Changing Standard Buttons

wxPython Users

I know how to create a button with one of the stock pixmaps and labels
by using the appropriate wx.ID_* constants in the constructor. Is there
any way to change the appearance of such a button to another stock icon
and label after creation. Simply doing button.SetId(wx.ID_whatever)
doesn't seem to work.

Also, to repeat a question from a couple of days ago: Is there a
standard idiom for implementing the basic Edit menu options (Copy, Cut,
Paste, Delete) portably in a dialog with multiple text controls?

Thanks,
Jay

Don't know, but why are you not creating it correctly in the first place?

Did you see the drag and drop stuff in the wxPython demo (section Clipboard and DnD) and the following wiki pages:

http://wiki.wxpython.org/index.cgi/DragAndDrop

Thanks,

How do we do it in, say wxglade, in a custom dialog?
