wxStyledTextCtrl

[Pietro_Cottafavi]

Hi all, this is my first post

i'm really new to wxPython but i have seen its potentials browsing the great demo.py.

I have seen that there is not so much documentation about it , i have only found wiki.wxpython.org .... so right now, copying and pasting pieces of code taken from examples, i have created something but i can't exactly understand what i have done

can someone suggest me some well commented examples or tutorials ?

thanks, PIetro.

mmmm, bad start :)) wrong title for my post.... sorry

i have started this post with the idea of asking something about wxStyledTextCtrl, but while writing i have understand that is better to start from a lower level

Hi Pietro!
Even if i'm a python newbie too, i suggest you first to read more and more
about python before begin with wxPython.

Amazon.com: Programming Python: Object-Oriented Scripting: 9780596000851: Lutz,...

was a great start for me.

Ciao

P.S. Vedo che ha preso pure te python

hi Alessandro !

yes i have already buy this book, but looking SE|PY and demo.py i was really anxious to start creating something with wxPython :), but you are right is better that first i study a little more python to understand it a little more in depth.

ciao

2 links for python

http://ibiblio.org/obp/thinkCS/python.php
and
http://www.hetland.org/python/instant-hacking.php
if the above link doesn't work (site might be down) try the internet archive:
http://web.archive.org/web/20030601215522/http://www.hetland.org/python/instant-hacking.php
this one works for sure

for wxPython... "Use the source Luke, use the source"
you should have 3 things allways available to you (open) the wxpython Demo, the wx documentation and an interpreter shell. The demo to get started (look at the code), the wx docs to see what else is in store for a specific class and the shell to test some of the things (an autocomplition shell like PyShell is a very nice thing to have at hand)

the order of things you need to learn is in my oppinion this:
how to init-start a wx app
how to lay components on a panel/window (the layout mechanism)
how to react to events (the event handler mechanism)
past this all reduces to "get to know the components" (how they look and what events they generate)

one last thing to rememeber:
wxPython was created for python not the other way around so if something can be accomplished in python do it in pure python, trying to learn the wx way might constitute a waste of time.
