hyperlink in a grid cell

wxPython Users
1

I've tried to follow your hints with the following code (self is a grid) but I'm not succeeding in getting a hand-shape cursor hovering on colum 2. Where am I going wrong? (maybe there is also an offset problem with the grid labels?)

Marco

        self.timer = wx.Timer(self)
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_TIMER, self.OnTimer, self.timer)
        self.timer.Start(100)
    def OnTimer(self,evt):
        ms = wx.GetMouseState()
        xy = self.ScreenToClient((ms.x, ms.y))
        r,c = self.XYToCell(xy[0],xy[1])
        print r,c
        if c==2:
            self.SetCursor(wx.StockCursor(wx.CURSOR_HAND))
        else:
            self.SetCursor(wx.StockCursor(wx.CURSOR_DEFAULT))
        evt.Skip()

Bind wx.MOUSE_BTN_LEFT to your grid, capture its x and y coordinates,
find the cell, then use webbrowser.open(url).

Based on your OnTimer definition, you would need at least 3 columns in
your grid. If you only had 2, then it would never change the cursor.
Aside from that, it looks like it should work.
