Class API¶

class RibbonButtonBar(RibbonControl)¶

A ribbon button bar is similar to a traditional toolbar.

Methods¶

__init__(self, parent, id=wx.ID_ANY, pos=wx.DefaultPosition, size=wx.DefaultSize, agwStyle=0)¶

Default class constructor.

Parameters:

parent (wx.Window) – pointer to a parent window, typically a RibbonPanel;
id (integer) – window identifier. If wx.ID_ANY, will automatically create an identifier;
pos (tuple or wx.Point) – window position. wx.DefaultPosition indicates that wxPython should generate a default position for the window;
size (tuple or wx.Size) – window size. wx.DefaultSize indicates that wxPython should generate a default size for the window. If no suitable size can be found, the window will be sized to 20x20 pixels so that the window is visible but obviously not correctly sized;
agwStyle (integer) – the AGW-specific window style, currently unused.

AddButton(self, button_id, label, bitmap, bitmap_small=wx.NullBitmap, bitmap_disabled=wx.NullBitmap, bitmap_small_disabled=wx.NullBitmap, kind=RIBBON_BUTTON_NORMAL, help_string="", client_data=None)¶

Add a button to the button bar.

Parameters:

button_id (integer) – id of the new button (used for event callbacks);
label (string) – label of the new button;
bitmap – large bitmap of the new button, an instance of wx.Bitmap. Must be the same size as all other large bitmaps used on the button bar;
bitmap_small – small bitmap of the new button, an instance of wx.Bitmap. If left as NullBitmap, then a small bitmap will be automatically generated. Must be the same size as all other small bitmaps used on the button bar;
bitmap_disabled – large bitmap of the new button when it is disabled, an instance of wx.Bitmap. If left as NullBitmap, then a bitmap will be automatically generated from bitmap;
bitmap_small_disabled – small bitmap of the new button when it is disabled, an instance of wx.Bitmap. If left as NullBitmap, then a bitmap will be automatically generated from bitmap_small;

kind (integer) – the kind of button to add, one of the following values:

Button Kind	Hex Value	Description
`RIBBON_BUTTON_NORMAL`	0x1	Normal button or tool with a clickable area which causes some generic action.
`RIBBON_BUTTON_DROPDOWN`	0x2	Dropdown button or tool with a clickable area which typically causes a dropdown menu.
`RIBBON_BUTTON_HYBRID`	0x3	Button or tool with two clickable areas - one which causes a dropdown menu, and one which causes a generic action.
`RIBBON_BUTTON_TOGGLE`	0x4	Normal button or tool with a clickable area which toggles the button between a pressed and unpressed state.

client_data (object) – client data to associate with the new button (any Python object).

Returns:

An opaque pointer which can be used only with other button bar methods.

Returns:

A scaled representation of the input bitmap.

OnEraseBackground(self, event)¶

Handles the wx.EVT_ERASE_BACKGROUND event for RibbonButtonBar.

Parameters:: event – a EraseEvent event to be processed.

OnMouseDown(self, event)¶

Handles the wx.EVT_LEFT_DOWN event for RibbonButtonBar.

Parameters:: event – a MouseEvent event to be processed.

OnMouseEnter(self, event)¶

Handles the wx.EVT_ENTER_WINDOW event for RibbonButtonBar.

Parameters:: event – a MouseEvent event to be processed.

OnMouseLeave(self, event)¶

Handles the wx.EVT_LEAVE_WINDOW event for RibbonButtonBar.

Parameters:: event – a MouseEvent event to be processed.

OnMouseMove(self, event)¶

Handles the wx.EVT_MOTION event for RibbonButtonBar.

Parameters:: event – a MouseEvent event to be processed.

OnMouseUp(self, event)¶

Handles the wx.EVT_LEFT_UP event for RibbonButtonBar.

Parameters:: event – a MouseEvent event to be processed.

OnPaint(self, event)¶

Handles the wx.EVT_PAINT event for RibbonButtonBar.

Parameters:: event – a PaintEvent event to be processed.

OnSize(self, event)¶

Handles the wx.EVT_SIZE event for RibbonButtonBar.

Parameters:: event – a wx.SizeEvent event to be processed.

Realize(self)¶

Calculate button layouts and positions.

Must be called after buttons are added to the button bar, as otherwise the newly added buttons will not be displayed. In normal situations, it will be called automatically when RibbonBar.Realize() is called.

Note

Reimplemented from RibbonControl.

SetArtProvider(self, art)¶

Set the art provider to be used.

In many cases, setting the art provider will also set the art provider on all child windows which extend RibbonControl. In most cases, controls will not take ownership of the given pointer, with the notable exception being RibbonBar.SetArtProvider().

Parameters:: art – an art provider.

ToggleButton(self, button_id, checked=True)¶

Toggles/untoggles a RibbonButtonBar toggle button.

Parameters:

button_id (integer) – id of the button to be toggles/untoggled;
checked (bool) – True to toggle the button, False to untoggle it.

Raise:

Exception when the input button_id could not be associated with a RibbonButtonBar button.

TryCollapseLayout(self, original, first_btn, last_button=None)¶

UpdateWindowUI(self, flags)¶

This function sends one or more UpdateUIEvent to the window.

The particular implementation depends on the window; for example a ToolBar will send an update UI event for each toolbar button, and a wx.Frame will send an update UI event for each menubar menu item.

You can call this function from your application to ensure that your UI is up-to-date at this point (as far as your UpdateUIEvent handlers are concerned). This may be necessary if you have called UpdateUIEvent.SetMode or UpdateUIEvent.SetUpdateInterval to limit the overhead that wxWidgets incurs by sending update UI events in idle time.

Parameters:: flags (integer) – should be a bitlist of one or more of wx.UPDATE_UI_NONE, wx.UPDATE_UI_RECURSE or wx.UPDATE_UI_FROMIDLE.

If you are calling this function from an OnInternalIdle or OnIdle function, make sure you pass the wx.UPDATE_UI_FROMIDLE flag, since this tells the window to only update the UI elements that need to be updated in idle time. Some windows update their elements only when necessary, for example when a menu is about to be shown. The following is an example of how to call UpdateWindowUI from an idle function:

def OnInternalIdle(self):

    if wx.UpdateUIEvent.CanUpdate(self):
        self.UpdateWindowUI(wx.UPDATE_UI_FROMIDLE)

New in version 0.9.5.
