wxCheckBox - not supporting keyword validator

wxPython Users
1

Trying to use wxCheckBox I discovered that it does NOT support the keywork validator. Any particular reason why this is the case, or is it just an oversight?

Also Doc shows that one can specify a validator, spent just a little time on it but could not make it work using a validator similar to the one I use for wxTextCtrl and IntCtrl - mainly to do the data transfer from/to Window and database.

Questions:
- Should the CheckBox support a validator which is similar to the one I use for TextCtrl?
- The validator overview stats that the generic one should work for my purposes with the checkbox. Can I derive such a thing from wxPyValidator?

Any hints will be appreciated.

See you
Werner

P.S. I am really looking forward to getting python doc as this c++ stuff totally confused me!

It works for me:

>>> from wxPython.wx import *
>>> app = wxPySimpleApp()
>>> f = wxFrame(None, -1, "Test")
>>> p = wxPanel(f, -1)
>>> cb = wxComboBox(p, -1, "", (25, 25), choices=["one","two","three"],
.. validator=wxDefaultValidator)
>>> f.Show()
1

···

app.MainLoop()

Robin,

CheckBox is not working, I agree that ComboBox is working very nicely.

See you

Oops, sorry. I read it too fast.

Yes, indeed, wxCheckBox is calling that parameter "val" instead of "validator" for some unknown reason. Anybody object if I change it for 2.4.1? (If you're using "val" now then your code will break.)
