Class API¶

class FlatMenuBar(wx.Panel)¶

Implements the generic owner-drawn menu bar for FlatMenu.

Methods¶

__init__(self, parent, id=wx.ID_ANY, iconSize=SmallIcons, spacer=SPACER, options=FM_OPT_SHOW_CUSTOMIZE|FM_OPT_IS_LCD)¶

Default class constructor.

Parameters:

parent – the menu bar parent, must not be None;
id (integer) – the window identifier. If wx.ID_ANY, will automatically create an identifier;
iconSize (integer) –
size of the icons in the toolbar. This can be one of the following values (in pixels):

iconSize Bit

Value

Description

LargeIcons

32

Use large 32x32 icons

SmallIcons

16

Use standard 16x16 icons
spacer (integer) – the space between the menu bar text and the menu bar border;

options (integer) – a combination of the following bits:

options Bit	Hex Value	Description
`FM_OPT_IS_LCD`	0x1	Use this style if your computer uses a LCD screen
`FM_OPT_MINIBAR`	0x2	Use this if you plan to use toolbar only
`FM_OPT_SHOW_CUSTOMIZE`	0x4	Show “customize link” in more menus, you will need to write your own handler. See demo.
`FM_OPT_SHOW_TOOLBAR`	0x8	Set this option is you are planing to use the toolbar

ActivateMenu(self, menuInfo)¶

Activates a menu.

Parameters:: menuInfo – an instance of wx.MenuEntryInfo.

ActivateNextMenu(self)¶: Activates next menu and make sure all others are non-active.

ActivatePreviousMenu(self)¶: Activates previous menu and make sure all others are non-active.

AddCheckTool(self, toolId, label="", bitmap1=wx.NullBitmap, bitmap2=wx.NullBitmap, shortHelp="", longHelp="")¶: Adds a new check (or toggle) tool to the toolbar.

See also

AddTool for parameter descriptions.

AddControl(self, control)¶

Adds any control to the toolbar, typically e.g. a combobox.

Parameters:: control – the control to be added, a subclass of wx.Window (but no TopLevelWindow).

AddRadioTool(self, toolId, label= "", bitmap1=wx.NullBitmap, bitmap2=wx.NullBitmap, shortHelp="", longHelp="")¶

Adds a new radio tool to the toolbar.

Consecutive radio tools form a radio group such that exactly one button in the group is pressed at any moment, in other words whenever a button in the group is pressed the previously pressed button is automatically released.

You should avoid having the radio groups of only one element as it would be impossible for the user to use such button.

By default, the first button in the radio group is initially pressed, the others are not.

See also

AddTool for parameter descriptions.

AddSeparator(self)¶: Adds a separator for spacing groups of tools in toolbar.

AddTool(self, toolId, label="", bitmap1=wx.NullBitmap, bitmap2=wx.NullBitmap, kind=wx.ITEM_NORMAL, shortHelp="", longHelp="")¶

Parameters:

toolId (integer) – an integer by which the tool may be identified in subsequent operations;
label (string) – the tool label string;
kind (integer) – may be wx.ITEM_NORMAL for a normal button (default), wx.ITEM_CHECK for a checkable tool (such tool stays pressed after it had been toggled) or wx.ITEM_RADIO for a checkable tool which makes part of a radio group of tools each of which is automatically unchecked whenever another button in the group is checked;
bitmap1 – the primary tool bitmap, an instance of wx.Bitmap;
bitmap2 – the bitmap used when the tool is disabled. If it is equal to NullBitmap, the disabled bitmap is automatically generated by greing out the normal one;
shortHelp (string) – a string used for the tools tooltip;
longHelp (string) – this string is shown in the StatusBar (if any) of the parent frame when the mouse pointer is inside the tool.
