wxPython – Change Font of StaticText

In this article we are going to learn how can we change the font of static text present on the window. To do this first of all, we will create a wx.Font class of wxPython. After this we will use SetFont() function of wx.StaticText class. SetFont() function takes a sing wx.Font type parameter.

Syntax: wx.StaticText.SetFont(self, font) Parameters:

Parameter	Input Type	Description
font	wx.Font	Font for the static text.

Code Example:

Python3

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)

        # create wx.Font object
        font = wx.Font(20, family = wx.FONTFAMILY_MODERN, style = 0, weight = 90,
                      underline = False, faceName ="", encoding = wx.FONTENCODING_DEFAULT)

        self.st = wx.StaticText(self.pnl, id = 1, label ="This is the Label.", pos =(20, 20),
                                size = wx.DefaultSize, style = wx.ST_ELLIPSIZE_MIDDLE, name ="statictext")

        # set font for the statictext
        self.st.SetFont(font)

        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()

Output Window:
