Mouse events on text in Python using wxPython

Question

This is what I am trying to do:

I create a window and there is text that is displayed on it, as a user I click on the text, example: the displayed text is.

'Hello World, I am a Python program.'

So if the user clicks words, I want it to generate an event and it would go into a function and I want to do something in the function (like changing the color of that word, so I also need to track which word I clicked)

I am not so sure how to do that, I could potentially make each word a button but that would be ugly.

Answer 1

import wx
def SomeListener(evt):
    print "Got Event:",evt
    print "My XY:",evt.GetX(),evt.GetY()
    #youll have to figure out which word you clicked using x,y (note x,y relative to static text field)
a= wx.App(redirect=False)
f = wx.Frame(None,-1)
p = wx.Panel(f,-1)
t = wx.StaticText(p,-1,"Some Text")
t.Bind(wx.EVT_LEFT_DOWN,SomeListener)
f.Show()
a.MainLoop()

or using htmlwin ... but it underlines all the words... I wasnt able to figure out how to not do that

import wx

import wx.html
def OnClickWord(e):
    print "You Clicked:",e.GetLinkInfo().GetHref()
    return
class MyHtmlFrame(wx.Frame):

    def __init__(self, parent, title):

        wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, -1, title)

        html = wx.html.HtmlWindow(self)

        #if "gtk2" in wx.PlatformInfo:

        html.SetStandardFonts()

        html.SetPage(
        "<style>a {text-decoration: none;color: #000; }</style>" #sorry no css support :/
        "<a href=\"word1\">Word1</a> <a href=\"word2\">word 2</a> <a href=\"wizard of oz\">wizard of oz</a>.")

app = wx.PySimpleApp()

frm = MyHtmlFrame(None, "Simple HTML")
frm.Bind(wx.html.EVT_HTML_LINK_CLICKED,OnClickWord)
frm.Show()

app.MainLoop()
