wx.Menu how do I change group of a radiobutton?

Soren · July 16, 2010, 8:39pm

Hi,

I’ve created a wx.Menu with a submenu with several radioitems… for cosmetic reasons I want a separator that splits the radiotems but I still want it to function as one group. When I create the separator, a new group is formed (as it should according to the documentation) and selecting an item in the first group of radioitems will not deselect any in the second group. Is there a way I can easily connect this new group to the one before the separator?

Thanks
Soren

I would guess all you need to do is to have an wxEVT_COMMAND_MENU_SELECTED handler for all your radio items that deselect all the others for you - i.e. you will have to handle the radio group bit yourself.

I gave it a try making my own menu class from wx.Menu and bind wx.EVT_MENU to it but I can’t seem to get the selected menuitem when I select one of the radioitems… wxEVT_COMMAND_MENU_SELECTED doesn’t work (isn’t it basically the wx.EVT_MENU commandEvent?) … when I bind that event to a menu I get this error:

I think I’m on the right track, but I just need to be able to extract the selected radioitem when I click on it.

Hey Soren,

I think a typo is getting in your way, try replacing:

firstSubMenu.Bind(wx.wxEVT_COMMAND_MENU_SELECTED, self.OnMenuItemSelection)

with:

firstSubMenu.Bind(wx.EVT_COMMAND_MENU_SELECTED, self.OnMenuItemSelection)

when you view the online docs, the events are written without the “.”, which is necessary. Just add in the “.” between wx and EVT_COMMAND_MENU_SELECTED and hopefully you should be good to go.

Regards,

You know, for most of the controls, I would have been right… But of course I jump the gun on this one scratch my last comment.

Replacing Bind with connect seemed to work fine for me:

self.Connect(301, 305, wx.wxEVT_COMMAND_MENU_SELECTED, self.OnMenuRadio)

where 301 is the start id (id), 305 is the end id (id2), & self.OnMenuRadio is your event handler.

This is not really my cup of tea but check this link out, it says this is obsolete but it seems accomodate for the fact that the wx.wxEVT_COMMAND_MENU_SELECTED is an integer instead of a wx._core.PyEventBinder object.

Hopefully this helps a bit:

(OR)

EVT_CUSTOM_MENU_SELECTED = wx.PyEventBinder(wx.wxEVT_COMMAND_MENU_SELECTED, 2)
self.Bind(EVT_CUSTOM_MENU_SELECTED, self.OnMenuRadioButtons, id=301, id2=305)

It’s good I am figuring this out now, it will come in handy later on with my current project.

Hm… I seem to get the same effect as just using wx.EVT_MENU … I bind the EVT_COMMAND_MENU_SELECTED to the submenu holding my radioitems… but how do I obtain which item was selected from the wx.CommandEvent sent when I click on them?? I can only get the submenu through event.GetEventObject()

well, like I said, this is not my cup of tee, but I think you need event.GetId to figure out which one was pressed

Not too sure where to guide you from here, although I am still trying to figure out why you would want to stick a seperator in the middle of the radiobox items? Is there a purpose for this or just for heck of it?

I think I’m on the right track, but I just need to be able to extract the selected radioitem when I click on it.

I would guess all you need to do is to have an wxEVT_COMMAND_MENU_SELECTED handler for all your radio items that deselect all the others for you - i.e. you will have to handle the radio group bit yourself.

Ah ok, thanks! I do agree its not super pretty… but I guess it’ll do!

Well its purely for cosmetic reasons… I have a relatively long list of radiobuttons and just listing them up in a popupmenu looks a little ugly. Functionwise they can be grouped together into two blocks so I thought I’d split them up with a separator… I think it looks much better that way

well, like I said, this is not my cup of tee, but I think you need event.GetId to figure out which one was pressed

Not too sure where to guide you from here, although I am still trying to figure out why you would want to stick a seperator in the middle of the radiobox items? Is there a purpose for this or just for heck of it?

Hm… I seem to get the same effect as just using wx.EVT_MENU … I bind the EVT_COMMAND_MENU_SELECTED to the submenu holding my radioitems… but how do I obtain which item was selected from the wx.CommandEvent sent when I click on them?? I can only get the submenu through event.GetEventObject()

Ah sorry, didn’t see your other replies at first for some reason…

Thanks a lot!

Hi Wain,

Thanks for the tip but I actually tried that first and found out wx.EVT_COMMAND_MENU_SELECTED does not exist … wx.wxEVT_COMMAND_MENU_SELECTED does however but that one gives the me error…

Regards,

Hey Soren,

I think a typo is getting in your way, try replacing:

firstSubMenu.Bind(wx.wxEVT_COMMAND_MENU_SELECTED, self.OnMenuItemSelection)

with:

firstSubMenu.Bind(wx.EVT_COMMAND_MENU_SELECTED, self.OnMenuItemSelection)

when you view the online docs, the events are written without the “.”, which is necessary. Just add in the “.” between wx and EVT_COMMAND_MENU_SELECTED and hopefully you should be good to go.

I gave it a try making my own menu class from wx.Menu and bind wx.EVT_MENU to it but I can’t seem to get the selected menuitem when I select one of the radioitems… wxEVT_COMMAND_MENU_SELECTED doesn’t work (isn’t it basically the wx.EVT_MENU commandEvent?) … when I bind that event to a menu I get this error:

It's best to catch menu events at the frame rather than in the menu or the menu bar.

In the handler you can use event.GetId() to get the ID of the menu item that was selected, and using the ID you can get the menu item using theFrame.GetMenuBar().FindItemById(id)

Thanks! It seems to work well on Linux, but on windows the it apparently forces a Check(True) on the new “group” after the separator… and setting menuitem.Check(False) doesn’t remove it. Is there a way to avoid that?

Ok since I need to have it running on all platforms and its way more trouble than its worth I’m skipping my crazy idea!

Here's one more crazy idea, although I'm not sure how well it would work... Instead of separators use normal radio menu items with a label of "" and disable them.
