Issue with docking wx.listctrl window

wxPython Users
1

Hello All,

I’m trying to create a Frame with AuiManager. The code is attached.

Problem:

  • I want 2 windows to be docked in the frame. One is a text control and other is a list control.

  • The text control gets docked, but on trying to dock the list control, all the tabs dis-appear.

The tabs appear only when the list control window is kept floating.

In the attached code the list control window is kept floating. This can be docked

To see the issue with docking, comment line 33 and un-comment line 35 in the attached file and then try to execute, the issue would be clearly visible. On un-docking the window1, the tabs again appear…

Please let me the solution to this ASAP

Thanks a lot Robin.

I tried using self.log and instead of self.log.list. Code is attached. But this gives me a panel and listctrl in it. The extra blank space around the listctrl in window1 is something that I don’t need.

Please help.

Regards,

The main problem is that you are putting the listctrl on a panel, but

you are telling AUI to manage the listctrl, not the panel. If I
understand correctly then your other problems stem from that as well.
Try passing self.log to AddPane, instead of self.log.list.

Use a sizer to manage the layout of the listctrl.
