So what I want to do is use a standard dialog (e.g. a MessageDialog),
but modify the labels of the OK/CANCEL buttons.
It was suggested that I use the FindWindowById, but when I do
dialog = wx.MessageDialog(self, "message", "title", wx.OK|
wx.CANCEL)
print dialog.FindWindowById(wx.ID_OK)
I get None.
The same result with FindWindowByName and ByLabel
I'd appreciate any idea on how to modify the standard labels, or on
how to get FindWindow to work in python.
What would the new labels be - in other words can you explain a bit more what your reasons are to change the labels of a standard dialog. As the name "standard" implies the use of these dialogs is pretty well defined and the buttons match pretty well the intended use.
If you need it for non standard dialogs, i.e. a dialog you create then the label is totally up to you (see attached).
If you haven't already done so have a look at the wxPython demo, bottom left search for "dialog" and for "stock", the first search will show you all the available dialogs and the second gives you the available stock buttons.

What I want is for the ok button to say ‘Add’, cancel can stay
i know how to build my own dialog, but see no harm in having the ability to access my buttons.
That was what FindWindowById supposed to do, and I know it works from C++
Any reason it does not work from python?

As I recall, we don’t always have access to every widget in a wx.MessageDialog because the OS itself doesn’t allow it. Remember, wxPython wraps the native widgets where ever possible. This may be one of those cases. If so, then rolling your own wx.Dialog is the way to go. It’s really not that hard.
That’s how I think of it, too. What I’m surprised about is that the wxWidgets API shows a method, SetOKLabel(ButtonLabel), which “Overrides the default label of the OK button.” wxPython doesn’t have this method.
Also, I’m surprised you could find the msgDialog by ID by searching for wx.OK, as I thought that was just a style flag.

The problem is that wx.MessageDialog is not a real wx.Dialog, it is just a wrapper around a native API function. So there is no wx.Button that can be found with one of the Find methods. There is a generic message dialog class in wx.lib.agw that you can use instead that is a real wx.Dialog and is also implemented in Python code, so it is easy to override behavior as needed. I also recently added a MultiMessageDialog class in wx.lib.dialogs that is much like a wx.MessageDialog but it is able to have an extra block of text that is scrollable and it explicitly supports changing the labels of the stock buttons.

It does in 2.9, it's a new feature. I don't think I've actually tried it however so I'm not sure if it's implemented for all platforms.

Yeah, that should have been wx.ID_OK.

Haven't tried it on all platforms yet but it does work on Windows (wx2.9):
There appears to be a method for each possible enumeration of buttons
supported by the dialog.
SetOKCancelLabels("OK Button String", "Cancel Button string")
SetOkLabel("Ok Label String")
SetYesNoCancelLabels(...,...,...)
...

Hi guys,
I am new to wx.Python framework.
I want to set custom labels for button in wx.TextEntryDialog, wx.MessageBox and wx.FileDialogue.
Is there any way that I can set custom label for ok , cancel, save, open button?
I want to set the custom label since I am implementing a internationalization, which supports different language.
so obviously ok text will be ‘some chinese translated ok text’ in chinese.
Hi!
The standard buttons should get localized by wx itself.
E.g. the standard OK button is typically created by wx.Button(self, wx.ID_OK), i.e. without the need to provide a label.
The standard dialogs are creating the buttons like this.
On my german Windows, I get german labels by default.
To change the language, try something like self.locale = wx.Locale(wx.LANGUAGE_DEFAULT) or self.locale = wx.Locale(wx.LANGUAGE_CHINESE).
