i am trying to modularise my code. below is the code generated from wxformbuilder..
class MyFrame ( wx.Frame ):
def __init__( self, parent ):
wx.Frame.__init__ ( self, parent, id = wx.ID_ANY, title = wx.EmptyString, pos = wx.DefaultPosition, size = wx.Size( 776,483 ), style = wx.DEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE|wx.TAB_TRAVERSAL )
self.SetSizeHints( wx.DefaultSize, wx.DefaultSize )
self.m_menubar1 = wx.MenuBar( 0 )
self.m_menu1 = wx.Menu()
self.m_menubar1.Append( self.m_menu1, u"MyMenu" )
self.m_menu2 = wx.Menu()
self.m_menubar1.Append( self.m_menu2, u"MyMenu2" )
self.m_menu3 = wx.Menu()
self.m_menubar1.Append( self.m_menu3, u"MyMenu3" )
self.SetMenuBar( self.m_menubar1 )
bSizer4 = wx.BoxSizer( wx.HORIZONTAL )
self.splitter_window = wx.SplitterWindow( self, wx.ID_ANY, wx.DefaultPosition, wx.DefaultSize, wx.SP_3DBORDER )
self.splitter_window.Bind( wx.EVT_IDLE, self.splitter_windowOnIdle )
self.left_window = wx.Panel( self.splitter_window, wx.ID_ANY, wx.DefaultPosition, wx.DefaultSize, wx.TAB_TRAVERSAL )
self.right_window = wx.Panel( self.splitter_window, wx.ID_ANY, wx.DefaultPosition, wx.DefaultSize, wx.TAB_TRAVERSAL )
bSizer5 = wx.BoxSizer( wx.VERTICAL )
self.m_notebook2 = wx.Notebook( self.right_window, wx.ID_ANY, wx.DefaultPosition, wx.DefaultSize, 0 )
self.left_panel = wx.Panel( self.m_notebook2, wx.ID_ANY, wx.DefaultPosition, wx.DefaultSize, wx.TAB_TRAVERSAL )
self.m_notebook2.AddPage( self.left_panel, u"a page", False )
self.right_panel = wx.Panel( self.m_notebook2, wx.ID_ANY, wx.DefaultPosition, wx.DefaultSize, wx.TAB_TRAVERSAL )
self.m_notebook2.AddPage( self.right_panel, u"a page", False )
bSizer5.Add( self.m_notebook2, 1, wx.EXPAND |wx.ALL, 5 )
self.right_window.SetSizer( bSizer5 )
self.right_window.Layout()
bSizer5.Fit( self.right_window )
self.splitter_window.SplitVertically( self.left_window, self.right_window, 200 )
bSizer4.Add( self.splitter_window, 1, wx.EXPAND, 5 )
self.SetSizer( bSizer4 )
self.Layout()
self.Centre( wx.BOTH )
def __del__( self ):
pass
def splitter_windowOnIdle( self, event ):
self.splitter_window.SetSashPosition( 200 )
self.splitter_window.Unbind( wx.EVT_IDLE )
and this is the way am trying to create separate classes for each panels and windows
import wx
import wx.lib.inspection
class l_window(wx.Panel):
def __init__( self , parent):
super().__init__(self, parent)
left_window = wx.Panel(self, wx.ID_ANY, wx.DefaultPosition, wx.DefaultSize, wx.TAB_TRAVERSAL )
class r_window(wx.Panel):
def __init__( self , parent):
super().__init__(self, parent)
self.right_window = wx.Panel( self, wx.ID_ANY, wx.DefaultPosition, wx.DefaultSize, wx.TAB_TRAVERSAL )
bSizer5 = wx.BoxSizer( wx.VERTICAL )
self.m_notebook2 = wx.Notebook( self.right_window, wx.ID_ANY, wx.DefaultPosition, wx.DefaultSize, 0 )
self.left_panel = wx.Panel( self.m_notebook2, wx.ID_ANY, wx.DefaultPosition, wx.DefaultSize, wx.TAB_TRAVERSAL )
self.m_notebook2.AddPage( self.left_panel, u"a page", False )
self.right_panel = wx.Panel( self.m_notebook2, wx.ID_ANY, wx.DefaultPosition, wx.DefaultSize, wx.TAB_TRAVERSAL )
self.m_notebook2.AddPage( self.right_panel, u"a2 page", False )
bSizer5.Add( self.m_notebook2, 1, wx.EXPAND |wx.ALL, 5 )
class menu_( wx.Menu ):
def __init__(self, parent):
self.m_menubar1 = wx.MenuBar( 0 )
self.m_menu1 = wx.Menu()
self.m_menubar1.Append( self.m_menu1, u"MyMenu" )
self.m_menu2 = wx.Menu()
self.m_menubar1.Append( self.m_menu2, u"MyMenu2" )
self.m_menu3 = wx.Menu()
self.m_menubar1.Append( self.m_menu3, u"MyMenu3" )
class MyFrame( wx.Frame ):
def __init__( self, parent ):
wx.Frame.__init__ ( self, parent,
id = wx.ID_ANY,
title = wx.EmptyString,
pos = wx.DefaultPosition,
size = wx.Size( 900,600 ),
style = wx.DEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE|wx.TAB_TRAVERSAL )
self.SetMenuBar( menu_ )
bSizer4 = wx.BoxSizer( wx.HORIZONTAL )
self.splitter_window = wx.SplitterWindow( self, wx.ID_ANY, wx.DefaultPosition, wx.DefaultSize, wx.SP_3D )
l1 = l_window(self.splitter_window)
r1 = r_window(self.splitter_window)
self.splitter_window.SplitVertically(l1, r1, 200)
bSizer4.Add( self.splitter_window, 1, wx.EXPAND, 5 )
self.SetSizer( bSizer4 )
app = wx.App()
frame = MyFrame(parent=None)
frame.Show()
wx.lib.inspection.InspectionTool().Show()
app.MainLoop()
this has produced me so many errors on different combinations i tried...
goal here is to factor code of gui segments, in its own different classes(that can be put in different files altogether) for long term manageability.
Layout is : top Frame has menu bar, also boxsizer that contains splitterwindow, splitterwindow has 2 panes left_window and right_window. right pane consist a notebook with two panels inside.
any suggestions?
After using wxPython for just a short time I learned that structure was vital to enable you to code and maintain efficiently. For small apps a single file with multiple classes will suffice, but as the controls and/or panels and dialogs increase then organising the code in separate files becomes indispensible
A similar question has been asked and answered before (Confused on how to structure the GUI (wxpython))
In one answer I show how the code can be organised into 4 files, for example
