I am using XRC to generate py GUI code. Simply a wxFrame.
class MyFrame(xrcMAINFRAME):
def __init__(self, parent):
xrcMAINFRAME.__init__(self, parent)
self.Bind(wx.EVT_WINDOW_CREATE, self.OnCreate)
I want to do some post-initializatons in self.OnCreate, but,
strangely, it was never called. Why cannot the frame capture
wx.EVT_WINDOW_CREATE?
2. If I want to do some post-initializatons JUST AFTER all widgets are
created and shown up?
My work around now is bind EVT_SHOW of the mainframe and use a boolean
flag to ensure post-initialization only once. Is there any better and
standard method for my purpose?
3. How to invoke a menu_item_click in program?
eg: self.Bind(wx.EVT_MENU, self.OnInit, mainmenu.IDM_INIT)
If the post-initialization is automatically call a menu handler
self.OnInit, how to trigger it in program? In Win32 API, I can use:
SendMessage(hwnd, ....) , how about wxPython?

Because by the time you do the binding the create event has already been sent. It looks like you are using the code generated by XRCed/pywxrc, so you can override the PreCreate method and put your binding there.

That is as good as any other way to do it.

Why not just call self.OnInit(None) ? Otherwise you have to create a wx.CommandEvent with a type of wx.EVT_MENU.typeId, and an ID of mainmenu.IDM_INIT.GetId() and send it to the frame with frame.GetEventHandler().ProcessEvent(event). Personally I think just calling the method is a tad bit easier.
