wxPython Users

I tried on my work machine that
has the same os. And it works there!!

Anybody have an idea what I need to do to make it work at home aswell?

The output of 'rpm -qa | grep wx | sort'

work:

python-wxGTK-2.4.1.2-70
python-wxGTK-doc-2.4.1.2-25
python-wxGTK-examples-2.4.1.2-25
wxGTK-2.4.1.2-70
wxGTK-gl-2.4.1.2-70
wxPythonGTK-devel-2.4.1.2-1

home:
python-wxGTK-2.4.1.2-70
python-wxGTK-doc-2.4.1.2-25
python-wxGTK-examples-2.4.1.2-25
wxGTK-2.4.2-1
wxGTK-devel-2.4.2-1
wxGTK-gl-2.4.1.2-70

Same python version 2.3+

Best regards,

The background is green on wxPython 2.4.1.2 (!) with
Python 2.3.2 on RedHat 8.

Hi,

I cant manage to set the background colour in wxTextCtrl.
I have made the smallest app possible that shows my problem.
If you run the code the text_ctrl is still white even
though I have done SetBackgroundColour on the text ctrl.

I have also tried with Refresh after setting the background.

Does anybody have an idea. I am quite sure it works, since
I've seen wxPython apps that does it.

I am using wxPython 2.4.2.4 on Linux.

Best regards,

Toni

I'd suggest rebuild wxPython, entirely, for GTK2.
See the README.1st.txt file in wxPythonSrc-2.4.1.2
and follow the instructions, verbatim.

When I came to work today I noticed that when I run on my
machine natively the background is white!!! But I see it flash
green for a short moment when I start the program.

So I have:

It works if I do:
From home --> Citrix --> Work computer

Directly on my home computer or work computer it doesnt
work only flashes green very quick.

Any ideas how to fix, now I dont think it has todo
with the wxGTK or wxPython.
