How to merge checklist and combobox behaviour ?

wxPython Users
1

Dear all,

I've looking for hours on wxpython demos to find a combination of :
- a choice/combobox widget
- and a checkboxlist

My goal is to add a standard choice list into a toolbar (that's OK) ,
but I would like the items displayed to be checkable (that is KO) in a
same way as it would for a standard checklist.

Did I miss something or this kind of widget doesn't exist yet ?

Do I have to implement a custom widget on a derived class of
wx.ControlWithItems or wx.ItemContainer (but there's only string
involved)

Thanks.

Maybe the checklistbox combined with a popupcontrol? In the demo the popupcontrol uses a calendar control, but it can really just about be any control which pops up.

Take a look at the wx.combo.ComboCtrl class. It works like a combobox but you implement the contents and behavior of the popup yourself.

I’ve done something like this with a comboctrl, as Robin mentioned, and it works well.
