[wxPython] Where to call wxTextCtrl.SetSelection... ?

CLARKE_RON_HP-Vancou · January 28, 2002, 9:54am

Call wxWindow_FindFocus() first, to get a window object. Then use that
object to call SetSelection:

wnd = wxWindow_FindFocus()
if wnd != None:
wnd.SetSelection(...)

Sorry, I just assumed you had one handler per control. Since you can't in
your situation, here is one possibility: in your SetFocus handler, call
FindFocus (a static wxWindow method, so call like this:

wxWindow_FindFocus()

). FindFocus will return the control that has the focus. Then do whatever
you need for that control.

Hmm, another question, how do I call SetSelection on the return type of
wxWindow_FindFocus? I tried:

wxTextCtrl.SetSelection(wxWindow_FindFocus(), -1, -1)

but it wasn't too happy about that:

TypeError: unbound method SetSelection() must be called with instance as
first argument

wxWindow_FindFocus returns e.g.

So how can I "type-cast" this thing? (Can I type-cast this thing?)

Thanks,
Hugo
