Hi,

I’m afraid there is nothing built in that can give you that widget straight away. However, it could be done in many different ways. One possibility would be:

  1. It looks like a palette, so it’s a simple floating wx.MiniFrame

  2. If the categories needs to be “foldable”, then I would use FoldPanelBar, otherwise a simple sequence of wx.Panels in a main sizer

  3. Each “tool” inside a category can be a wx.Button with an image on it, all organized in a nice wx.FlexGridSizer, although I think UltimateListCtrl could be tweaked to get a similar effect.

I would also look into the wxGlade GUI code if I were you, they do something similar (although not exactly the same) in the control palette.

Or, if you really are into creating custom controls, you could look into making it an owner-drawn full blown widget. It all depends on the functionalities you need.

Hi Andrea,

Looks like FoldPanelBar + UltimateListCtrl using Icon view will works… thanks for your comments!
