differences in layout between Windows Xp and linux gentoo

wxPython Users

I noticed cha my application has a different layout between os
microsoft os and linux gentoo.
For example, notice that the edges of wx.window
(style=wx.BORDER_THEME) are not displayed correctly on gentoo.
imho is a graphics library linux problem. Or wrong?

Hi,
from the wxwidget documentation
(http://docs.wxwidgets.org/stable/wx_wxmswport.html):

Note that in wxWidgets 2.9 and above, wxBORDER_THEME will be used on
all platforms to indicate that there should definitely be a border,
whose style is determined by wxWidgets for the current platform.
wxWidgets 2.9 and above will also be better at determining whether
there should be a themed border Because of the requirements of binary
compatibility, this automatic border capability could not be put into
wxWidgets 2.8 except for built-in, native controls.

Maybe this helps.
regards, Enrico

Hi,
looking for a quick way to print a text I used the code in the wxPyWiki page. Unfortunately in this code I discovered two bugs that I report here, maybe somebody is interested in this code. At the moment I'm not able to edit the wiki page so apologize.

The first one causes a crash after printing few times. In the code of the class

class Printer(wx.Printout):

the last line of

     def Print(self, text, doc_name):

should be written as

self.printer_config = wx.PrintData(prn.GetPrintDialogData().GetPrintData())

This forces the copy of PrintData.

The second one is related to function

     def GetPageInfo(self):

where the line

         maxPage = int(len(self.doc_text.split('\n'))/self.num_lines_per_page)

should be

         maxPage = int(len(self.doc_text.split('\n'))/self.num_lines_per_page) + 1

Regards, Enrico

Hi,

I just added this change to the wiki, I hope you don't mind as you mentioned you have trouble registering.

Why not? Just not enough time or is it preventing you from creating a user ID?

No, I only have a problem with my slow connection. Next week I will be back at my office so I will have no problem.
Thanks for updating the code.

Best regards, Enrico
