wxPython – Change Background colour of Button

In this article we are going to learn about how can we change background colour of a button present in a frame. We use SetBackgroundColour() function to set background colour of the button to some different colour.
It takes a wx.Colour class object as an argument.

Syntax: wx.Button.SetBackgroundColour(self, colour)

Parameters:

Parameter	Input Type	Description
colour	wx.Colour	Colour for the background.

Code Example:

import wx


class Example(wx.Frame):

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

    def InitUI(self):
        self.locale = wx.Locale(wx.LANGUAGE_ENGLISH)
        self.pnl = wx.Panel(self)
        font = wx.Font(10, family = wx.FONTFAMILY_MODERN, style = 0, weight = 90,
                        underline = False, faceName ="", encoding = wx.FONTENCODING_DEFAULT)

        self.btn = wx.Button(self.pnl, id = 1, label ="Click", pos =(20, 20),
                                size = wx.DefaultSize, name ="statictext")
        self.btn.SetFont(font)

        # SET BACKGROUND COLOUR
        self.btn.SetBackgroundColour((255, 230, 200, 255))
        self.SetSize((350, 250))
        self.SetTitle('wx.Button')
        self.Centre()

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


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
