RichTextAttr vs. TextAttrEx

wxPython Users

Hi,

I am trying to retrieve the character style of a piece of RichText. I have a RichTextCtrl object ‘rtc’ and use the following code:

import wx.richtext as rc

    oldStyle = rc.RichTextAttr()
    self.rtc.GetStyle(position = 0, style = oldStyle)
    print oldStyle.GetFontFaceName()

I get the following eroor:

AttributeError: ‘TextAttrEx’ object has no attribute ‘GetFontFaceName’

For some reason oldStyle is an TextAttrEx object instead of RichTextAttr. Does anyone have a clue what I am doing wrong here?

Thanks for your help.

RichTextAttr is just a compatibility alias for TextAttrEx. Everything in the python wrappers for RichTextCtrl switched to using just TextAttrEx a couple releases ago. (The C++ code has overloads for both of them for most functions, I just chose to support one for the wrappers to save a bunch of hassle.)

Try style.GetFont().GetFaceName() instead.
