How to bind an event to a ribbon button click in wxpython-phoenix


I want to know how to use bind method with ribbon button in wxpython for python 3.4 (Phoenix version 3.0.3) because I tried all possible ways used with menus and buttons but all the time I have an error looks like:

File "C:\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\wx\core.py", line 1200, in _EvtHandler_Bind assert source is None or hasattr(source, 'GetId') AssertionError

please help with simple example if possible. Thanks in advance.


Solution

  • I found a solution to my problem by using

    import wx.ribbon as RB
    

    instead of:

    import wx.lib.agw.ribbon as RB
    

    and bind with:

    import wx
    import wx.ribbon as RB
    # Class code goes here...
    self.ribbon = RB.RibbonBar(self,wx.NewId())
    self.page_home = RB.RibbonPage(self.ribbon, wx.NewId(), "Home")
    self.panel1 = RB.RibbonPanel(self.page_home, wx.ID_ANY, "Panel#1")
    self.button_bar1 = RB.RibbonButtonBar(self.panel1)
    bmp = wx.ArtProvider.GetBitmap(wx.ART_NEW, wx.ART_OTHER, wx.Size(32, 32))
    self.button_bar1_Exit = self.button_bar1.AddButton(wx.ID_ANY, "Exit", bmp, 'Close Window')
    self.button_bar1.Bind(RB.EVT_RIBBONBUTTONBAR_CLICKED, self.on_button_bar1)
    def on_button_bar1(self, event):
        button = event.GetButton()
        if button == self.button_bar1_Exit:
            self.Close()
    

    I will leave my answer which worked for me perfectly without accepting it for a while to give a chance for better idea, if not I will accept mine.
