I have a simple application which contains several wx.TextCtrl objects
on a panel. I want to run a calculation and update some other
wx.StaticText controls with the results on the panel every time one of
the TextCtrl objects is modified.
Should I be simply binding the wx.EVT_TEXT to a function which does
the calculation? Like this:
self.Bind(wx.EVT_TEXT,self.DoSomeCalcAndUpdate)
I'm assuming I don't have to bind this event for each TextCtrl on the
panel. Also, is there a better way to capture events from
modifications to one of those text controls?

If it works the same way as having a few buttons in a panel, which
seems like a reasonable assumption, then when you omit a source as
the 3rd argument in the call to Bind(), the specified object(e.g. self)
is notified of the specified event no matter which widget it comes
from--so it acts as a catch all, and the event handler will execute.
On the other hand, if you specify a source as the 3rd
argument to Bind()--for instance the variable name of a specific
TextCtrl--then that event handler will only fire when the event occurs
on that widget. Also, if there is a catch all binding as well, like this:
