSizer. If I add them without the proportion argument, everything generally looks good. But I want them to be different sizes. So, when I add the proportion arguments (4, 3, and 16 if that matters) the three text controls become far too large and greatly increase the width of the frame. The bottom text control expands to equal the length of the three top text controls too. So, I can get the overall size of everything right if I give up the proportions of the three text controls. Or I can get their proportions right if I give up the overall horizontal size that I want. But I really need both. Is there a way? Thanks.

A little example of code would help a lot.
I could not understand how setting the proportion of the widgets in the sizer increases the width of the frame!
Anyways, you can set the size of the textctrl widgets when creating them, which might take care of both the proportion and overall size issues. You will only need to calculate the appropriate sizes beforehand.
If it helps in any way, here's an example of a frame with the specifications you provided:
import wx
class Frame ( wx.Frame ):
def __init__( self, parent ):
wx.Frame.__init__ ( self, parent, id = wx.ID_ANY, title = wx.EmptyString, pos = wx.DefaultPosition, size = wx.Size( 400,400 ), style = wx.DEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE|wx.TAB_TRAVERSAL )
self.SetSizeHintsSz( wx.DefaultSize, wx.DefaultSize )
sizer = wx.BoxSizer( wx.VERTICAL )
self.panel = wx.Panel( self, wx.ID_ANY, wx.DefaultPosition, wx.DefaultSize, wx.TAB_TRAVERSAL )
sizer_0 = wx.BoxSizer( wx.VERTICAL )
self.static_text_top = wx.StaticText( self.panel, wx.ID_ANY, u"Something Something", wx.DefaultPosition, wx.DefaultSize, 0 )
self.static_text_top.Wrap( -1 )
sizer_0.Add( self.static_text_top, 0, wx.ALL, 5 )
sizer_01 = wx.BoxSizer( wx.HORIZONTAL )
self.textCtrl1 = wx.TextCtrl( self.panel, wx.ID_ANY, wx.EmptyString, wx.DefaultPosition, wx.DefaultSize, 0 )
sizer_01.Add( self.textCtrl1, 4, wx.ALL, 5 )
self.textCtrl2 = wx.TextCtrl( self.panel, wx.ID_ANY, wx.EmptyString, wx.DefaultPosition, wx.DefaultSize, 0 )
sizer_01.Add( self.textCtrl2, 3, wx.ALL, 5 )
self.textCtrl3 = wx.TextCtrl( self.panel, wx.ID_ANY, wx.EmptyString, wx.DefaultPosition, wx.DefaultSize, 0 )
sizer_01.Add( self.textCtrl3, 16, wx.ALL, 5 )
sizer_0.Add( sizer_01, 0, wx.EXPAND, 0 )
self.static_text_middle = wx.StaticText( self.panel, wx.ID_ANY, u"Something else", wx.DefaultPosition, wx.DefaultSize, 0 )
self.static_text_middle.Wrap( -1 )
sizer_0.Add( self.static_text_middle, 0, wx.ALL, 5 )
self.textCtrl4 = wx.TextCtrl( self.panel, wx.ID_ANY, wx.EmptyString, wx.DefaultPosition, wx.DefaultSize, 0 )
sizer_0.Add( self.textCtrl4, 1, wx.ALL|wx.EXPAND, 5 )
self.panel.SetSizer( sizer_0 )
self.panel.Layout()
sizer_0.Fit( self.panel )
sizer.Add( self.panel, 1, wx.EXPAND |wx.ALL, 0 )
self.SetSizer( sizer )
self.Layout()
self.Centre( wx.BOTH )
self.Show()
