wxPython – AddSeparator() method in wx.ToolBar

In this article we are going to learn about AddSeparator() method in wx.ToolBar class of wxPython. AddSeparator() is a very simple function it creates a vertical separation line b/w two tools or two RadioTool groups. Notice that the separator uses the look appropriate for the current platform so it can be a vertical line (MSW, some versions of GTK) or just an empty space or something else.

Syntax : wx.ToolBar.AddSeparator(self)

Parameters : No parameters in AddSeparator() function

Return Type : wx.ToolBarToolBase

Code Example:

import wx


class Example(wx.Frame):
    global count
    count = 0;
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(Example, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

        self.InitUI()

    def InitUI(self):
        pnl = wx.Panel(self)
        self.toolbar = self.CreateToolBar()

        qtool = self.toolbar.AddTool(12, 'right', wx.Bitmap('/home/wxPython/right.png'),
                                                                shortHelp ="Radio Tool")
        self.toolbar.AddSeparator()
        rtool = self.toolbar.AddTool(13, 'right2', wx.Bitmap('/home/wxPython/wrong.png'),
                                                                  shortHelp ="Radio Tool")

        self.toolbar.Realize()
        self.SetSize((350, 250))
        self.SetTitle('Control')
        self.Centre()



def main():

    app = wx.App()
    ex = Example(None)
    ex.Show()
    app.MainLoop()


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
