Hi There
I bought the xwpython in action book and I have been try to teach myself through online tutorials but I am still very new to wxpython and I am confused about something that is likely rather simple.
Basically I want to make an application that will have a few different windows, one where users can controller instruments, one where they can view a live plot and one where they can process the data.
I had planned to have the usual menubar and status bar but I thought I would use the toolbar icons to link to these different windows. When an icon is clicked on I thought I would create a new window and then when another icon is clicked the window would be destroyed and the next would show.
So, to get to the point(thanks for your patience) I was wondering about two things, one what is the best widget to create these new windows that will reside below the toolbar? There seems to be a number of containers, i.e wx.sashedwindow etc, that can do this. I however do not know what is the standard way to do this. The second is, is it sensible to use toolbar icons to link to these other views? should the toolbar really only be used for functions?
Sorry for the long email and the dumb questions. Once someone points this fool in the right direction I will be able to help myself a lot better.
