I have seen questions where you can share variables between classes -- which I can normally do fairly easily. However, I am trying to share a variables between a wx.Frame and a custom list control. Essentially, I have a class with an Editable ListCtrl which uses a dictionary to sort values in a list. I have normally just made the dictionary a global variable, but I am attempting to completely remove global variables from my code. How do I reference the dictionary in the ListCtrl class from the wx.Frame class? below is a snippet of the code.
Thanks!
class TMainForm(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwds):
kwds["style"] = wx.DEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE
wx.Frame.__init__(self, *args, **kwds)
self.Splitter = wx.SplitterWindow(self, -1)
self.Panel1 = wx.Panel(self.Splitter, -1)
self.Panel3 = wx.Panel(self.Splitter, -1)
self.Splitter.SplitVertically(self.Panel1,self.Panel3,450)
self.Notebook2 = wx.Notebook(self.Panel1, -1)
# This is the Panel my list is in
self.List1 = scrolled.ScrolledPanel(self.Notebook2, -1)
self.List1.SetupScrolling()
# This custom function creates the dictionary for list 1 (labeled self.List1Data)
self.CreateDictionary()
# This sets up the listctrl to reference the class EditableListCtrl
self.List1_list = EditableListCtrl(self.List1,-1,style=wx.LC_REPORT|wx.LC_SINGLE_SEL)
self.List1_list.InsertColumn(1,'Col 1')
self.List1_list.InsertColumn(2,'Col 2',format=wx.LIST_FORMAT_CENTRE)
items = self.List1Data.items()
index = 0
for key, data in items:
self.List1_list.InsertStringItem(index, data[0])
self.List1_list.SetStringItem(index, 1, data[1])
self.List1_list.SetItemData(index, key)
index += 1
self.List1_list.itemDataMap = self.List1Data
#...
# In this class i have "List1Data" which is a global variable. I want to grab self.List1Data
# from the TMainForm class and use it in here (instead of the List1Data global variable).
class EditableListCtrl(wx.ListCtrl, listmix.TextEditMixin, listmix.ColumnSorterMixin):
def __init__(self, parent, ID=wx.ID_ANY, pos=wx.DefaultPosition,
size=wx.DefaultSize, style=0):
wx.ListCtrl.__init__(self, parent, ID, pos, size, style)
listmix.ColumnSorterMixin.__init__(self, len(List1Data))
self.itemDataMap = List1Data
def GetListCtrl(self):
return self
Trying to follow suggested answer below:
class EditableListCtrl(wx.ListCtrl, listmix.TextEditMixin, listmix.ColumnSorterMixin):
def __init__(self, parent, ID=wx.ID_ANY, pos=wx.DefaultPosition,
size=wx.DefaultSize, style=0):
wx.ListCtrl.__init__(self, parent, ID, pos, size, style)
listmix.ColumnSorterMixin.__init__(self, len(self.List1Data))
self.itemDataMap = self.List1Data
def get_dict(self):
return self.List1Data
def GetListCtrl(self):
return self
* EDIT **
Full runnable code for my issue. See comment -- I want to be able to reference self.List1Data in TMainForm in the EditableListCtrl class. Thanks!

### your other methods now
You can access your List1Data from any place in other classes just using:
EditableListCtrl.List1Data
since now, List1Data is the part of your class definition.
