Border around StyledTextCtrl

wxPython Users
1 

Hello list,
We have an application where we use a styledtextctrl alongside comboboxes, normal textctrls etc. So I would like to have the styledtextctrl to have a border like the textctrl and combobox. I have added a style wx.SIMPLE_BORDER to the styledtextctrl but it does not show the border. Included is a screenshot.

Is there a way to get a border around the styledtextctrl?



Thanks in advance

Hello,

I don’t have an answer but I’m wondering if it shows the border in Windows or OS X?

I’m asking because I have a similar issue with a custom control I created and Linux is the only platform that doesn’t show the border. In my case it shows fine under Windows and OS X.

IIRC wx.BORDER_SIMPLE is meant to follow platform standards for certain types of windows, and it's possible that it may do nothing in some cases. You may try wx.BORDER_THEME instead, although I'm not certain it is fully implemented for wxGTK yet.
