Hi,
I’m starting an aplication (my 1st to deploy in python/wxPython) and
it needs a “inverse” or selected efect in a static text but I can’t do it.
I the statictext demo (2.8.9.2) changing the values also doesn’t work.
Any one notice the problem.
Thanks in advance
Ubuntu 8.10, python 2.5, wxPython 2.8.9.2

unfortunately I can't use the TextCtrl because it can have a focus.
So? Call the text control's Disable() method and it no longer accepts focus. Of course, I don't see why you cannot use a Listbox. You can make programmatic calls on it to tell it which line to select too.
What I'm trying to do, is a column in StaticText that behave like a list box but controlled from a other controls,
these controls select and delesect the "rows"First Line ^ Second Line ^ ^ Third Line Forth Line v v Fifth Line v
imagine that when you press the ^ area the program set the colours black and white in the 3 column
and invert the co lours in the 2 columnFirst Line ^ Second Line ^ ^ Third Line Forth Line v v Fifth Line v

Mike,

because I need a put a bitmap image in the foreground!
My I put screen shots in the mailing list? It will be easy to explain.
Thank you.

Well, what the heck!? You never said jack about a bitmap image. No wonder no one can answer your question. By all means, email some photos.

Hi Jorge,

I'm not aware of any controls that have that functionality built into them. You'll probably want to roll your own widget or create a composite widget. As I recall, there are directions on the wiki. You can probably also do it using DCs, but I don't know how to do that sort of thing. Check the demo.

Hi Mike,
what annoy me is that SetBackgroundColour doesn’t work in normal use or in the demo.
Is it a bug?
Thank you.

It's platform dependent. It works on Windows. It does not on GTK. If you want your app to run on both, use TextCtrl.

Thanks, Rene, for that investigation. I get the impression, though, from
questions about "background handling" on this list in the past (I've asked
some about how to let gradients shine through on all platforms), that for
native controls there is nothing one can do. Workarounds seem to be to
either draw something directly on oneself, or use or create a generic
control, or use a similar control creatively (such as the suggestion in this
thread to use a wx.TextCtrl).

Dear Jorge, Mike,
I can confirm this problem. Indeed I am just working on Chapter 7 of
Robin's "wxPython In Action" and I did test listing 7.1 on my WinXP laptop
and my Linux box. Both run Python 2.5. and wxPython 2.8.The code is:
rev = wx\.StaticText\(panel, \-1, "Static Text With ReversedColors", (100, 30))
rev.SetForegroundColour('white')
rev.SetBackgroundColour('black')When the program is run, it displays exactly as Figure 7.1 in the book (p.
186) on my WinXP laptop but the same text doesn't show up on my Linux box.
Nothing to see (maybe it is still white on white ?).I'm just looking at the documentation (
http://xoomer.virgilio.it/infinity77/wxPython/Widgets/wx.StaticText.html )
to realize that both methods (SetForegroundColour() and
SetBackgroundColour()) are not wx.StaticText methods but methods from the
wx.Window parent class. So, looking there I see a few notes that intrigue me
further:Note: The interpretation of foreground colour is open to interpretation
according to the window class; it may be the text colour or other colour, or
it may not be used at all.
Note: The background colour is usually painted by the default wx.EraseEvent
event handler function under Windows and automatically under GTK.
Note: Note that setting the background colour does not cause an immediate
refresh, so you may wish to call ClearBackground or Refresh after calling
this function. Using this function will disable attempts to use themes for
this window, if the system supports them. Use with care since usually the
themes represent the appearance chosen by the user to be used for all
applications on the system.Unfortunately I don't have time anymore this evening to investigate further
on this matter.Maybe the above can hint to a solution.

Rene,
I did the same test with the same result!
works in Windows but not in Linux.
My code work bad in Linux(only changing the text color) and do nothing in Windows.
Jean-Marie,
I try but it doesn’t have transparency.
Attached my code press the arrow down and then the arrow up, because it only affect 2 lines.

You are correct. If the native control doesn't have that feature, then you cannot use it in that way. Create your own control, use a generic one or use the DC stuff.

It’s probably a platform implementation thing. Some platforms support it and some do not. With native widgets comes native customs. That’s why we have generic controls and such. Robin can comment on this better than I can. Hopefully he will.
Static texts and some other widgets are not true widgets in the wxGTK port, they are just drawn directly on the parent. So that means that they do not automatically inherit all of the features of the base widget class, and background colors is one of those.
There is a generic implementation in wx.lib.stattext that you can use instead, although from your screenshot I expect that it wont be much help either. You’ll want to make a custom widget that draws all the text and the image in a single widget.

Hi,
I think I solve the problem using DC.
Thanks a lot to all of you.

Several samples in the demo and the wiki show it in action, as well as the generic widgets in the wx.lib package.
