ScrolledPanel with vertical scrollbar only and WrapSizer


I uses a WrapSizer in order to have an automatic layout (as thumbnail gallery) like this (see screenshot on the left) :

enter image description here

I would like that if there are two many elements, a (vertical only)-ScrollBar is added on the panel (see right screenshot). How to add such a vertical scrollbar to a panel using a WrapSizer?


I tried by mixing WrapSizer and ScrolledPanel, but I cannot get the desired layout.

class MyPanel(scrolled.ScrolledPanel):
    def __init__(self, parent):
        scrolled.ScrolledPanel.__init__(self, parent)
        self.SetBackgroundColour('#f8f8f8')
        sizer = wx.WrapSizer()
        self.SetupScrolling()

        # add some widgets btn1, btn2, etc. in the WrapSizer
        sizer.Add(btn1, 0, wx.ALL, 10)
        sizer.Add(btn2, 0, wx.ALL, 10)

Solution

  • Solution:

    reset the width of the scroll panel virtual size to the displayable size.

    import wx
    import wx.lib.scrolledpanel as scrolled
    
    class MyPanel(scrolled.ScrolledPanel):
        def __init__(self, parent):
            scrolled.ScrolledPanel.__init__(self, parent, style=wx.VSCROLL)
            self.SetBackgroundColour('#f8f8f8')
            self.sizer = wx.WrapSizer()
            self.SetupScrolling(scroll_x = False)
            self.parent = parent
    
            self.addButton(self.sizer , 10)
            self.SetSizer(self.sizer )
            self.Bind(wx.EVT_SIZE, self.onSize)
    
        def onSize(self, evt):
            size = self.GetSize()
            vsize = self.GetVirtualSize()
            self.SetVirtualSize((size[0], vsize[1]))
    
            evt.Skip()
    
        def addButton(self, sizer, num):
            for i in range(1, num):
                btn =wx.Button( self, wx.ID_ANY, "btn"+str(i), wx.DefaultPosition, wx.DefaultSize, 0 )
                sizer.Add(btn, 0, wx.ALL, 10)
    
    if __name__=='__main__':
        app = wx.App(redirect=False)
        frame = wx.Frame(None)
        MyPanel(frame)
        frame.Show()
        app.MainLoop()
