wxPython.button.disabled still catching clicks

wxPython Users

Hello! (sorry for
my english)

I have a
problem with buttons in wxPython. When button is disabled

(by .Disable() or .Enable(False)) it is grayed out but still receive

clicks.

Eg. i have
button that disable itself, runs long action and enable

itself:

def
onClick(self, evt):

self.btn.Enable(False)

for i in range (1000):

    print i

self.btn.Enable(True)

when for loop
is running button is greyed out and when i click on it

nothing happens but when loop ends another one is started because

button “remebered” thad i click on it when was diabled. My only idea

is to reposition button outside frame instead of disabling it but this

solution is…not good.

ps. i solved this
by using subprocess but someone suggested to mail this group for
simplier solution. See also original topic at:
thanks for any help.

what about something like this:

    def onClick(self, evt):
       evt.GetEventObject().Disable()
       wx.CallAfter(self.doOnClick)

    def doOnClick(self):
       do your long running task
       self.btn.Enable(True)

You might also want to check the wiki.
