agw.AUI - pane hide/show

I can't figure out how to dynamical show/hide a pane.

I do:
         self._mgr.AddPane(self.paneLog, aui.AuiPaneInfo().
                           Name("paneLog").Caption(_("vinoXML import error/warning log - read-only")).
                           Bottom().
                           Layer(2).
                           Position(0).
                           CaptionVisible(True).
                           CloseButton(False).
                           MaximizeButton(True).
                           MinimizeButton(True))

....

         pl = self.view._mgr.GetPane("paneLog")
         pl.Hide()
         self.view.paneLog.Hide()

If I now check pl.IsShown() and self.view.paneLog.IsShown() they both return "False", now I do:

self.view._mgr.Update()

And the status changes to Shown and the panel is obviously shown.

What am I missing?

Hi Werner,

I can't figure out how to dynamical show/hide a pane.

I do:
self._mgr.AddPane(self.paneLog, aui.AuiPaneInfo().
Name("paneLog").Caption(_("vinoXML import
error/warning log - read-only")).
Bottom().
Layer(2).
Position(0).
CaptionVisible(True).
CloseButton(False).
MaximizeButton(True).
MinimizeButton(True))

....

   pl = self\.view\.\_mgr\.GetPane\("paneLog"\)
   pl\.Hide\(\)
   self\.view\.paneLog\.Hide\(\)

If I now check pl.IsShown() and self.view.paneLog.IsShown() they both return
"False", now I do:

self.view._mgr.Update()

And the status changes to Shown and the panel is obviously shown.

What am I missing?

Uhm, nothing that I can see at the moment... does it happen even if you do:

pl = self.view._mgr.GetPane("paneLog")
pl.Hide()
self.view._mgr.Update()

Without the other call to "Hide()"?

Does it happen if you change it like this:

pl = self.view._mgr.GetPane(self.paneLog)
pl.Hide()
self.view._mgr.Update()

?

I use dynamically shown/hidden panes all the times, so I guess there
is something strange going on...

Hi Andrea,

Thanks for the quick reply.

It has to do with:

wx.CallAfter(self.persistRegisterControls)

Just stepped through it in the debugger and noticed that the above causes the persist loading to be done after I did the hide/update stuff.

If I don't use CallAfter then the hide/show works fine.

I am sure I had a reason to put CallAfter in in the first place, but stupid me didn't comment why.

Will just have to keep an eye on this.

Thanks
Werner
