Validating URL input in wx.TextCtrl

wxPython Users

Hello,

I am looking for quite some time now for a way to make my wx.TextCtrl widget accept only URL addresses. Is there any URL validating widget available in wxPython or does Python have any URL-validating method available? If not, can you give me some pointers on how should I go and implement such URL validation?

Thanks a bunch :slight_smile:

There is no builtin widget that I鈥檓 aware of. You might be able to build something using the MaskedEditControls though (see the wxPython demo for some examples). Otherwise, take a look at these links I found:
