RadioBox in a menu: single line instead of multiple rows

profconn1 · June 15, 2020, 10:46pm

Is there any way to make radio buttons of a RadioBox in a menu (pull down on a frame) be on a single line (as opposed to multiple rows)?

Thx and cheers…

Try this, wxMSW only

https://wxpython.org/Phoenix/docs/html/wx.Menu.html?highlight=menu#wx.Menu.Break

Better still, look at the demo RadioBox.py.

github.com

wxWidgets/Phoenix/blob/705aa63d75715f8abe484f4559a37cb6b09decb3/demo/RadioBox.py

#!/usr/bin/env python

import wx

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------

class TestRadioBox(wx.Panel):
    def __init__(self, parent, log):
        self.log = log
        wx.Panel.__init__(self, parent, -1)
        #self.SetBackgroundColour(wx.BLUE)

        sampleList = ['zero', 'one', 'two', 'three', 'four', 'five',
                      'six', 'seven', 'eight']

        sizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)

        rb = wx.RadioBox(
                self, -1, "wx.RadioBox", wx.DefaultPosition, wx.DefaultSize,
                sampleList, 2, wx.RA_SPECIFY_COLS

Thx Thom, appreciate the response.

I saw the “Break” method but was not clear it would do what I wanted. I’ll use the code as a model and see if the results make sense for me.

BTW - the “import run” at the end of the RadioBox.py code…where does the module “run” come from? I got a “ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘run’” error when I tried to run RadioBox.py

Cheers…

The demo code is part of the wxPython demo application. Therefore it uses wrapped code to fit into that “framework”.

Look here on how you might adapt a single demo source to run independently from the main demo app.

https://wiki.wxpython.org/Using%20wxPython%20Demo%20Code

You should also be better off when downloading the demo - see topic Demo Application.

Then run:

<YourLocalPythonRootDir>/Lib/site-packages/wxPython-demo/demo.pyw
