Hi.

Well, I am newbie with wxpython…sorry :wink: .

I am trying to add a textctrl in a toolbar but filled.

And I can not.

This is the example code:

···

#!/usr/bin/env python

import wx

class MainWindow(wx.Frame):
def init(self, parent, ID, title):
wx.Frame.init(self, parent, wx.ID_ANY, title)
panel = wx.Panel(self, wx.ID_ANY)
text = wx.StaticText(panel, wx.ID_ANY, “Hello, World!”, wx.Point(10, 5), wx.Size(-1, -1))

    self.toolbar = self.CreateToolBar()
    self.toolbar.AddSeparator()
   
    text = wx.TextCtrl(self.toolbar, size=(140, -1))
   
    hbox = wx.BoxSizer(wx.HORIZONTAL)
    hbox.Add(text, 1, wx.EXPAND | wx.ALL)
   
    self.toolbar.AddControl(hbox)
    self.toolbar.Realize()
   
    menubar = wx.MenuBar()
    fileMenu = wx.Menu()
    fitem = fileMenu.Append(wx.ID_EXIT, 'Quit', 'Quit application')
    menubar.Append(fileMenu, '&File')
    self.SetMenuBar(menubar)
   
    self.Bind(wx.EVT_MENU, self.OnQuit, fitem)

def OnQuit(self, e):
    self.Close()

class Test(wx.App):
def OnInit(self):
frame = MainWindow(None, wx.ID_ANY, “test”)
self.SetTopWindow(frame)
frame.Show(True)

    return True

if name == ‘main’:
app = Test()
app.MainLoop()

Regards and thanks.

Hi Miguel,

When running your sample I get:

File "D:\devOther\samplesTest\MiguelMatias\tbwithtc.py", line 45, in <module>
   app = Test()
File "c:\Python34\Lib\site-packages\wx\core.py", line 1864, in __init__
   self._BootstrapApp()
 File "D:\devOther\samplesTest\MiguelMatias\tbwithtc.py", line 37, in OnInit
   frame = MainWindow(None, wx.ID_ANY, "test")
 File "D:\devOther\samplesTest\MiguelMatias\tbwithtc.py", line 21, in __init__
   self.toolbar.AddControl(hbox)

builtins.TypeError: ToolBar.AddControl(): argument 1 has unexpected type 'BoxSizer'

Which gives you a hint, i.e. a BoxSizer is not a control, while using sizers in general is a very good idea but you don't need that with the ToolBar. Just add your 'text' to the toolbar, e.g.:

         self.toolbar.AddControl(text)

Yes, thanks.

But how I can set the textCtrl to fit all horizontal size in toolbar?

Regards.
