WxNotebook page reference help

Lanuez_Javier · November 5, 2004, 10:33pm

I have a application that mainly works with a Notebook widget. When the user make a menu selection a new notebook page is created and the

notebook page’s TextCtrl widget is populated with the contents of file. I’m using the wx.EVT_NOTEBOOK_PAGE_CHANGED

and a callback to find out the page number. All of this is working.

PROBLEM:

I have multiple notebook pages, and the user selects a specific page (I can find out which specific page has been chosen,).

How do I reference the editor widget (wx.TextCtrl) for the selected page, so I can get the editor’s content.

The code used to create each notebook page is below.

def CreateTestCasePage (self, file):

 scroll = wx.ScrolledWindow(self.notebook, -1, style ......)



  # The new page will become the Top page

  self.notebook.AddPage(page = scroll, select =True,  text=tabName)

  .

  .

  id = wx.NewId()

  editor = wx.TextCtrl(scroll, id, size = (700,400), style = wx.TE_MULTILINE | wx.HSCROLL)

  editor.AppendText(file)

 sizer.AddWindow(editor, flag = wx.EXPAND)

scroll.SetSizer(sizer)

scroll.SetScrollRate(20,20)

scroll.SetAutoLayout(True)

scroll.Layout()

Hello!

You have a number of options, for example:

Subclass the wx.ScrolledWindow and store reference to editor in a member variable.

class MyScroll( wx.ScrolledWindow ):

def init( … )

  .....

  self.editor = wx.TextCtrl( ... )

“Inject” reference to the editor in a scroll variable itself.

scroll.editor = wx.TextCtrl( … )

If editor is guarantied to be only one “child” control of scroll then GetChildren() function can be used:

editor = scroll.GetChildren()[0]

Give a name to editor control and then use scroll.FindWindowByName to locate it.
