Class API

class GenStaticText(wx.Control)

GenStaticText is a generic implementation of wx.StaticText.

Methods

__init__(self, parent, ID=-1, label="", pos=wx.DefaultPosition, size=wx.DefaultSize, style=0, name="genstattext")

Default class constructor.

Parameters:

• parent (wx.Window) – parent window, must not be None;

• ID (integer) – window identifier. A value of -1 indicates a default value;

• label (string) – the static text label (i.e., its text label);

• pos (tuple or wx.Point) – the control position. A value of (-1, -1) indicates a default position, chosen by either the windowing system or wxPython, depending on platform;

• size (tuple or wx.Size) – the control size. A value of (-1, -1) indicates a default size, chosen by either the windowing system or wxPython, depending on platform;

• style (integer) – the underlying wx.Control style;

• name (string) – the widget name.

---

AcceptsFocus(self)

Can this window be given focus by mouse click?

Note

Overridden from wx.Control.

---

Disable(self)

Disables the control.

Returns:

True if the window has been disabled, False if it had been already disabled before the call to this function.

Note

This is functionally equivalent of calling Enable with a False flag.

Note

Overridden from wx.Control.

---

DoGetBestSize(self)

Overridden base class virtual. Determines the best size of the control based on the label size and the current font.

Note

Overridden from wx.Control.

---

Enable(self, enable=True)

Enable or disable the widget for user input.

Parameters:

enable (bool) – If True, enables the window for input. If False, disables the window.

Returns:

True if the window has been enabled or disabled, False if nothing was done, i.e. if the window had already been in the specified state.

Note

Note that when a parent window is disabled, all of its children are disabled as well and they are re-enabled again when the parent is.

Note

Overridden from wx.Control.

---

GetDefaultAttributes(self)

Overridden base class virtual. By default we should use the same font/colour attributes as the native wx.StaticText.

Note

Overridden from wx.Control.

---

OnEraseBackground(self, event)

Handles the wx.EVT_ERASE_BACKGROUND event for GenStaticText.

Parameters:

event – a wx.EraseEvent event to be processed.

Note

This is intentionally empty to reduce flicker.

---

OnPaint(self, event)

Handles the wx.EVT_PAINT for GenStaticText.

Parameters:

event – a wx.PaintEvent event to be processed.

---

SetFont(self, font)

Sets the static text font and updates the control’s size to exactly fit the label unless the control has wx.ST_NO_AUTORESIZE flag.

Parameters:

font (wx.Font) – a valid font instance, which will be the new font used to display the text.

---

SetLabel(self, label)

Sets the static text label and updates the control’s size to exactly fit the label unless the control has wx.ST_NO_AUTORESIZE flag.

Parameters:

label (string) – the static text label (i.e., its text label).

---

ShouldInheritColours(self)

Overridden base class virtual. If the parent has non-default colours then we want this control to inherit them.

Note

Overridden from wx.Control.
