Hi list,
I've got a TextCtrl that receive text used as part of a query.
I'd like it to wait for 2~3 seconds for other characters input
thus avoiding multiple and costly queries.
How can I introduce this delay?

I’ve got a TextCtrl that receive text used as part of a query.
I’d like it to wait for 2~3 seconds for other characters input
thus avoiding multiple and costly queries.
What event does the delay begin with?
How can I introduce this delay?
Use a wxTimer?

By the hit of the first key into the TextCtrl.

I guess so, some sort of timing auto restarting at zero on each key
hit. The PB is I don't see how to avoid a recursion.

def OnTimer(self, evt):
self.Timer.Stop()
self.PostQuery() # or whatever
def OnKeyPress(self, evt):
self.Timer.Stop()
self.Timer.Start()
What recursion?

Let see if I understand it:
This one seems to be triggered by the timer revolution achievement?
def OnTimer(self, evt):
self.Timer.Stop()
self.PostQuery() # or whatever
This one eventually stops a running timer and restart a new one?
def OnKeyPress(self, evt):
self.Timer.Stop()
self.Timer.Start()
What I don't understand is why the 1st block stops its own timer if
if is to be triggered at the end of timing?

A vasectomy means never having to say you're sorry.
In case it is a multi-shot timer, looking closer at the docs you would do:
self.Timer.Start(timelimit, True)
for the start and get rid of both Stop statements.

Correct. Calling Start on a running timer essentially does a restart.

So I did, unfortunately my favorite guinea-pig didn't like it: he
hadn't time to type his query (this one's representative as he can't
bear IT, need it badly and is quick tempered).

why dont you just do it onIdle ... that way who cares if its costly
theres not much else goin on so query...just have a flag if its
changed since last query and do the query on wx.EVT_IDLE

IMHO the OP meant that the price charged by the data centre for
processing each query was high in a monetary sense rather than that a
lot of processing power was used by each query....

No, I'm gonna go back to the CTRL-CR method; I often forget
that searching better is worse than keeping good enough:(

No, I meant it in term of bandwidth (there's a lot of users,
many road warriors and a not so big BW).
