Hi,

I have a wx.Grid that I’m using for entry purpose
now I want to implement a comment routine like in
MS-Excel (Right click - > Insert Comment or Insert -> Comment).

Regards,
Pradeep

You'll need to be more descriptive since I have no idea what that does, having not used Excel for several years.

Hi,

May be the word “comment” confuse you its better to say “Note”.

Suppose we want to leave a note for a cell entry how we can?

for example, I want to be add comment in cell B3 as “BLUE, Rounded type”.

    1            2                      3                             4           5              6
··· 
 +------+----------------+---------------------------------+---------------+---------------+-------------+

A |Sl + Part No. + Description + Qty + Rate + Amount |
±-----±---------------±--------------------------------±--------------±--------------±------------+
B | 1 + 0402-112 + Halogen Bulb – + 100 + 2.10 + 210 |
C | 2 + 0402-123 + Connecting Rod + 100 + 2.10 + 210 |
D | 3 + 0402-122 + Camshaft + 100 + 2.10 + 210 |
±------±--------------±-------------------------------±--------------±--------------±------------+

now how we differentiate a cell have a note (comment)
in Excel way it is as follows:

  1. right hand side corner contains small red image.
  2. when we hold the mouse over the cell which shows the comment in tooltip

There isn't anything built-in like this, but it shouldn't be too hard to do it yourself. You need to use a custom cell renderer so you can draw the contents of the cells yourself, and include the note indicator. Then you'll also want to intercept the mouse events so you can sense when the mouse is being hovered over a cell, then you can either change the built-in tooltip's string, or show your own with wx.TipWindow, depending on how you want it to behave.

As far as I can understand, Pradeep Kumar looks for something like this method:
def TipWindow(self, Message):
# It builds up on the fly a wx.TipWindow volante, auto-erasing
wx.TipWindow(self, Message, 100, None)

for showing a cell note wxTooltip is OK.

But what about ADDING a cell note or EDITING a cell note
