New to wxPython, just a simple question.

I'm trying to create a sudoku solving program with wxPython, and I
like the look of the buttons when they are disabled more so than
enabled for this program, but I still need to capture events from the
button. So is there a way to change the look of a button without
actually disabling it?

Okay thanks for the replies and that code! I think taking a screenshot
of a disabled button and then placing that on a bitmap button is the
way to go.

Although you are of course free to create your GUI any way you want, if you are thinking of distributing your app to others, I would think a button that ought to be pressed but looks like it is disabled is not a good choice–although I guess not as bad as a button that cannot be pressed but looks like it is enabled :smiley:
