I’m working on a project where I’d like to fire a button event when a bitmap button is pressed, versus when its released. Using this method it doesn’t fire until I release the mouse:
self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.pressed(), id=self.whatever)
Can anyone think of a way to fire the event the moment its pressed?
I know that means detecting double clicks and things like that is impossible, which is fine.
How about using wx.EVT_LEFT_DOWN and wx.EVT_LEFT_UP [1] which trigger on left mouse down and up?

As Haris said, wx.EVT_LEFT_DOWN.

impossible, which is fine.
Widgets can't detect double clicks? Then how could double clicks ever be
used in software? Yet they are. So of course they can be detected (unless
I misunderstand what you meant?). And so wxPython has (from the same page
he linked):
EVT_LEFT_DCLICK Left mouse button double click event

It may depend on the platform, but I've seen cases where if the LEFT_DOWN handler eats the event then the system doesn't see it and won't know that a dclick event should be sent if there is another left-down within the time out period. Calling Skip should allow it to keep working if you need it.
