Effective use of wxFrameBuilder

wxPython Users
1

As a brand-new wxFrameBuilder user I've created the project and the main
frame (menus, status bar, boxsizer, tabbed notebook). Next step is to add a
separate panel for each tab.

   What is the preferred approach for using wxFrameBuilder effectively?

   Should each panel on the notebook be a separate project so each has discrete
.py and .xrc files?

   My prior tabbed notebook project had the notebook as a separate class in
the main module, along with the main frame, menus, and status bar and
appropriate methods. Each panel was a separate module with the wxPython
framework and its appropriate methods. There's not much documentation that
I've found. I'm sure that with a bit of experience under my belt it will all
become (ahem!) 'intuitive.'

The short answer is: whatever approach makes the most sense to you and any others on your project. Experiment, try different approaches, choose one.

I have no long answer. :wink:

Robin,

   Thanks. Your short answer is ideal. I'm the only one on this project and
will use FB as I developed the UI without it.

Best regards,

Rich

Trying to learn how to use the latest wxFrameBuilder; it's frustating
without any docs.

   I try to add a choicebox, but as soon as I try to enter a second choice wxFB
crashes.

   This happens if I put all choices on a single line (but the up and down
arrows suggest this is not the correct way). It also happens after I enter
the first choice and press the Tab or Enter keys.

   How am I supposed to enter choices in this widget?

   Are there any docs for new uses like me?

The wxGlade documentation includes a tutorial. The documentation is also suitable for people who have not used wxPython before.

Dietmar,

   From what I can tell wxGlade is not the same as wxFrameBuilder.

   And, from trial-and-error I figured out how to populate the choicebox in
wxFrameBuilder.

Thanks,

Rich

It's a mis-typing of wxFormBuilder. :frowning:

Hi Rich,

I saw your answer in the other thread. So, I’m using wxFormBuilder for all my projects, with previous versions: yes it crash a lot and no, it don’t have any manual.

Choices: in the property control (left side of wxFB), you will find the choices one ( I’m writing this from my memory check the correct names) it have a button for add it, popups a little window where you can add one by one and select the order.

What’s your environment?

Mario,

   As I wrote in response to a previous message in the thread, I figured it
out by trial and error.

What's your environment?
