Python ObjectListView add animation when the list is empty

Right now, I am writing a python program using ObjectListView package. When the list is empty, the back ground will show words "This list is empty". But I want to change it into an animation. How to realize it? Do I have to change the ObjectListView library to realize it?

Solution

  • "This list is empty" is shown in a StaticText control (named stEmptyListMsg). You can change the message and the font by calling SetEmptyListMsg and SetEmptyListMsgFont respectively.

    If you want to replace the StaticText with an animation, then, I think, you should write your own custom ListCtrl based on ObjectListView or ListCtrl.
