Extracting Values from wxPanels

I have a newbie question about wxPython

I am trying to extract values out of fields with my wxPanel. I am not sure
how to do this. The values that I am interested in are the two values in
the wxTectCtrl and the value in the wxChoice.

Here is my code:

from wxPython.wx import *
class Preq_form(wxPanel):
    def __init__(self, parent, id):
        wxPanel.__init__(self, parent, id)
        customer_id = 5675768556
        text = "Customer ID: %10d" % customer_id
        self.quote = wxStaticText(self, -1, text,wxPoint(20, 30))

        # Enter Data
        self.lblname1 = wxStaticText(self, -1, "First name
:",wxPoint(20,60))
        self.edit1 = wxTextCtrl(self, 20, "", wxPoint(170, 60),
wxSize(140,-1))
        
        self.lblname2 = wxStaticText(self, -1, "Last name :",wxPoint(20,90))
        self.edit2 = wxTextCtrl(self, 20, "", wxPoint(170, 90),
wxSize(140,-1))
        
        sampleList = ['0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9',
'10']
       
        self.lblname3 = wxStaticText(self, -1, "Years :", wxPoint(20, 150))
        self.choice = wxChoice(self, 40, (170, 150), choices = sampleList)
        EVT_CHOICE(self, 40, self.EvtChoice)
        EVT_TEXT(self, 20,self.EvtText)

       def EvtText(self, event):
        self.logger.AppendText('EvtText: %s\n' % event.GetString())
        self.logger.AppendText('edit1: %s\n' % self.edit1.GetString())
        self.logger.AppendText('edit2: %s\n' % self.edit2.GetString())

      def EvtChoice(self, event):
        self.logger.AppendText('EvtCoice: %d\n' % self.choice.GetString())

app = wxPySimpleApp()
frame = wxFrame(None, -1, " Enter Data")
Preq_form(frame,-1)
frame.Show(1)
app.MainLoop()

Hi Henry,

Attached a changed version of your code.

I replaced your hard coded id's for the controls, not absolutely necessary, but who wants to keep track of these ID's manually.

I don't know what you use as IDE, you might want to look at Boa Constructor (Boa Constructor - wxPython GUI Builder download | SourceForge.net), I find it easier to create screen layouts (BTW, the CVS version supports sizers - also not quit perfect).

See you
Werner

Try GetValue instead of GetString.
