wxPython – Add text in window

In this particular article we are going to know, how we can add text to a window using wxPython. This can be done using wx.StaticText class. StaticText() constructor controls displays one or more lines of read-only text.

Syntax :

wx.StaticText(self, parent, id=ID_ANY, label=””, pos=DefaultPosition,
                    size=DefaultSize, style=0, name=StaticTextNameStr)

Parameters :

Parameter	Input Type	Description
parent	wx.Window	Parent window. Should not be None.
id	wx.WindowID	Control identifier. A value of -1 denotes a default value.
label	string	Text Label.
pos	wx.Point	Window position.
size	wx.Window	Window size.
style	long	Window style.
name	string	Window name.

Example #1:

# import wxPython
import wx

# create base class
class TextExample(wx.Frame):

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(TextExample, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

        # lets put some text
        st = wx.StaticText(self, label ="Welcome to GeeksforGeeks")

def main():
    app = wx.PySimpleApp()
    frame = TextExample(None, title = "Read Text")
    frame.Show()
    app.MainLoop()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Output :

Example #2:

# import wxPython
import wx


class TextExample(wx.Frame):

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(TextExample, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        # put some text
        st = wx.StaticText(self, label ="Welcome to GeeksforGeeks")

        # create font object
        font = st.GetFont()

        # increase text size
        font.PointSize += 10

        # make text bold
        font = font.Bold()

        # associate font with text
        st.SetFont(font)

def main():
    app = wx.PySimpleApp()

    frame = TextExample(None, title = "Read Text")
    frame.Show()
    app.MainLoop()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
