[wxPython] How to get the Object associated with an event

wxPython Users
1

Hi all,

Thanks for a brilliant UI toolkit?

How can I get the Object that send a specific event?
I am using a wxCalendarCtrl and I would like to know which object triggered
the EVT_CALENDAR_DAY.
I tried using the event.GetEventObject(), but this only returned None.
I am now trying to use the event.GetId() to try to find the object
associated with this id, but I don't know how to accomplish this.
I tried using the wxWindow.FindWindowById method but this returns a
wxControl object and not a wxCalendarCtrl object.

Could anyone share any light on this as I am having 12 calendar controls and
I don't want to write unnessary code.

Regards
Gerrit van Dyk

the EVT_CALENDAR_DAY.
I tried using the event.GetEventObject(), but this only returned None.

This will be fixed in the next release.

associated with this id, but I don't know how to accomplish this.
I tried using the wxWindow.FindWindowById method but this returns a
wxControl object and not a wxCalendarCtrl object.

Search the archives for wxPyTypeCast and OOR for details on this. If you
use the current 2.3.2 beta then you will get the original calendar object
back, instead of a new "shadow object."
