In my wxPython Application I have a few wx.TextCtrl input fields for a form. My problem is, some of my wx.TextCtrl input fields are uneditable, meaning I can not type in the field nor can I select text that is in the field. My parent wx.Panel in my main.py file has two children a login wx.Panel and a wx.Notebook. The wx.TextCtrls in my login work great, but the wx.TextCtrls in my wx.Notebook do not work. The following code is from my main.py file where I create my wx.Notebook and add a page:
main.py
import wx
from LoginPanel import LoginPanel
from UserView import UserView
class MyFrame(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self, parent, ID, title):
wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, ID, title=title, size=(850,725))
# Creating Panels
self.main = wx.Panel(self)
self.mainLogin = LoginPanel(self.main,-1,addSpacers=1)
#start off showing the login panel
self.mainLogin.Show()
# Create a notebook on the panel
self.nb = wx.Notebook(self.main, 1)
#Start off hiding the Notebook until successfully logged in
self.nb.Hide()
# create the page windows as children of the notebook
self.userAdmin = UserView(parent=self.nb, ID=-1)
# add the pages to the notebook with the label to show on the tab
self.nb.AddPage(self.userAdmin, "Users")
# Bindings
self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.EvtLoginBtn, self.mainLogin.loginBtns.LoginBtn)
self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.EvtLogoutBtn, self.mainLogin.loginBtns.LogoutBtn)
# Create sizers
self.mainSizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
# Adding Objects to mainSizer
self.mainSizer.AddSpacer(10)
self.mainSizer.Add(self.mainLogin, 1, wx.ALL|wx.EXPAND)
self.mainSizer.Add(self.nb, 1, wx.ALL|wx.EXPAND)
# Set main sizer
self.main.SetAutoLayout(True)
self.main.SetSizer(self.mainSizer)
self.mainSizer.Fit(self.main)

How do I get self.userTxt and self.passTxt to be editable where I can enter text in and select it? Thank you for any and all help!
UPDATE:
The above code is a working on Python 2.7.8
As a quick fix, change
self.userEntryPnl = wx.Panel(self, 0)
To
self.userEntryPnl = wx.Panel(self.gridPnl, -1)
gridPnl was on top of userEntryPnl although userEntryPnl was visible. Because of that you couldn't edit what was underneath gridPnl.
