Problem with Platebuttons

kewlar · December 4, 2008, 12:25pm

I got this problem when using platebuttons.
I have a panel with a sizer and the sizer got the platebutton. But when I
click left mouse button on the panel (not on the button) the button gets
highlighted! Is this bug in the platebuttons or bug in my code?

so in the example there's two panels with buttons, when app starts for some
reason first button is highlighted already, but hover the mouse above it
first, then press on the lower panel, and then upper panel, then lower...
and you will see that pressing only the panel highlight the button

as a bonus bug the example code crash when you close it, have no idea why,
but that's not happening in my main program, so don't wonder too much about
that

see the code in http://pastebin.com/f7bed6246
or below:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-

import wx
import wx.lib.platebtn as platebtn

class MyFrame(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self):
wx.Frame.__init__(self, None, id=-1, title="test", size=(320,100))

main_panel = wx.Panel(self, -1)

      #button 1 & panel & sizer
      panel2 = wx.Panel(main_panel, -1)
      panel2.SetBackgroundColour("#FFFF00")
      button = platebtn.PlateButton(panel2, id_=wx.ID_ANY, label="Button 1",
style=platebtn.PB_STYLE_SQUARE)

      button_sizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
      button_sizer.Add(button, 0, wx.RIGHT|wx.ALIGN_RIGHT, 10)
      panel2.SetSizer(button_sizer)
      panel2.SetAutoLayout(True)

      #button 2 & panel & sizer
      panel3 = wx.Panel(main_panel, -1)
      panel3.SetBackgroundColour("#FFFFFF")
      button2 = platebtn.PlateButton(panel3, id_=wx.ID_ANY, label="Button
2", style=platebtn.PB_STYLE_SQUARE)

      button_sizer2 = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
      button_sizer2.Add(button2, 0, wx.RIGHT|wx.ALIGN_RIGHT, 10)
      panel3.SetSizer(button_sizer)
      panel3.SetAutoLayout(True)

      sizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
      sizer.Add(panel2, 0, wx.EXPAND)
      sizer.Add(panel3, 0, wx.EXPAND)

      main_panel.SetAutoLayout(True)
      main_panel.SetSizer(sizer)
      main_panel.Layout()

app = wx.PySimpleApp()
MyFrame().Show()
app.MainLoop()

please use this updated code instead original :

panel3 was using the same sizer as panel2 and that's why it was crashing...
but that wasn't my main problem here anyway.

Hello,

When you click on a panel a child control that AcceptsFocus is given the focus by the panel, the PlateButton shows its highlighted state when it has the focus.

If you want to override this behavior you can do as follows.

class myPlateButton(platebtn.PlateButton):
def __init__(self, ...):
platebtn.PlateButton.__init__(self, ...)

def AcceptsFocus(self):
return False

Thanks it worked with the panels. I had also another focus problem, if I did
click on the button and then minimize window to taskbar and then maximize it
(couldn't reproduce this with the example code) the platebutton got focus,
so I added this:
def SetFocus(self): return False
which solved that
