2 problems I am facing. Grid and autocomplete in textCtrl

azrael · August 18, 2009, 5:13pm

Hi folks

I am facing 2 problems.

1)
I tried googlig for the last 4 hours and I am getting crazy
I can not find the method how to highlight a specific row in a grid
when I click on a cell in the row. It should look like when I click od
the label of a row.
I thought myself of just changing the background color but this does
not sattisfy me.

def OnGridPregledGridCellLeftClick(self, event):
self.grid.XXX(event.GetRow())

is there any way to to this.

2)

The second thing I am needing help with is a problem I am facing with
Events of a TextCtrl.

I wanted to create an autocomplete TextCtrl that is connected with a
database from witch it gets the suggested words.

self.txtUlica = wx.TextCtrl(-1, name='txtUlica',
              parent=self, pos=wx.Point(352, 48), size=wx.Size(120,
21),
              style=0, value='')
self.txtUlica.Bind(wx.EVT_TEXT, self.OnTxtUlicaText,
              self.txtUlica)

···

---------------------------------------------

    def OnTxtUlicaText(self, event):
        currentUlica = self.txtUlica.GetValue()
        suggestedUlica = self.DbAdapter.selByLike(currentUlica)
        if suggestedUlica != "None":
            self.txtUlica.SetValue(suggestedUlica)
            self.txtUlica.SetSelection(len(currentUlica), len
(suggestedUlica))

------------------------------------------

Here I need some advise. Till now It is working fine. If I want to
write for example "Carry" and I type "Car", it writes Carry and
selects the part "ry". But if I want to write "Car", then "ry" stays
anyway even if I try to delete it.
So I thought myself to bind also another Eventhandler wich would react
with the TAB or ENTER key. I thought myself that this could be
wx.EVT_TEXT_ENTER event but I failed.

Any advise how to do it? Or is it maybe the KeyEvents

Thnx

You just need to call

self.grid.SelectRow(event.GetRow())

To browse all the methods, do this:

dir(wx.grid.Grid)

That's how I found it. But it's also listed in the docs:

http://www.wxpython.org/docs/api/wx.grid.Grid-class.html

I Allready tried that. It only sets the value of a row in a list that
is retrived through the GetSelectedRows method. It does not highlight
the entire row. The highlighting is the thing that is bugging me.

It highlights the entire row for me on Windows XP, Python 2.5,
wxPython 2.8.10.1. Otherwise, I wouldn't have posted that.

It would be good if you gave what OS, Python and wxPython versions you
are using so others could try to replicate the problem.

Windows xp,

wxpython v.2.8.8.1

Any ideas about the other problem?

I don't know. You might want to upgrade your wxPython though. There's
a wiki entry on autocompletion that might help too:

http://wiki.wxpython.org/TextCtrlAutoComplete

Otherwise, hopefully someone else will drop in here.

If the widget is in a container that is taking care of the wx.TAB_TRAVERSAL then the Tab and Enter keys are going to be used for navigation and will likely be stolen before your event handlers get them. For the wx.TextCtrl there are the wx.TE_PROCESS_TAB and wx.TE_PROCESS_ENTER style flags that you can use that should let those keys result in EVT_CHAR and EVT_TEXT_ENTER events.

I Think that I can get it around through the event object and it's
getter method event.GetKeyCode()

I solved the other problem using elf.grid.SetSelectionMode
(wx.grid.Grid.wxGridSelectRows) plus I found something that can
improve it a bit. now it functions like a listctrl.
